Creek Magic | Paper Issues 30 Days of Sketches - Day 18

I'm probably not going to finish all 30 sketches by the end of May, but I'm sure gonna try! Here's my layout for sketch 18. I could NOT get a good picture of this layout, even though I tried scads of times. I eventually gave up, knowing that in real life, it's really pretty, and my friend is going to love it.

Here's the sketch. I had a heck of a time with this sketch, and I almost skipped it, but I saw Devra Hunt's awesome page, where she tweaked the sketch, and I loosely used hers as inspiration.

Here are some details shots. I used Crate Paper's Magical Forest, which seemed perfect for these photos. How fun and whimsical are those rainbows in this collection?

I know that tree doesn't fit in with the sketch, but it just seemed right for these photos. For my title, I used some old Heidi Swapp chipboard letters (they're still a classic to me) and some old American Crafts Remarks letter stickers.

 I found some old K&Co. word stickers that matched the palette.

I hope you'll come join our challenge. There's still plenty of pieces from the Magical Forest collection in the shop.  Please use my code Debbi (no e on the end) and you'll get 20% off of everything in the store, every single day!

Well, Hello There. | Paper Issues 30 Days of Sketches - Day 11

I'm sure you've heard by now that Paper Issues is trying to keep up our spirits during this COVID-19 quarantine by giving us 30 sketches for 30 days. I'm on a mission to do them all! Here's my layout for Day 11:

Here is the sketch for this challenge:

Here are some details. I used the rainbow from Paper Issues' Happy Sunny Days FREE cut file to replace the green rectangle in the sketch. That meant I needed to move the other parts over to the right so I wouldn't cover up the rainbow. Hence my page doesn't look very much like the sketch, but I promise it was my starting point. Isn't this the sweetest photo ever? I thought the colors called for Crate Paper's Magical Forest collection.

There wasn't a title on the sketch, so I added one to the top left corner of my page. That large expanse of woodgrain paper was looking mighty plain, so I added some hearts using texture paste and an Echo Park stencil.

I just can't stop saying how darling this picture is of my friend's daughter meeting their newest goat. I had to add that "Oh My Darling" sticker and a cute little girl and a lovely pink bow.

I hope you'll come join our challenge. If you like the Magical Forest collection, there are lots of elements still in the Paper Issues store. Please use my code Debbi (no e on the end) and you'll get 20% off of everything in the store, every single day!
