First Sketch with Inspired Crafters!!


Posted by Picasa



My first completed scrapbook page for 2010. Oh how I've missed scrapping! This definitely isn't my best, but it's a start. It's so weird going from a 5x4 canvas to 8x11. Thank goodness for sketches! Of course me being, well me, I couldn't make the sketch exact. I thought I'd scale it down from 12x12 to 8-1/2x11 since I'm just getting back into it.

This one was a nice one to ease me back into the swing of things. It's from Page Maps and it was chosen by my friend Banu for our Inspired Crafters Saturday Scrapbook Challenge. A few of us started a blog so that we can have our own challenges. I'm very excited about it! Banu has done an excellent job of getting things started and organized. Thanks Banu!!

I'll be back soon with more pages.

Stamps: PTI New Leaf & Fancy Flourishes, CTMH Today's Date
Ink: PTI Aqua Mist, SU Pumpkin Pie
Paper: SU Pumpkin Pie, PTI Aqua Mist, My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow
Misc: QK Silhouette (Hero arts butterfly), Amienne font for title

  9. Wonderful!!!! Love that you journal by hand, too! I always use sketches as my starting point for pages. All that space to organize intimidates me, but if I have a pattern, I can adapt it to my photos and journaling. It's a critical starting point just to get me going.
