Sketchbook365 challenge
I've been meaning for a while to join in with the fun on the Sketchbook365 challenge blog, but lacking the focus of most normal humans, I've only just got to it now.
Usually I love a sketch challenge, but with this one, I found it more difficult to access my creative mojo - it was more like a creative dodo, as in, dead as a...
The Sketch!
So, here is the sketch the team at Sketckbook365 gave us this month ...
You agree, tricky. Cause, you don't want to just plonk down a house layout. You want to give it a personal twist. But the house image is so strong, that doing your own thing is challenging!
I guess that's why it's called a challenge then.
So, I decided to just mess about with my messy scrappy stuff and see what happen... And here is my finished layout...

Below is a pictorial account of how the page came together! (Well, except for a few steps towards the end where my phone ran out of charge and I missed some pictures... but you're creative people, you can imagine those bits :)
The Process!
And ta da! the layout again :)
So, there we go, I've popped my sketchbook365 cherry ;) Hoped you liked it!
Wow! I have never heard of scrapbookers using Vaseline on their pages!! That's a surprise for me (but a cool technique!) - Thank you so much for visiting my blog :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout! Love the fact you used vaseline on your layout as a resist. I Havnt used that technique since last year-may have to do it again! Love the colors you used as well! Love all the inking and stamping.
