Using Sketches

Using Sketches is a fabulous way to re-inject some creativity into your pages or to challenge yourself to try something different.  I used this weeks sketch from 'Let's Get Sketchy' as the foundation for the design of this page:
Being who I am...I couldn't just copy it as it was but instead I shrunk down the cool square and triangle piece, centred it, stitched around it before adding my 'photo tag' and a little journaling sticker under the title.

It was fun seeing this page come together.  I used Close To My Heart's Swan Lake papers and complements, making it very easy to co-ordinate my page!

Smiles,
Lara

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

'Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit

  This was an easy way to get lots of memory keeping done at a crop yesterday!  7 layouts created and I put together another one from the kit today.  There is still more left in the kit box to make 2 - 3 more layouts! I made a few additions - some stamping, splattering, stitching and threads to add some texture and background interest. Head to the shop to check out this kit!
