Sunday Sketch I Christine

This week, Christine Cieri (SC username, Christine Cieri), is sharing her take on our layout sketch! Christine's work is playful and fun and her gallery is full of beautiful layouts. We love seeing her work in the gallery and couldn't wait to see her work with the sketches!

First, let's look at this week's sketches - our 8.5x11 layout comes from Melanie Louette's Not A Martha layout:

And our card sketch comes from Guest Designer, ChristinaC's Hi card:

Here's what Christine has to say about working with the layout sketch:

When SC asked me to take on the sketch challenge for this week I was beyond excited! When I saw the sketch it challenged me, but in a good way. There are clean lines in this sketch and I wanted to embrace that. I wanted to flip the sketch and take it on vertically and I knew that right away. I kept this layout rather simple as I wanted to follow the sketch and not be too heavy on the embellishments but still keep true to my style. I decided my title would go on a title block I created with a tag laying on the photo with the awesome transparency card from the Project Life Blue Note Kit. I wanted to keep the three block design as related to the sketch as well. I added the little stars for some subtle dimension in one of the three areas and then finishing off the other with the "you are here" card from the Double Scoop Project Life Kit. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this challenge and share my work.

Supplies: Add-On Patterned Paper - December 2013, Cuppa Project Life Kit, Blue Note Project Life Kit, Double Scoop Project Life Kit
