Sunday Sketch | Brenna

This week, we asked Brenna Crook (SC username Brenna) to join us by sharing her take on our sketches. Brenna uses lots of color + layering in her projects, and we were excited to see what she came up with!

Here's a look at the sketches - our layout sketch is based on a design by Gillian Nelson

And the card sketch is based on a design from Joy Taylor:

Brenna was inspired by both sketches, and turned in two projects...we love them both!

Supplies: Double Scoop Scrapbook Kit & PL kit & Add on Pattern Paper, Storytime Darling Transparency, Mister Huey - Piglet, Ink- Chewing Gum by Jenni Bowlin, gold metallic thread - Gutterman

I love using card sketches for layouts! I loved the large vertical title and the large amount of white space on the sketch. I have been meaning to scrapbook this conversation for a long time and but have found that the amount of journalling I wanted to include to be a challenge. I decided to include an interactive portion on the layout in order to maintain the white space I loved, but also include all of the journalling. The entire left side of the layout opens up to reveal the entire text message.

Supplies: SC Double Scoop Scrapbook kit & PL kit & Add on Pattern Paper & Cotton Candy Stamp Add on, Mister Huey - Honeydew, Ink - Fresh Peach by Hero Arts, gold metallic thread - Gutterman

I absolutely adored G's double page layout but I almost never create double page layouts myself. I still loved the sketch though, so I decided to compress the sketch into a single page layout.

How cool is the interactive element on her first page?! And being someone who also shies away from double page layouts, I LOVE that she condensed the layout sketch into a single page project!! Thank you for sharing your work with us, Brenna!! If you'd like to see more of her work, please check her SC Gallery.

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 September 30th in the comments here to be entered to win a $5 GC to the Studio Calico Shop.

    Beautiful pages! Love the concealed journaling on the first layout. She will enjoy reading this as she gets older. Wish I had documented this for my sons (now 32 and 29). Your dd is beautiful!
