Sunday Sketch | Lexi

This week, our layout sketch is a 12x12 layout with lots of patterned paper bits and scattered embellishments. Our card sketch features a cutout circle sentiment and a string of stars, and our Project Life sketch uses a 3x4 photo and circle element. Creative Team member, Lexi Bridges, is joining us this week & sharing her take on our layout sketch. Be sure to follow Lexi 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 layout sketch comes from Elizabeth Kartchner's We are Made of Stories layout:

Our card sketch comes from JJ Bolton's Words in Color card:

And our Project Life sketch comes from Nicole Reave's Project Life 22 spread:

Here's Lexi's take on our layout sketch:

This photo from Disney was a little more pastel, so I went with that when choosing product from Sandlot kits. I added in a circle printable from Sandlot on the photo, similar to the sketch, as well as a trail of embellishments down the left side. I love an alphabet set with layering abilities and this Maggie set certainly fits the bill! I repeated "magic" stamped with the first alpha in spray ink and then stamped over that with the second alpha with regular stamp pad ink. I loved how this mix of fonts worked with this layout.
