Sketch Challenge using Wildflowers Collection!
Hello Pretty Little Studio Friends! Misty @Mommyof kids here with you today sharing my take on the August Sketch Challenge! I am so excited that Melissa based this month's sketch on one of my layouts!
So, I stuck pretty close to the original design and I used
Wildflowers on this layout. (obviously I loved the original design...I did it! HA HA!) Anyway, the only changes that I made were the size and orientation of the photo, and the placement of the title. Everything else matched up pretty well!
I used the
Joy Die cuts for the title and for the "subtitles" only layout. The phrases put together with that title were perfection! Every moment matters!! Especially when you live 1300 miles apart like my husband and his 3 daughters. The distance and the time apart always makes him miss them so much...making their time together a treasure, and so much sweeter!
I have used the
12x12 Single Sided Wildflowers Paper Pack - specifically the
Apple Blossom page. I also used a bit of the
Wildflowers Digitals Collection to add a bit more pizzaz!
So, this is the original paper that I used on my original layout... I still had it and I used it again on this one! I used my craft knife to cut out a few more of the hexagons and then layered the remainder of the page onto a piece of solid white cardstock.
Once I had that base started, I began the details. The photo, the title, the extra hexagons, etc. I popped some up using foam tape and others I left flat. I think my favorite part was deciding to add stitching inside some of the empty spots! While I was only going to stitch inside a few, I couldn't stop myself, and before I knew it, I had stitched inside several using 3 different colors of thread. WHAT!?? That is sooo not me! I am a lazy scrapper...who have I become!? HA HA HA!!
I did't add any mixed media to this one...I felt there was enough color and texture. However, I did add a few tiny flowers and just a bit of ink to highlight the word strips. I also used a stitched hexagon diet to create my larger shapes. Not a lot of time, but a whole lot of color and love in this layout!! I hope you will join us over on our Facebook Fans page and play along with our August Challenges!
