Page Drafts "One Of A Kind Challenge" Sketch Challenge

Hello friends! It's been a while since I have blogged.  Eight days is a lot for me to not post something on my blog.  It has been very busy lately but I did have time last weekend at a retreat to create a layout for the Page Drafts "One Of A Kind Challenge" for Sketch 30.1 from the Page Drafts #30 Release.

Here is the sketch that I created from.  It is pretty true to this sketch,  but I didn't include the banner.

I used the Close To My Heart "Skylark" Collection for the papers, the stamp and most of the embellishments on this page.

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

So Lovely Layout

Hello creative friends!  Happy Monday!  Today I wanted to share a layout of my daughter that I created with an awesome sketch from Page Drafts.  I love sketches and Emma Stafrace clearly knows how to create some really amazing ones.  I saw this one and was so inspired.

For my layout I wanted to create a vintage, feminine, shabby chic type of design.  I didn't stray too far from the sketch and cut lots of different designs with my Cameo and added some lace and pearls and used my sewing machine to give it a more homemade feel.  I used the Kaisercraft Tea Break Collection of patterned papers and the two rose die cuts.  I just love pink and green together.  Something that isn't the norm for me is to use my computer to create my journaling but I wanted it to fit the layout.

Here are some more closeups

Do you ever see a sketch and want to create something as soon as you see it?  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
