Let's Go Fast | PageMaps with Cocoa Daisy

Cocoa Daisy was invited to create with the August sketches at Page Maps.  Here is what I created, documenting that I actually did a BIG ride, (anything is big compared to my normal Dumbo, lol) using the July kits.

Go Your Own Way | Jillibean Soup

Welcome to another week!  I'm actually ready for it (I think).  

Today I am sharing a layout that was created for Jillibean Soup's partnership with Page Maps for the May sketches.

I did rotate the sketch with the pictures at the top instead of the bottom and added an extra layer on the outside, but other than that I stuck pretty close to the sketch.

Captured - Bella Blvd and PageMaps

Some of us from the Bella Blvd DT were asked to join Becky Fleck at PageMaps for this month's sketches.  I loved the sketch I received and actually created quite a few variations, but I felt this one fit the sketch the best.

Here was my sketch:

And here is what I created:

My layout fits the sketch in its original position 

or turn the sketch 90* and flip it and it fits that way too!

Here are some detail shots:

I Don't Want to Forget This - Simple Stories

Some of us from the Simple Stories DT had the chance to create for the PageMaps March sketches.  Here is my take on the sketch using the Daily Grind collection and some cute little boys!

This is a cut from the Silhouette store from Simple Stories which I cut out of the new journaling layers!

More sketchy work with PageMaps...

The next sketch I worked on for the 7th anniversary of PageMaps asked you to use borders.  I used some sticker borders, sticker tags, and paper to create my borders.  I love the new summer line by Simple Stories and since that was the prize, I definitely had to jump in on this challenge!

The sketch...

And what I did with it...

I used a mix of Simple Stories 24/7 and Urban Traveler that was in my June Memorable Seasons DT kit.

And since I was on a roll, I also saw this sketch on My Mind's Eye blog and totally fell in love with the sketch.  I figured I'd use it someday, but that someday happened when I was printing out pictures and saw this other picture of Pooh Bear with all the kids, I knew it was perfect!

The sketch...

And my interpretation using the MME Boy Crazy line which I LOVE!!!

Instead of the squares I loved this patterned paper so I grabbed my circle punches and punched away.  I also used the chevron paper in the Boy Crazy line in place of the sewn lines, it just seemed like the circles needed some direction.  Otherwise I kept the sketch pretty similar b/c I was in love with it.  I've got to say letting someone else do the thinking and just playing with the paper was a lot of fun and takes a lot less time! LOL

I will be back with some Bella projects, my June Memorable Seasons DT kit and the newest issue of PaperHaus... stay tuned!

Sketch time!

Yep, I am playing with sketches yet again.  Hard to believe I know, but Page Maps is celebrating 7 years and has some awesome prizes so I thought I might play along!  :)

Here is one I created with some new goodies for a Cherry on Top - Cameron collection by Elles Studio.  Let's just say this collection is perfect for my boys and the beautiful blues that seem to permeate FL!

The sketch...

And what I created...

I mixed this line with a piece of Studio Calico and the everyday sticker from Jillibean, plus my favorite wood veneers from Studio Calico.

The next sketch was given by Fancy Pants and you needed to make a boy or a girl layout.  I had just gotten a hold of the lovely Down by the Shore line so I decided to scrap these pictures of my boys at the beach.

The Sketch...

What I did with it...

I chose to rotate the sketch 90*s so that I could use my horizontal picture I had.  In place of the flowers for this page I chose to use stars, both the Studio Calico wood veneers and my favorite Martha Stewart all over punch.  I also used a Silhouette file from Pink Paislee.  Our little Gino had never been to the beach and he had such a good time, I asked the kids to get together so I could get a picture and he gave me this look and yelled CHEESE!  Gotta love that kid!

Thanks for stopping by, I have another few to show you tomorrow once the sun comes back up!

Sketches

I don't usually play along with sketch challenges because I tend to do my own thing, but lately with the baby brain going on I've needed some design help to get my mojo flowing, lol!

So here is a layout that I created using some Pebbles Seen & Noted collection and some Studio Calico goodies and this sketch by Page Maps...

I chose to rotate the sketch 90* and I replaced the flower paper with three different pieces, but I love how it turned out...

Here is another page I created using Bella goodies and a sketch for Scrapbook & Cards Today...

I have a few more to share, but we will save those for another day!  See you then...
