Hey everyone! Roree here, and I have today's sketch challenge for you.
I had so much fun a couple of weeks ago with the inspiration photo that I used to create my January 12th sketch, that I decided to find another photo to use for today's sketch.
Here it is:
(image found on Pinterest)
With this inspiration photo, I created this sketch:
I loved the rows of circles, so I focused on that element. I added in the frame, title, and journaling to make it a little more scrapbook friendly.
I have been having so much fun making cards with the sketches lately, that I stuck with it for this sketch too.
Here is the card I created:
I used the Sidewalks collection to create a banner in place of the circles. I added little details like layering and stitching the banner shapes together to add more texture and dimension.
I then cut a sticker strip into three pieces and put it in place of the title and journaling.
Becky played along with my sketch this week, and here is the beautiful layout she created:
She really loved the inspiration photo and went with a more literal interpretation of it. She made it her own by adding her photo in place of the 'O' in the title. Such a fun take on the sketch, don't you think?! :)
I hope you enjoyed today's sketch. If you get a chance to play along with this week's sketch, don't forget to post it in the OA Flickr group. We love to see what you all are creating with OA products!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Since you did not have the pinterest cited back to the image here is where the actually inspiration image came from! Becky's take on it is so cute! :)

Your designs are just beautiful, but I have seen them posted on Pinterest as "free downloads". Either I'm missing the free part or someone has nabbed your great ideas and is passing them off as free. You might want to check.
