We have a new sketch for you to work with this month. I think when I made this sketch, I had paper flower kits on my brain and I was thinking it would be fun to add more photos along with some fun elements like clear cut or chipboard shapes. Hope you will play along this month! Please see the details and contest rules at the bottom of this post.
Below is my version of the sketch, which I followed pretty closely.
This is the BRAND NEW Paradise collection that is being shipped to stores as I type. In fact I think a few Local Scrapbook stores already have it on their shelves! This is such a fun collection with a great color palette and embellishment choices. For this page I tried to keep it simple with three patterned papers, Tear Out Ticket Book, Favorite Pieces, Fresh Verse Stickers, Paper Flower Kit and Jewel Stickers.
Take a look at what some of our Cycling Team Members did with the sketch! Be sure to visit their blogs for more details and close ups about their projects.
