sunday sketch | Monika

This week, we invited SC member Monika (username MonaLisa) to share her take on one of our sketches. She couldn't resist seeing the ability to use both, and we're excited to share them with you!

First up is our card sketch, based on a card from Stephanie Washburn:

Our scrapbook sketch this week is from Stephanie Bryan's guest designer gallery:

Monika dove right in with the scrapbook sketch first...I love how she used color paired with her black & white photos!

Supplies: SC kit - Front Row ; Spencers, SC Sundrifter Sticker sheet

When I saw the sketches, I knew I have to use the layout sketch because of its composition, and the original work by Stephanie.  I used older SC kits with colorful papers and black and white photos of my son. I loved work with this sketch.

But I liked also the card sketch, and I couldn't resist it. I had to make another layout! I flipped the sketch and grabbed this month's SC kit.  I loved the star in a circle and I thought I could use different papers to make the arms of the star,  and colorful cord to make the circle.  I love how the sketch turned out! Thank you Studio Calico again  for the invitation. It was fun to play with these sketches! 

Look at her gorgeous interpretation of the card sketch, featuring the star!!

Supplies: SC Roundabout Scrapbook kit; Addons - Navy pier ; Outer Banks 

Monika's ability to think outside of the box really shines through in this second layout...I love that she focused in on the star element. We love what she came up with, and hope you do as well. If you'd like to see more of her work, check her SC gallery or visit her blog. She is also active in the Twitter community: @ _Monalisa1_ . Thank you for sharing these with us, Monika! :)

Now it's your turn! Make a project with using one of this week's sketches as a starting point, then share it in the Studio Calico gallery. Leave us a link to your project by July 1st in the comments here to be entered to win a $5 GC to the Studio Calico Shop.

    I posted a layout from the sketch already, but I also used the card sketch. I tried posting this 3-4 times on the old blog, but it kept disappearing. Trying one more time:
