I love the bold statements, yet simplicity of this week's sketches! I was inspired by the scrapbook sketch to create a full 9x12 page to add into my everyday album. I had a 4"x6" print already printed to insert into my album but it was taken at the beginning of a week that we went to Disneyland so my pocket pages mostly featured those photos. Since I didn't want this photo to get lost I decided that a full page would fit in perfectly! I loved the horizontal photo in the scrapbook inspiration page, but since I had my photo already printed, I just used a piece of cardstock to create the same look. With just a card, a few embellishments and some hidden journaling, the page came together quickly!

Supplies: Brimfield Scrapbook kit, Brimfield Project Life® kit, Bakelite and Chippy Paint
