Hey everyone! So “Sketchy Thursday” is actually “Sketchy Friday” for this week as we wanted to share our new mid-release collection With Love yesterday. If you haven’t seen the new collection be sure to visit this blog post and and leave a comment for your chance to win! For today’s edition of “Sketchy Thursday” I asked some of our design team members to create a project based on this fabulous sketch by Becky Fleck.
Design team member Sarah Webb stayed true to the sketch and was able to complete her layout in no time at all. Here’s what Sarah had to say … “I love sketches. Sketches are a great source of inspiration and are a great way to get a page started! Using the sketch and choosing one line (Floral Lane) made this one of the quickest layouts I have ever created!”

Design team member Stephanie Baxter changed the sketch quite a bit to accommodate her lengthy journaling. Here’s what Stephanie had to say … “I always find it really interesting to see how people use sketches for their scrapbooking layouts. I usually stick quite closely to sketches that I use but for today’s assignment I decided to challenge myself and try and use the sketch in a looser way as a basis for my page. I kept the main elements that I particularly loved about the sketch (patterned paper background, three embellishments placed in a visual triangle, cardstock block with scalloped patterned paper border and stitching down the left side) and then changed a few things that I thought would work more with the look I was going for on my page. I altered it to 8.5×11, moved the title from the top to the bottom of the page, used only one photo and used spray mist to draw focus to the photo instead of having patterned paper block like the sketch shows. Although my page ended up being fairly different from the original sketch, I’m happy with the way it turned out. And I just can’t get enough of Fresh Goods for my pages either!”

Design team member Mandie Pierce created this adorable layout about her family’s Sunday dinner by changing only a few elements of the sketch. Here’s what Mandie had to say … “I stuck closely to the sketch. I swapped out the smaller photos for 4″x4″ photos taken with the Instagram app on my phone and took out one of the embellishment blocks. With the larger photos, it was a little too crowded. I used Fresh Goods again. I couldn’t help myself! The colors and patterns just seemed to lend itself to the theme of the layout. 🙂 I think the denim cardstock from American Crafts is one of my new favorite colors and co-ordinates perfectly with Fresh Goods!”
