Precious Memories ~ SOUS ~ Original Sketch Dec 9th


Hey hey hey! Happy Friday, everybody! Today I am really excited to be posting a new sketch reveal at Stuck on U Sketches  featuring an orignal sketch by 'yours truly!" This was my first digitally designed sketch and it proved to be loads of fun! I hope you will get a chance to play along this challenge.

It has been a few weeks since I did this layout but it was super fun to do. The photo is of my Aunt Arletha and Uncle Weldon back in 1945. I have several family photos from that day and gather that some kind of family event was occuring. For this one I've used some yummy Glitz Vintage Blue papers.  They are just fabulous and I cannot wait to use them again. Then I added in some Prima and Petaloo flowers from last year along with a bit of bling. And of course, distressed with my Distrezz-it-all.

Here are a few close-ups:



Loved these florals and my crinkle ribbon. I also added in a vintage light blue charm for a different texture.



I fussy cut these cute little birdies, then adhered them to cardstock, fussy cut them again and then mounted them with foam squares.



Just a close-up of my bling and Melissa Frances resin photo corner.



I tore away part of the edge and placed a punch cardstock strip behind the tear. I don't use rub-ons that often but have used an old one here for my title. Well, I think that's about it! Once I chose which papers would be which layer, the rest was easy! I did cut my red circular piece about 3 times trying to get it exactly the way I wanted it. It looked different on my Gypsy than on my layout for some reason ..



In case you haven't had the chance to download the sketch, here it is.  As a note of credit, I used Creative Memories Storybook Creator 3 software for my designing. 

I hope that you will take a few moments to see what the rest of the Design Team has done over at Stuck on U Sketches. Remember that you will have 2 weeks to upload your project to the site. Sure hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for coming by!
