Saturday Sketch

This 5-photo, 2-page layout was created using a digital kit. Don't despair if you are a traditional scrapper. This layout is easily duplicated when broken into steps.
  1. Start with a solid background paper.
  2. Cut large paisleys or crescent moons from patterned paper and adhere to the background paper.
  3. Trim the 5-photos to size.
  4. Using a large circle punch or Coluzzle circle template, cut a half circle from each of the two end photos as shown.
  5. Adhere photos to pages.
  6. Adhere ribbon so that it overlaps both the paper and photos.
  7. Pierce the middle of each felt or paper circles (as well as the paper where the embellishment will go) and insert a large brad (or a button) through all layers and splay the back the back of the brads to secure.
  8. On a slightly larger circle of felt or paper, add your layout title and journaling.
    Adhere to layout.
  9. The final touch is a coordinating frame adhered over the main photo to highlight your subject.
Digital kit: Rainy Day Sunday Add-On, designed and copyrighted by Amy Bleser. See yesterday's Friday Freebie to grab this kit for free.

Please send me your completed layouts. I helps keep me motivated to create these sketches each week.

All the Best,
Colleen
