Sunday Sketch | Lisa Truesdell

This week our scrapbook sketch is a 12" x 12" layout featuring a circular design of embellishments with an offset photo and a large title in the middle of the page. Our card sketch has a central mirrored focal element and title with layered strips and embellishment in the bottom half of the page. And our pocket page sketch features a 3" x 4" card with three circular elements and a 3" x 4" photo card with a title on a banner. Creative Team member Lisa Truesdell is joining us this week and sharing her take on the week's scrapbook sketch! Be sure to follow Lisa here at SC to see more of her work and keep up with her.

Our scrapbook sketch comes from Kelly Noel's Trick or Treat layout:

Our card sketch comes from Lisa Spangler's Only Fish in the Sea for Me card:

And our pocket page sketch comes from Jen Chapin's Love This Documenter Page:

And here's Lisa's take on our scrapbook sketch:

As soon as I saw the sketch based on Kelly's layout, I knew it would be perfect for all of the fun bits and pieces in the Starlight Scrapbook kit. In fact, it was so perfect that the only real change I made was to flip flop the photo placement over to the right side! I placed my photo, then drew a light pencil line to define where the circle would go on my page. From there, I just had fun using the die cut washi, stamp stickers, puffy asterisks and buttons to create a circular grouping. I love how this design keeps the focus right on my photo, even with all the fun colors and embellishments I added to the layout.
