June Sponsor Sketch - Ormolu

For the month of June, we had our amazing sponsor Ormolu provide all the So Sketchy! Sista's with some of their beautiful products to use. Since the girls didn't get them soon enough to share their creations last month, we're going to share some of them today!

June Sketch: 12x12

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

Painting Fun
by Jana P.


This fun page by Jana P. also illustrates that you can get your kids involved in your art too! I love the fun zig zags of faux paint strokes with her journaling on them. Great use of the sketch Jana!

June Sketch: 12x12

Here's a fun sketch with some symmetry to it!

Generation to Generation
by Jana

Jana has expanded the photo area to include 4 photos on her page. I love that she's taken the strip of paper down the center of the sketch and used to point out her title with an arrow. A great page Jana!

June Sketch: 8.5x11

Here's another sketch that I loved since I love to use wallet photos a lot to scrap!

Our Blessing
by Jana P.

Jana started off by rotating the sketch. She also used the circle aspect of the sketch and changed it up a bit to create her pearl dotted heart shape. I love that she including so many of her amazing ultrasound photos on just one page. Stunning page Jana!

ma shoon ga!
by Abbie

Abbie took one row of the triple wallet photos and replaced it with her torn piece of kraft cardstock from the original sketch. I love that she's taken the large circle from the sketch and used more mini circles throughout her page to unify her design. Fabulous page Abbie!

The Guys * The Girls
by Tonya

Tonya has altered the sketch a bit to fit two larger photos instead of the two strips of mini photos. I love that's also broken up her title across her page and added such wonderful photos of her family. Stunning page Tonya!

May Sketch: Circle Page

I love circle pages so here's a sketch for one!


Awaiting Addison
by Nicole

For this stunning page Nicole has used the cluster of circle elements and played them up on her super girlie page about waiting for the birth of her daughter. I love all the different layers and the scalloped edge she has around her large circle element of her page. Gorgeous page Nicole!

Spartans
by Jana P.


I love that Jana has also used the large circle element as inspiration on her page... a basketball.. too cool! She's even used the cluster of circles from the sketch to include some more photos to tell her story on her page. Awesome page Jana!

May Sketch: 12x12

Here is a sketch with a super flourish on it!

Egg Artist
by Jana P.

For this creative page, Jana has used some of daughter's art as part of her page. I love she's included something special! Jana also used a few more photos on her page to ensure she told the story of her Easter decorating. Super cute page Jana!

May Sketch: 12x12

Here's a fun 2 photo sketch for you today....

Spring Cleaning
by Jana

Isn't Jana's page adorable! I love all the stitching she's used! She's taken the oval in the center of the page and made it into a rectangle so she could fit all of her title on her page. Super cute page Jana!

Just a reminder.....

Tomorrow is the last day to submit a card, page or an application for one of the two guest designer positions for May. Good luck!

April Sketch: Circle Page

A fun circle page sketch for you....

The Fridge
by Jana P.


Jana has taken the basic design from the circular sketch and applied directly to her 12x12 page. She has used all 6 places for her fabulous photos and has added a bit of whimsy using all of her ornate chipboard flourishes. To incorporate her journaling, she used a fun shaped tag as part of the sketch. Fabulous page Jana!

Have Your Cake & Eat it Too
by Abbie

For Abbie's page, she has taken the photo area of the sketch and off set it within her circular frame on her 12x12 page. She's also replaced some of the photos from the sketch design to help make room for her fun title. Gorgeous page Abbie!

Abbie has used a few of Creative Chaos' fun labels in her design. She's used one to journal on and the other, an arrow label, she's used to draw your eye to her smaller photos.

April Sketch: 8.5x11

Here's a simple 2 photo sketch for you 8.5x11 page lovers...

Ivy Ruth
by Tonya

For her page, Tonya flipped the sketch and used the double photo space for her focal photo. She also created a mat to ground her main focus on her 12x12 page. I just love all the frilly, girlie goodness of this sweet page! Gorgeous page Tonya!

Little Diva
by Cherie

I love how Cherie has taken the circle from the sketch and used the flower shape instead... it just goes too well with her niece's cute photos! Cherie's taken the strip of patterned paper and scallop and spread it across her layout to take your eye in and out of her page. Super cute page Cherie!

{first}
by Jana P.

Jana has taken the entire 8.5x11 sketch and miniaturized it and plunked it down off center on her 8.5x11 page. She also taken the strip of patterned paper and the scalloped detail right across her center point. Fabulous and fun page Jana!

Jana has used one of the Creative Chaos journaling dots for her journaling and also one of the kraft tags to document her photo details on. Love that scalloped edge to match the scalloped details on her page.

March Sketch: 12 x 12

A rather "round" sketch for you today....

Ride Around the Block
by Jana P.

Jana has used all the multiple circles on the sketch to load her page full of sweet photos of her kids! She's taken the space left for her title and used it for her space for journaling. Great use of the sketch Jana! Love all the photos!

Bath Buds
by Abbie

For Abbie, she minimized the amount of circles on the sketch as to not overwhelm her sweet photos. She literally taken the round shapes from the sketch and mimicked the bubbles from her photos. Super cute page Abbie!

Hunting Eggs
by Tonya

Tonya has also taken the hint from the circles in the sketch and made her page all about something "round"; eggs! Clever designers, huh? I love her use of Spring colours too! Fabulous page Tonya!

March Sketch: 12 x 12

We're showcasing another creation by Jana today using sketch #2...

Sometimes I Just Wanna Eat...
by Jana P.


I loved Jana's interpretation of this sketch! She's taken all the circles of the sketch and made her journaling her focal point. And did you see that she's tucked some photos of herself just under her journaling almost like patterned paper! How clever is she?!! Fabulous page Jana!

I also love how she's used the cupcake image from The Cutting Cafe on her page too!

Valentine's Fun
by Jana P.

Jana has taken the basic photo placement from the sketch design and made it fit her photo's shape and size. She's also taken the journaling circle and pushed it up to accommodate her larger photos. Super fun page Jana!

Notice Jana has used one the cupcake images and a few of the All Occasion Printable Word Stamps throughout her page!
