Sunday Sketch | Allison

This week, our layout sketch is a 12x12 layout with a grid of photos, patterned papers and embellishments. Our card sketch features a large paper flower embellishment and our Project Life sketch uses a 3x4 photo and banner. Creative Team member, Allison Waken, is joining us this week & sharing her take on our layout sketch. Be sure to follow Allison here at SC to see more of her work and keep up with her.

First, let's look at this week's sketches - our 12x12 layout sketch comes from Elizabeth Kartchner's Shutterbug layout:

Our card sketch comes Dana Fleckenstein's You're a Gem card:

And our Project Life sketch comes from Amanda Caves' August spread:

And here's Allison's take on our Project Life sketch:

I love starting with a sketch and letting the photo, story or products direct where the page goes from there. I used the Project Life card sketch as inspiration for this 8.5"x11" layout. I flipped the sketch vertically and used it as a base for this simple layout. I love using bits and pieces from my Studio Calico kits to pull together quick layouts like this that can tell such a big story!

Supplies: Card - The Underground Project Life kit; rubons, alpha, tag, label - Baker Street addon; brad - Chelsea addon; Scarf Stamp Set, Cozy Card Set; tiny attacher; cardstock - American Crafts
