January 2020 Kit: A Sketch Layout and Beautiful Journey

Hello!

Rosie back, with a couple more kit projects featuring the latest Scrap Shotz kit: Darcelle by Prima Marketing.

This layout is based on this Creative Scrapbooker Magazine sketch:

I love a grid design so this was a fun sketch to work with. I started by choosing 5 photos from a day trip we took to Lake Louise, AB and trimmed them down to 3"x3". I then cut seven 3.5"x3.5" photo mats and matted the photos, a journal block and a journal card with a quote included in the kit.

Here's a close up of the top right side of the layout and below is a close up of the bottom right with the journal block.

I have embellished the layout with chipboard pieces from the kit along with blooms from the kit.

Here you can see the journal card with the quote "in between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.".

The black glitter Thickers in the kit were perfect for the title and I added some gems and enamel dots to embellish the title area as well.

This large floral arrangement is fussy cut from the "Everything is Figureoutable" sheet. I added the off white bloom included in the kit. I love how this wintery layout came together thanks to this awesome sketch.

Next up is a project inspired by a fabulous Nathalie Desousa  layout in the Winter 2019 edition of Scrapbook and Cards Today.

I loved the angles on the inspiration layout and mimicked them here but in a vertical orientation as opposed to the horizontal orientation in the inspiration layout.

I hand cut the waves in the various kit papers and layered them over each other along the top right and mid-bottom left.

I matted the photo on patterned paper, card stock, then patterned paper again and placed it at the top right spanning the angled "borders".

I fussy cut blooms from the "Born to Make History" paper and placed them around the photo mat along with chipboard pieces and some of the kit stickers as well.

I created the title with the 'beautiful' puffy word stickers and a chipboard piece.

I've created 3 layouts so far and have five 12x12 sheets and two 12x12 sheets with only a 3.5"x3.5" square cut out of them. Lots of product for more projects so I'll be back to share those later this month.

Stay tuned to the blog as the team have LOADS of inspiration to share with you!

Happy Crafting!
