Get Picky's January Sketch Challenge! :)

Hello! Get Picky has just revealed their very first sketch challenge of the new year.

Here is my example layout...


It's called "You Put the Bounce in my Day".

Here is the sketch...


I've actually followed this very closely, except I used two larger photos instead of three medium ones.

For the large circle in the background, I used a dinner plate as a template on the cardstock and drew around it lightly with a pencil. Then after I had finished scrapping my layout I added buttons along the centre of the pencil line. It was fun and it really went well with my theme of bouncing around!

Here's a couple of closie shots...


I've used black paint pen to outline my patterned paper strips. I really love the "pop" factor of this Purple Pumpkin Spotty Dotty button. Red and white is one of my fave combinations... for these kind of buttons and lots of other stuff too! I've also used some PP tickets on there too. Just two actually, but when cut in half and kinda tucked away... voila! They then appear to be four! :)


I've used lace on this layout (shock!) which is unusual for me, but I thought they'd serve as nice clouds and it looked pretty cool in a bow with some ribbon bow buddies. :D

This month's sponsor at Get Picky is Scrapbookit who are offering a voucher for our sketch challenge winner.



To be in the running to win all you need to do is upload and link your multi-photo layouts by midnight (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on January 28th on Get Picky's blog! The lucky winner will be announced on January 29th. Good luck!!

TFL!
