Go Speed Racer

I love how Aphra has used the large arrow and incorporated it into her theme; racing! I think it's awesome that she took the strip of paper along the arrow and designed it in to a string of checkered flags! How clever! A super fun and creative layout Aphra!

A fun, multiple photo sketch for you!

Mama's Baby
by Jen B.

I love the way Jen has taken the large rectangle and used a large label shape instead for the base of her photos. She's also used the Katie Cupcake stamp from our sponsor's, the Little Paper Shop on her page today! Wonderful page Jen!

Family Staycation
by Frances

For Frances' cute page, I love she has created a little scene with her cute little tree images just above her title. To incorporate all of her images, she broke the large photo space down into 4 smaller photos from the sketch. Super cute page Frances!

August Sketch: 8.5x11

A graphic kind of feel to today's sketch...

Fresh & Clean
by Nicole

For this sweet page by Nicole, I like that she took the scalloped circle and and made it her own by using a scalloped edge on her rectangle instead. I love that she took the lower photograph and split into two smaller photos. Gorgeous page Nicole!

August Sketch: card

Here's a fun sunny card for this August summer day...

Thinking of You
by Tracy

For Tracy's card, she has used her Angelic Jena stamp from our August sponsor, the Little Paper Shop today. I love that her card is simple; one layer, one simple stamp, a pretty ribbon and some wonderful colouring. A sweet card indeed Tracy!

August Sketch: 12x12

A sketch with lots of space to journal today...

Game Boys
by Jenn S.

For Jenn's page, she has first off taken the lower photo and divided into two separate photos to ensure she has all the photos to tell her layout's story. She's used a multitude of fun tags to place all of her journaling on. What a great masculine and fun page Jenn!

Sitting Pretty
by Frances

For Frances' page, she has minimized the sketch to fit only a portion of her page to allow for lots of white space. She's taken the 2 photos from the sketch and sized it to fit only one key photo. She's also used some cool buttons and trims to make up the strip elements above and belwo her photo. An adorable page Frances!

Birthday Present 2009
by Zoe

For Zoe's page, she has used one of our sponsor's cute little stamps, Katie Cupcake from the Little Paper Shop. She's even coloured the image's dress the same colour as her daughter's dress! I love that she has used a different edge instead of the scallop along the edge of her page. What great colours too! Fabulous layout Zoe!

August Sketch: 12x12

A fun sketch with a few straight lines and a few circles today...

Woof!
by Jen B.

For Jen's page, I love that she's taken the large circle shape and made her own by using a large label shaped paper. I love all the bold and fun prints she's used to frame up her adorable pictures of her son. Did you see the two doggies in the corner making up the small circle from the sketch? How cute is that! Super adorable page Jen!

August Sketch: card

Here's a fun card sketch for you today....

Starry Angel
by Tracy

For Tracy's card, she used her sweet little Angelic Jena stamp from the Little Paper Shop, our sponsor this month. I love that she took the hearts from the sketch and made them stars to accompany her moon image! Super cute card Tracy!

Cupcake Wishes
by Jess

For this card Jess also used another stamp from our sponsor, the Little Paper Shop; Cupcake Katie. I love the strung up hearts along side her image. I just love that she finished the inside of her card is decorated too! Super cute card Jess!

With Understanding
by Tina

I love that Tina was thinking out side of the box for her card. She used the vines from some of her flowers to link them as if they were hanging from her card. Super clever Tina! Wonderful card!

August Sketch: 12x24

Sorry for a weird post today... we had family from out of province visiting the last few days.

Here's a fun and simple 2 page sketch for you today....

All Aboard
by Aphra

I just love the way that Aphra has used the row of mini squares from the sketch... it worked perfectly to create her little choo-choo train element! I think her white on black journaling is quite striking and her pictures are just adorable! A fabulous use of the sketch Aphra!

August Sketch: 12x12

Another simple, linear sketch for you this month...

Pink Face
by Jenn S.

For this sketch Jenn has thought completely about photographs, as she has taken the negative space in the sketch and filled it up with 3 additional photos. Love this idea! Especially when you have more photos to tell your story than just one. She's taken the single line of stitching and also added an additional line at the base of the page. A wonderful page Jenn!

August Sketch: card

A fun card sketch today with some mini square elements...

Best Friends
by Tina

For Tina's card she has used the cute stamp set from this month's sponsor, the Little Paper Shop. I love that she created a little tag to put her image on with a pretty bow on the top. Did you notice that she used some vintage buttons for her small squares in the sketch? Very clever! Adorable card Tina!

August Sketch: 12x12

Here's a very linear and simple one photo sketch for you today!

Almost 7
by Nicole

I just love the overall masculine feel of Nicole's layout! I love all the little touches she has added to her page; mini stars, fun buttons and all that fun patterned paper! I love that she's also used a die cut paper shape as her base paper too! Stunning page Nicole!

2 Peas in a Pod
by Zoe

For Zoe's page, I love that she has enlarged the design space to fit her larger format photo. I love the added drops of half clear circles to look like dew drops among her flowers! Such a cute page Zoe!
