yippieee! what a great way to start 2011! sharon, serbina & i had our 1st scrap session for the year, on the 5th of january. to make things more interesting and to get us all going, we had a little game where we each brought a sketch and we all had to make a layout based on that sketch - which meant that by the end of the day, we all went home with the 'skeletons' or 'foundations' for 3 layouts!
initially, even i was a little afraid that we wouldn't be able to complete the base for all 3 layouts but i think we completed our tasks well and we were all left with some 'homework' of embellishing and adding the final touches to our layouts when we left serbina's.
here is my take of the sketch that sharon brought...
materials used: patterned papers - graphic45; cardstock - dcwv; alphas- american craft thickers, jenni bowlin, brads - making memories and inks - ranger/tim holtz distress inks
i love peter rabbit and i know my nephew, samuel, cannot sleep without his best friend, peter rabbit. thus there was no doubt in my mind, when i first saw graphic45's 'once upon a springtime', that these papers were going onto a layout for samuel.
this posting is late, by the way, because samuel's mummy saw the layout and provided me with a photo which was more suitable - a photo that actually had 'peter rabbit' and not just any friend from the 'peter rabbit' collection. thank you, constance, for providing with a selection of photos for me to choose, please continue to snap more photos of the little one!
the sketch that serbina chose was from http://www.pagemaps.com/ and here is my take of it...
materials used: patterned papers - my mind's eye, cardstock - dcwv, alphas - american craft thickers, stickers - tsukineko and inks - ranger/tim holtz distress inks.
i've been wanting to scrap these photos for ages but i wasn't sure how to place the photos or what papers to use. i'm so glad that i finally found papers that would bring out the colors of the cathedral in the photo and thanks to serbina for the sketch!
i can't wait to add the finishing touches to my last layout for ssj's scrap session 01/11, please come back again to see what i created with a sketch from http://www.pencillines.com/
enjoy the rest of the week!
*hugs*
