March 2021 Jumpstart Sketch at The ScrapRoom

TGIF!!  As I was looking at some past sketches I have created trying to find one to use on a layout I need to create this weekend I came across this one I created for The ScrapRoom's March 2021 Jumpstart sketch.  I loved this sketch so much and realized that I never shared it here on my blog!  So here it is:

Here is the layout I created with the sketch using the March 2021 Flavors of the Month Kit at The ScrapRoom:

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Pretty Little Studio Miss Sadie Rose; ephemera: Pretty Little Studio Miss Sadie Rose.

I love this paper collection!  The color palette is so soft and soothing, just perfect for this photo of my friend's sweet granddaughter!  I really love the black and white florals, they just lend a pop of black and white to give the perfect accent for this page don't you think?  I hope your weekend is full of creative fun!  If you created something using this gorgeous collection make sure and share it here in the comments!  Happy creating!

November Jumpstart sketch at The ScrapRoom

Happy Hump Day!!  Today I am sharing another layout created with the November Flavors of the month kit at The ScrapRoom.  This layout is created with the amazing mini kit from Simple Stories Cozy Days, gosh I love this collection!!  Definitely up there in my top ten of all time!!  Here is the mini kit I used for today's layout:

Here is the November Jumpstart sketch I used to created today's layout:

Here is my layout using the kit & the sketch:

Supplies Used: Navy cardstock- from the kit; Patterned Paper: Simple Stories Cozy Days- from the kit; ephemera: Simple Stories Cozy Days-from the kit; letter stickers: American Crafts Thickers- from my stash; puffy stickers: Simple Stories Cozy Days: from the kit; doily- from my stash.

I love how this turned out!  I printed my pictures in black and white so they weren't competing with the colors of the papers and it looks great!  I used one larger photo in lieu of the two smaller ones in the sketch. I also used my black pen to outline some of the papers to make them pop more.  I added a doily in place of the leaves in the upper right corner as I thought it fit the look of my layout better.  I hope you will hop on over to The ScrapRoom blog to see what the other DT members did with this sketch and this kit, so much inspiration!  Happy creating!
