Sketchy Thursday

good morning everyone.  danni here with this week's sketch.  today i decided to switch it up a little and create a lo sketch but it could easily translate into a card sketch or mini album sketch. 

 

 

with all the cute banners in the Farmhouse and Sidewalks lines, fun chipboard stickers, Miscellany packs and Little Flyers, i wanted to create a sketch that would include a banner as one of the focals.

 

 

here's the sketch   

 

 

 

 

 

 joining me today is marcy who created this amazing lo.  i love her splatters, her notebook, her titlework, her banner, it's all...well, "rad"

here's what marcy had to say about the sketch creating process

 

"I made a few tweaks to the sketch. I kept the little notebook element in the middle, moved the title down and extended the banner. In my little notebook I included additional photo and some journaling as well as layered some labels from the Farmhouse collection. To make my banner I trimmed triangles from the patterned papers and also trimmed some of the flags in half." 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and here is my interpretation

i created my banner, cutting one of the lace banners from the Farmhouse  pp here:Clothesline, die-cut a scalloped circle which i folded in half and stitched onto the banner, cut an additional block banner from the same sheet of pp, layered on top of the lace banner, layered with some buttons and tin pins and even a paper strip from one of the pp titles.

 

 

 

 i decided to move my title down so as to allow the butterfly to remain the focal on the left side.

 

 

 
 

    the layered notebook element inspired me to layer my picture several times and create a layered large butterfly focal. to create the butterfly, i printed the large butterfly image on the backside of my pp, decreased it in size, printed it on the backside of additional pp. i then layered the butterflies and stitched them together.

 

 

 love all the chipboard pieces in the Miscellany packs, they are so much fun to create with and layer

 

 

 

we hope you enjoyed today's sketch. if you can play along with us this week, please share how this sketch inspired you in our OA Flickr group.

happy creating♥

Great sketch. Just finished my layout. I LOVE layered layouts, flat layouts bore me. Mine fit perfectly in my album, I just don't put that many in each one. And why should a DT change THEIR style, just because some people don't like layers, then they have the flat sketch to look at. They can choose to not look at the inspiration.

[Shellye McDaniel]

Great sketch, Danni! I will surely try to play along :) Thanks for the inspiration!

[Lisa Moen]

Love both of these fantastic pages!

[danni]

thank you very much for your thoughts Laurel, when designing challenges, it is something to take into consideration for those who do not wish to have 3-d items on their pages.

[Danielle]

Great sketch, Danni. Will try to find some time to play along.

[Cassandra]

Love all your layers and details on these layouts ladies! Great sketch Danni!:)

[Lilith]

These are amazing!!!!

[Laura S]

Very pretty layouts, but I do wish your DT would greater take into consideration the fact that pages are stored inside page protectors: once all these 3D elements (like the multi layered hearts from yesterday, then the things featured today) get compressed, they lose the effect. They also seriously bulk up pages so much that you can't close an album.

Also, Marcy with the same black ink spots... We love you, but enough already! ;-)

[Zarah]

My oh my!! SUCH a fun sketch and those LO's? WOW! Swooooonworthy!

[~amy~]

Lovin' both layouts!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
