Sketch and scrap

 


Here is the June sketch for Sketch and scrap

I used offcuts from the previous layout on my card, which could be for a male.

The papers are from Rusty Pickle and the sentiment from Kaisercraft Rosabella.

My sentiment says Life is better with you in it.


I've also entered this at The Paper Players

Jumpstart sketch plus colour challenge

 


This is the jumpstart sketch at The scraproom group.


This is the colour challenge at Soul Scrappers.


I decided to combine the two. I used 2 photos from my cruise matting them on neutral paper. Next, I cut 2 triangles for my corners. After gluing them I added washi tape strips. Next, I put them on the layout and cut chipboard chicken wire to size. I put it through my Xyron.to make it sticky. After adding those to my layout I used pearls and rhinestones plus small hexagons in the chicken wire plus scattered on my layout. My title is in 2 colours silver and copper to ensure I had enough letters. I added a blue star on a toothpick and my short journalling and it is done!

Freaky fast formula

 I've made a layout today, the first in a week. 


Yesterday I won some charms from Charms creations so use one on here. I put the circle, doiley flower and felt stitched arrow in a cluster. The wood veneer heart I separated and put it near the top of my layout. I used 2 of the 4 papers as my mats and another for the journal block.


I've also done a couple more junk journal pages.


On this one I used a corner pocket and punched flowers.


This one features mini envelopes and an altered tag. It is on the theme of mail.


This one features an opening mini folder ,closed on the first picture and open below showing some tags I added

More junk pages

 








Here are some more of my pages and no particular reason I did them. Most of these seem to feature a vintage theme.

Junk Journal fun.

 


I bought this kit from Artstacks to give it a try. I've long been an admirer of Lisa Oxley.

I recently started a Junk Journal so here are the pages I made with this kit.

Junk journal paper bag conversion.

 I started with a small bag from the donut shop.


Next, I glued muslin on the top of it.


Then I edged it with antique lace making a frame. I added paper across the frame and added smaller tags


I glued it to the left-hand side of the page.


In the top pocket (bag) I put a matching tag.

The tag top peeks out of the pocket

Tic tac toe (again)

 

After making the last card, I realized I missed the cut off point for that challenge. This is the current one.

I chose to go across the middle row. I used gold cardstock then added a yellow spotted paper. I made another embossed piece of card and added fine pearls. My sentiment says it's the little things that count.
