Sunday Sketch | Kelly

This week, our layout sketch is an 8.5x11 sketch with washi tape strips and tucked in photos. Our card sketch features banner strips and a circular detail and our Project Life sketch uses a 3x4 photo and a square caption. Creative Team member, Kelly Noel, is joining us this week & sharing her take on our layout sketch! Be sure to follow Kelly here at SC to see more of her work and keep up with her.

First, let's look at this week's sketches - our 8.5x11 sketch comes from Catherine Davis' Lil Santas layout:

Our card sketch comes from Jenn Picard's Celebrate card:

And our Project Life sketch comes from Marcy Penner's October 2014 spread:

And here's Kelly's take on our card sketch:

It was so tough for me to choose a sketch to work with as I really was inspired by all three sketches, but I ultimately decided to use the card sketch. I hadn't made a card in a long time and it was fun to try my hand at cardmaking again! I was inspired by Jenn's use of the half doily circle to add weight to the bottom of her card and mimicked the look here by cutting the gold vellum paper into a triangle shape. I cut two banner shapes by hand using papers from the Park Ave. scrapbook kit and used foam adhesive to attach the smaller one for dimension. I added the Hello My Dear sentiment strip, also with foam adhesive, and then stapled three die cut leaves together and tucked them underneath the sentiment strip. Finally, I used a standard hole punch to make gold confetti from some of the gold leaves in the Maggie Holmes pack and added them to the top half of the card.

Supplies: Park Ave. Scrapbook Kit, Grand Central Project Life Add-on, Ritz Scrapbook Add-on

    Love that card sketch the best. Now would be a good time for me to crack open my 3 card kits. Kelly, your take on it is gorgeous! I love everything about it. The gold accents are wonderful!
    Were the die cut leaves in the new kits or did you die cut them yourself?

    @pinksoup, thank you! The die cut leaves are from the Maggie Holmes die cut flowers/leaves pack from the Ritz add-on :)

    Just love this scrapbook sketch! Made one attempt at it with Walden, but I'll probably be trying it again when I dig into Park Avenue!
