Sweet Boy-Feb 13 Sketch

Hi SOUS friends! Happy Thursday. It's Stephanie here today to share my layout using the current sketch by the fabulous Nanne!
 While we just celebrated Valentine's Day, I didn't use a Valentine photo, but rather one of my son (from a few years ago) when he was dressed up in his big sister's accessories!! He is a hoot!

 

I used the Kiss Me collection from Bella Blvd. here. Although it is a layout about my son, I felt this line was appropriate because he was dressing up as a girl!!

 

 

I hand cut a medium sized heart from a piece of patterned paper & placed it behind my photo to follow the sketch. I added some flair buttons that go perfectly with the picture.

 

 

I adored all the paper strips in the sketch as I love mixing & matching patterns & this sketch allowed me to do just that!

 

We hope you get the chance to play along. If you do, remember to link up & share your creation with us. We love seeing what you do with the sketches!!

Thanks for visiting today!

Me & You

Hello sketch fans, it's Rosie with my take on Nanne's fabulous sketch which you can find on the sidebar on your right. Sketches are a great starting point for a layout, you can duplicate them exactly as is or pick and choose the elements you like best, there are no rules!

{supplies: pp/geotags/gem/alphas/stitching stencil-American Crafts/Studio Calico, washi tape?; rosette die, courtyard die, mirrored sheet-Tim Holtz}

I had a doily I'd misted for a previous project and didn't use which I substituted for the large heart in the sketch.

I used a combination of patterned paper and washi tape under the photo and the title block. You could easily use just washi tape for this if you have a healthy supply like I do ;).
The fashion world says it's okay to mix your metals so I figured the Tim Holtz mirrored sheet cut with the Tim Holtz courtyard die would work great with the gold geotags.

The negative pieces from the border die serve as the rosette centres, I used the rosettes instead of the hearts in the sketch.

A stencil and paper piercer made this hand stitched ampersand easy to do. This is such an easy sketch to work I encourage you to give it try!
