Authentique's First Sketch Challenge!

Hi All! I am so excited for Authentique's first ever sketch challenge (and my first ever blog post as a DT member)! If you've followed my blog in the past, you know that I tend to do my best work when I have a sketch or guide to create from. There is a card sketch and a layout sketch this month, but I have decided to do the layout sketch.

Here is the sketch:



And here is the layout I created:

Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper: Uncommon Gifted (gray side) and Unique (flower side)
Die cuts: Uncommon Tabloids, Elements
Other: ribbon and button (American Crafts), twine, cardstock

I have two girls, so I love how girly and fun the Uncommon line is. It works so well with black and white pictures, too. I decided to scrap a couple pictures I took of my oldest daughter. This layout is simple, but fun at the same time.

I went outside of my comfort zone and left a lot of white space. I decided to use an Element die cut and a Tabloid die cut to fill in some of the white space at the top of the page.



I used one of the Tabloid journaling tags for a tiny bit of personalization and used dimensional adhesive to make it pop.



I thought it would be fun to tie some twine around the pictures and use a button that matches the Uncommon line. This picture also shows the details behind the title Element card. I distressed the paper to give it a bit of an edge because the rest of the page is very pretty and straight-laced.



Thank you so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you create with the fabulous sketches Tifany created.
