Happy Tuesday! It's Jill here, with this week's sketch, which takes the guesswork out of deciding where to place the items on a layout. Just round 'em up -- arrange them in a circle, stitch over and around them, place the title and some journaling in the middle, and you're done! My own layout incorporates a series of labels, on which I added my journaling -- a list of my daughter's pet peeves. She and I had some fun coming up with this list together. After printing the journaling, I arranged the labels in a circle over a piece of Postcard patterned paper from the new Travel Girl line and stitched over them.
The labels are from the Sugar Shack and Licorice label sticker sheets. I get a kick out of how the abbreviation "No." on a few of the stickers actually comes to mean "no" here, placed amidst a list of the things that get on my daughter's nerves. I also love how the "This Way" Travel Girl tin pin starts to answer the question posed in the journaling just under the title.
The die-cut title is taken from an expression my daughter uses often. I like the visual pop of the bright yellow (from a piece of Daily Flash Snapshots Focus paper) against the aqua background.
I also had a chance to use the new Daily Flash Catch-Phrase "Inspiration" and "Travel" stamps here, repeatedly stamping a few "catch-phrases" among the labels.
I'd love to see how you make this sketch your own. Be sure to share your layout in the October Afternoon Flickr gallery. Happy scrapping!
