We invited member Jennie (ajmcgarvey) to choose one of these to use as a starting point this week, and she couldn't stop at just one!! She wowed us with all 3 of the projects she submitted!!

Using the layout sketch:

Supplies: (Layout)Spencer's and Daily Grind kits; Studio Calico wood veneer; Jillibean Alphabeans stickers; Dear Lizzy/American Crafts Date Stamper; Silhouette SD

(Card) Supplies: Spencer's and Daily Grind kits; Studio Calico wood veneer; Studio Calico printable label; Chic Tags birthday tag


Layout: I was very excited to see the sketch with the scattered hearts up the side, as it's always fun to have a repeating element.  I stayed pretty close to the original sketch in terms of design, but I did change it up a bit.  I used some new photos of my sons that I was excited to scrap and layered them with various papers from the Spencer's kit.  I also added a stamped strip along the bottom of the photos.  Instead of hearts, I went with speech bubbles with the love theme, it fit my layout perfectly.

Card: I knew the sketch designed for a page would translate well to a card.  I wanted to switch it up a bit and I thought a tag and arrows would really feel festive yet keep the card very simple and uncluttered.

And using the Card Sketch:

Supplies: Spencer's and Daily Grind kits; Studio Calico wood veneer; Studio Calico printable label; Studio Calico stamp; Versamark Ink; seam binding ribbon; Silhouette SD

I love to work with stars so I was excited to get to scatter some of my favorite Studio Calico wood veneer pieces with the larger die cut.  This card sketch was simple enough to still have a clean feel but also leave a little room for interpretation.  I thought it would be more interesting to layer it a bit so I added a printable Studio Calico label for more layers and interest.

Lots of ideas and bright colors on Jennie's projects! Her clean style is one that always seems to pop out to me...thank you so much for joining us this week, Tina!! You can see more inspiration from her in her SC Gallery, and on her blog.
