I love using other people's sketches to inspire my scrap layouts and cards and I am becoming more adventurous in my layouts because of that. I have also started drawing my own mini-sketches when I am away from home and thinking about what I want to do. This week the challenge at the Cricut Circle Blog is to create your own "game plan" or sketch for your project.
As you can see I moved things a little bit, left off the second roof, moved the numbers on to the house instead of on the path and gave the whole page a border, but overall I think it looks a lot like I pictured it would in my drawing.
I used Gypsy Font (Sweet) and Lacy Labels (HOME) for the title at the top. The numbers on the house are from Cursive 101, the roof is a triangle from George and Basic Shapes that I stretched out on my Gypsy and the bushes are from Live Simply. I embossed the roof and the path with polka dots (my favorite) and used sand paper on the bushes. When I got to the end I had no border on the page and felt it was missing something so I used a corner punch by EK Success that allows you to create the basic frame on the corners. This punch is awesome but not always easy to get the measurements right on so I got lucky that it fit. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Came from the Gotta Have Friends blog hop. I love this layout and your sketch. Very clever. I might have to scraplift the idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great. Love the layout of the page

Delightful! I rarely get to my scrapping these days and I am inspired by your LO to take up a picture envelope or two!
ReplyDeleteWow, your entry is fantastic! Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog! I really need to get a sketch out so I can enter the challenge as well. I guess they don't want the sketch I make on my G as I create my LO?! Oh well, I guess I can transfer it to paper.
