Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style--Sketch #21

Welcome to April and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for April comes from the lovely Maven Shawn:

I didn't have any pictures printed for my PL album, so I used this week's sketch with a photo of my grandparents as the focal point of a 12x12 page.

I layered three of the greenish-colored sequins together in this corner, because they're such a light color that they really couldn't be seen otherwise.  I LOVE the way it turned out!

Supplies Used

~Becky Higgins Project Life journaling pen

~Bella Creationz Metallic Graphite Gray and Pastel sequins

~Carta Bella Moments & Memories collection

~Teresa Collins Daily Stories and Something Wonderful sequins

We can't wait to see the PL cards you create with this new sketch!  Be sure to get your creation linked up at the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style challenge blog before the end of the month.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!









Sketches in Thyme PL Style--Sketch #17

Welcome to March and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for March comes from the lovely Maven Shawn:

I used the sketch to make my title card for the Week 24 page in my 2014 album.  Yes, I am STILL working on my 2014 album.  Not sure if I will EVER get it finished, but I need to, because I already have my title cards lined up for my 2016 album!  (I've decided that a 2015 album is simply NOT going to happen, and I have resigned myself to that fact and to just scrapping the most important memories from 2015.)

Unfortunately, I don't have a completed PL page to show you TODAY due to printer problems, but I'm hoping to get them fixed and be able to edit this post to include that completed page later this week.  Be sure to stop back by!

Lucerne

My intent was to post my layouts for the LOAD 2016 challenge as I got them finished, so I have to apologize that I'm a couple of days late with this one!  The prompt for Day 3 was music.  My first thought IMMEDIATELY went to photos I had of a Jesuit church I visited in Lucerne, Switzerland.  I found this sketch at Let's Scrap:

and flipped the left side of the sketch to fit one of the monthly challenges in the Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' Yahoo group.  

This church is so much more beautiful than the pictures show!  I absolutely love the colors inside; I only wish I could have heard music coming out of the organ.

Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style--Sketch #13

Welcome to February and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for February comes from the lovely Maven Shawn:

I used the sketch to make my title card for the Week 23 page in my 2014 album.  Unless I SERIOUSLY get busy, I think I am going to be working on my 2014 album FOREVER!!!

The photo printer in my craft room is still on the fritz, but I was able to get our downstairs printer working correctly with my computer in order to print the pics so I could show you a finished PL page!  Yay!!!

I matted my 4x6 photos, because once I trimmed the edges off the prints they were a little small for the sections.  I printed the center photos on 4x6 photo paper, too, then just trimmed them down to 3x4 for the center section.  I really like writing directly on the photos when I do PL pages.  I think it looks neat!

Supplies Used

~Becky Higgins Project Life Journaling Pen (I really love these pens for writing on photos!)

~Bella Creationz Clearly Beautiful sequins

~Echo Park Flip Flops--I Love Sunshine decorative washi tape

~Gelly Roll Pen--white (I'd never used this pen on my photos before, but it worked quite well!)

~Me and My Big Ideas Chipboard Embellishments--Sassy Alphabets

~Washi tape (turquoise) from stash
