Like Michelle, I am getting down to the scraps of my January kit and I was keen to get them used up.  The February sketch was the perfect opportunity to put those little bits to good use and to challenge me with a sketch that is nothing like my usual style.

First I decided that an 8.5 x 11 layout was in order and since I had a lot of pink papers to use, I decided to use a photo of me. I also rotated the sketch anti-clockwise by 90 degrees to accommodate my portrait-oriented photo.

Rather than create a grid with space between the elements, I went with a looser style, overlapping my papers here and there.










I hope my interpretation of the February sketch inspires you to play along with us!

Happy scrapping,
Louise

Completely different to my normal layered up style, this time Ive gone for a more spread out page. Lots of different size strips and scraps make up the base, with the addition of a doily from stash, a tag stickers and embellishments from the embellishment kit.

All this layout is missing, is a little baggie of the curls I collected from the floor after chopping off all her dry ends. I might squeeze it in behind the main photo.. one day

The only thing I haven't done as usual is sew my thickers down. I might do this one day in the future to keep them in the same place. Ive found recently they aren't as sticky as they should be, as I've had to go back and fix older layouts.



There you have it. A layout completely different to my usual style but one that was totally fun to complete :)
