September Sketch: 8.5 x 11

Your final sketch of September....

Berries
by Zoe

I love Zoe's warm and beautiful layout! I love she has taken the circle element and then repeated it again at the bottom of her photos. She's written her journaling on one of our sponsor, Creative Chaos' journaling jotters and she's also added a love note on one their tags just below her bottom photo. Fabulous page Zoe!

Merry Memories
by Nicole

Nicole has taken the sketch and stretched it to fit a 12x12 page. She's also taken the bottom photo and made it into three individual photos. Clever! I love the large snowflake that she used as her circle element too! Super cute page Nicole!

September Sketch: 12x12

I always love a square matted page and here's a fun one....

Help From My Friends
by Frances

I love that Frances has almost taken all the elements of the sketch and enlarged them! I love the enlarged circle peeking underneath her single large photo. Frances also used a large journaling jotter from Creative Chaos, our sponsor this month. An adorable page Frances!

His Head is in the Clouds
by Aphra

For Aphra's page she has decided to leave out the large square in her design and focus tighter on her 2 photos. She also combined the 2 smaller photos from the sketch into one larger photo. Aphra is sporting one of our sponsor's tags on the bottom of her layout. A wonderful page Aphra!

Such a Deer
by Zoe

For Zoe's beautiful page, she has also enlarged her focal square to ensure her 3 photos fit on her page. I love the way she has incorporated her layout title on a large tag and added those beautiful sweeping flourishes of bling. A beautiful page Zoe!

September Sketch: 8.5 x 11

A wonderful 2 photo sketch today....

3 Months
by Jenn S.

Jenn has taken this simple 8.5x11 sketch and stretched it out to create her adorable 12x12 page. I love all the little circles she has added throughout her page. She's even stitched the large circle shape into her page instead of creating another layer of paper. Super cute page Jenn!

Pink Polka Dots
by Tracy

I love the rows of similar patterned paper that Tracy used throughout her card. She even managed to incorporate a journaling jotter from our sponsor, Creative Chaos into her design today! Fabulous card Tracy!

Happy Birthday Bugs
by Tina

I love that Tina was thinking outside the box for her cute card! Look at all those cool, chipboard shapes that she used instead of circles in her design! She also has used one of our sponsor's wonderful tags to place her card's greeting on the front! Awesome card Tina!

September Sketch: card

I love stars so here's a card with a lot of sparkle...

You're a Star
by Tracy


I love Tracy's take on this sketch! She has used a subtle circle shaped stamp all across the bottom of her card in place of the multiple stars on the sketch. I love the wrapped ribbon with the focal star on the fun journaling spot. A super simple and fabulous card Tracy!

September Sketch: 8.5 x 11

A simple 8.5x11 sketch with some wallet sized photos for you today....

New Celly
by Jen B.
I just love Jen's wild layout and how she has used this sketch! Did you see that she used the journaling strip from the sketch to place a fun row of pretty skulls on? She's even incorporated some of the Creative Chaos Perfect Little Labels to put all the details about her photos. A fun and fabulous page Jen!

Art Pwoject
by Aphra

For Aphra's page, she has rotated the sketch to fit her adorable photos of her son on. I just love her title; courtesy of her adorable son of course! She even used some fun folded, stitched ribbon as part of her sketch design! A super cute page Aphra!

September Sketch: 12x12

I have wanted to use dome angular elements in some of my sketches so I thought I'd try this one out for size!

Cool Icy Treats
by Nicole

I just love this yummy (no pun intended!) layout by Nicole! Even though the sketch used some angular elements, Nicole thought it best to rotate them into a more linear fashion... I mean, that's what using a sketch is all about... making it your own! Nicole has also used a few of Creative Chaos' Perfect Little Labels to write her journaling on. Fabulous page Nicole!

A fun square card sketch to inspire you today....

September
by Tina

I just love that Tina was thinking outside the box on her card for this sketch! I love that she has incorporated one of Creative Chaos' fun calendar tags and I love the cool beads she's used too! A very clever and innovative card Tina!

You Make My Heart Flutter
by Jess

Who could resist all the beautiful and bright colours Jess has used on this card! I love that she has "hung" her sentiment from the pretty strips of ribbon on her card. Gorgeous card creation Jess!

September Sketch: 12x12

A simple 2 photo sketch for you today....

Change
by Frances

For Frances' wonderful page, she took the 2 landscape oriented photos and rotated them to fit her portrait style photos. I love that cool school style font she used to match her layout's theme. A fabulous page Frances!

Keep It Real
by Jenn S.

I love that Jenn enlarged the design to incorporate her larger photos and her longer journaling. I just love that masculine feel to her page with the darker back ground and the cool patterned papers. Jenn has even used some of our sponsor's cool Sk8tor Boy Tickets in her design! Awesome layout Jenn!

Guest Designer: Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

I'd like to introduce you to this month's guest designer, Julianne McKenna-De Lumen.

Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

Julianne's blog: Jules, the Bling Princess

My name is Julianne McKenna-De Lumen (otherwise known as Jules). I live in warm and sunny Brisbane, Australia (while wishing I could be somewhere cold and snowing). I have only been scrapbooking for 3 ½ years. I have two darling daughters, Malayla and Keana, both willing subjects for my endless photos and scrapbooking. You will find that they feature in most of my layouts. Due to my love of bling, my girlfriends have nicknamed me “The Bling Princess”. You can find more about me on my blog: http://julestheblingprincess.blogspot.com/

I am a design team member for both Blossies and Aussie Pub Calls Roadmaps.

In my spare time (not that I have much of that), I go to the gym, read (love the Twilight series and most science fiction/fantasy genres), go to the movies, learn karate with my daughters and husband, and enjoy traveling (anywhere, anytime).

For me, it is a huge thrill and honour to be a guest designer for So Sketchy! So, a big thank-you for having faith in me. I hope I can inspire you to let your creativity flow.


Here's is the first sketch that Julianne had to work with:

Pose
by Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

I just adore all of the paint and pen work Jules has added to her page. She has used the sketch to a "T" but she's added a bit of her own style to it. I live the use of the paper and ribbon together for the strip down the middle of her page. A great use of the sketch!

Loved
by Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

For this page Jules has flipped the sketch and has her 3 photos on top instead and it looks fabulous! She's used a fun shaped journaling page for her story and her sweet cluster of flowers is the perfect touch to this fabulous girlie layout! Wonderful page Jules!

stay tuned later this month as Jules brings us a few more sketch creations!
