I had lots of fun with this one, I decided to just go crazy and pile on the embellishments.

This was one of those "because you're so cute" layouts. I took these photos of Kieran mainly because I liked that wooden plank background. It's actually the side of a friend's garage. But I did tell the story of how Kieran is usually happy to "pose" for photos for me. I wonder how long that will last?

Now you can go see what Vernell did with the sketch.

Here's my page: a rare one about me!

It's about my attempt to wear more colour, especially during the dark months of winter when black is my go-to.

Some details:

I used the March kit from Studio Calico.

Now go see what Vernell did with the sketch!

Sister Sketch Reveal! | Life of K

So did anyone notice that we're a week late with the reveal this month? Sorry! Here we are at last with our layouts for March.

First a look back at the sketch by Vernell

You can grab the JPG above or download the PDF here. We have a layered template here too.

Now here's my page. I instantly thought "Instagram!" when I saw the sketch, and I even had photos already printed out.

I used supplies from two different Studio Calico kits that I had already dipped in to. Another white background because I am addicted. I wanted the page to have lots of movement and colour, just like Kieran and all the arrows were perfect.

Now go see what Vernell did with the sketch.

If you use any of our sketches please leave us a link so we can see your page!

Sister Sketch Reveal! | You ♥ Paint

Ready to see my page for this month? First a look back at the sketch:

Get the PDF file here | Get a layered template here

I mentioned how much Kieran is in love with painting of late and I really wanted to get that documented. I found these photos from early December which were perfect.

I loved this sketch and stuck really closely to it. Instead of one 4x6 photo I used two 3x4 ones. It's been a while since I've done a page this size though, so it was a bit of a struggle getting used to a rectangular canvas again. Funny how that works right?

Gotta have some close up shots:

I used the November Sock Hop kit from Studio Calico.

Now go see what Vernell did with the sketch! If you use the sketch or the template leave us a link to your page!

 

A Quick Digital Layout with the January Sister Sketch

As promised here is a digital layout I did today using the layered template from January.

This photo popped out of me as I was looking through the archives this past week and I knew it would be perfect to highlight on a one-photo page. You may remember seeing it here before (also a Sister Sketch!).

I used a free digital kit that I got from Pixels & Co. It was a freebie on their Facebook Page.  If you want to take a stab at digital scrapping it's a good idea to start off with free kits while you're getting the hang of things.

Have you tried out the skect or template yet? Let us know!
