I played along with the January sketch challenge by Artful Delight. I made the layout without pictures in Singapore earlier and brought it back to Malaysia just to add the pictures. Luckily I managed to make it (i.e. print the pictures) very very last minute.
Here's the awesome sketch by one of the Delightful Designer Abby:
I didn't have a circle cutter, so I normally use the lace doilies as the circle background. And I flipped the whole sketch horizontally so it doesn't look too similar to my latest layout for Miss Popcorn.
Here's my take on following the sketch:
My bestie, Lynn was suggesting me to scrap a layout using our pictures. Those are pictures were taken in Oct 2010 during our Orientation training. The color of the layout was picked from the green / dark teal color of her floral print dress. I followed the sketch by adding the long stripes and doilies in the background and build my clusters of embellishment from there.
I kind of completed the whole layout in Singapore and added the pictures in Malaysia. I didn't have time to print the pictures as by the time I found out the Sketch Challenge it was a day before my trip back to Hometown. I could not bring my scrapbooking tools + my beloved scissors during my flight back. So i quickly finished the layout and stuff the layout in a box and hand carry it to airport. I couldn't scrap a layout without pictures so I cut two pieces of card stock in 3R sized as photo mat to gauge the placement of my embellishments.
The title says: S & L: Size doesn't matter.
S is initial for my name, Sam while L is initial for her nickname: Lynn. I am petite while she is tall and slender. But we are besties despite difference in our size. We even wore the same high heels when we first met!
I added the bunny stickers from Cosmo Cricket to my blue rosette and it added baby-ish touch to the layout. It also matches my bunny-ears pose in the picture perfectly! And I couldn't help using multicolor buttons as the embellishments.
Those Floral stickers are "Chip 'n Stick from October afternoon. And I cheated by drawing dotted line mimicking sewing stitches to frame the layout. I can't sew with sewing machine and I don't even have one. Maybe one day I would learn it from my mom >_<
Supplies used: White card stock, Chip 'n Stick from October Afternoon - Modern Homemaker, buttons from my stash, AC Thickers, Mini alphabets from Prima, Hambly Screen Prints - Banner, acrylic paint
