March *Stick it down challenge blog*

Hello friends. Today is the team reveal at Stick it down challenge blog. This month's double page spread sketch is this...

and here's my take on it...

I love double page sketches and the ability to add plenty of photos to my scrapbook page. This one was no exception. I tweaked the design a little bit because I had a few small photos to use but over all the design is pretty similar to the inspiration. 

I used some papers from the Memorandum link of Pink Paislee and some embellishments from Basic Grey. I also used some gold doilies that I got at Michael's during their Christmas clearance sale. 

The photos that I used are from 2012 at my son's 2nd grade party. I can't believe how long ago that was considering he is now in 7th grade. Anyone else working on photos from 5 years ago and older?

I used two different stickers for my title and love combining both script and serif fonts. The green letters were fairly old so I machine stitched it to ensure that it doesn't fall of my page later on.

I layered two 3x4 cards on here and used one to handwrite my journaling.

One of the papers had a bunch of clipboard images on it and I fuzzy cut them then arranged the on my layout adding my photos over them except for this one that was a fitting caption for my page.

Thank you for stopping by. Make sure you check out the rest of the team's pages here.

Till next time,
Grace

February *Stick it down challenge blog*

Hello friends. Today I'm sharing my February take on the Stick it Down two page spread sketch challenge. Here's the sketch inspiration....

And here's my take on it....

I liked the photo placement and also the layering in the back but I had these smaller photos from a bike ride that my family and I did in 2013 that needed to be scrapped. I still did the layering on the back of the image clusters but moved my title on the bottom (smaller) cluster and added my journaling on the top right side of the page. I used some frames, cut out from paper for my embellishments and also my title holder. 

Here are some more close ups...

Thank you for stopping by and make sure you check out the rest of the team's inspirations at the blog today.

Till next time,

"Pioneer Museum" layout *Stick it down challenge blog*

Hello dear friends. Today I'm sharing my first blog post as an official member of the Stick It down challenge team. I love their double page spread sketches and so when the opportunity came to me, I couldn't pass it up. 

Here's the sketch for this month....

and here's my take on it...

I love it when my themed papers can match some of my "event" pictures. These are photos from when I took my family to a local history museum.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you join us this month at Stick it down challenge blog.

Till next time,
Grace
