Pink Paislee and Page Maps

The Pink Paislee team has teamed up with PageMaps this month to bring you the June 2015 PageMaps!!  I was so excited when I got my sketch, I love working with Becky's sketches!


Here is the sketch Becky sent me to work with:

Here is the layout that I made based on the sketch using the fabulous Atlas collection.

I stuck pretty close to the overall theme of the sketch.  One thing I did change was using using tags in place of the three bottom photos.  Have I mentioned that I love everything about the Atlas collection?  There are so many wonderful pieces, I found it hard to choose a few and not over embellish my page.  I grouped stars from the ephemera pack along with cork star stickers to the top of the page.  I added a few drops of Heidi Swapp Navy spray mist, typed journaling and some light machine stitching.  I found the sketch was really easy and fun to work with and I just love the outcome!

Here are a few detail shots.

Make sure to stop over at the PageMaps page to see what the rest of the Design Team made, and while you're there, leave a comment for your chance to win the entire Atlas collection!

Page Maps & American Crafts

Hi everyone,

The Design Team from American Crafts teamed up with PageMaps for the month of November!  We were sent some fun Sketches from Becky, and I was really excited to get started.  I paired my Sketch with the new Stitched collection from Amy Tangerine, I just love this collection so much!  Here is what I created with the sketch she sent! 

I stayed pretty close to the sketch and added in some machine stitching, wood veneer frame and some spray mist.  I love that this layout came together fairly quickly by using the map.

Make sure that you stop by the PageMaps site, to see the full post from the design team!

Here is the layout that I made for the hop using Scrapbook Circle's August Kit Island Paradise and a fun sketch from PageMaps

When Becky Fleck from PageMaps sent me this sketch to work with I was so excited.  I loved the piechart, triangles and white space in the sketch.  Here is my take on it:

Hello Selfie Layout

 This is such a fun kit to work with, I love the rich jewel tones, exclusive cork pieces and those really fun ChicTags clips.

I used two add-ons this month along with my kit.  Some of the smaller scale paper in the piechart are from the August Add-on Bungalow.  The chipboard frame, star stickers, wood sequins and chipboard pieces are from the August Add-on Tiki Torch.

The next designer on the list is Valerie Huang, be sure to visit each team member along the hop and leave a comment on the Scrapbook Circle blog to be eligible to win this fantastic August Kit named Island Paradise

Pagemaps November

Hi everyone,

Wow, can you believe that it is already November 1st? Where does the time go?

I would like to share something fun with you today - since it is November 1st.
I was asked to be part of Becky Fleck's PageMaps for November showcasing the
new Ruby Rock-it designs Cook collection.

You can view all of the sketches and see what the Ruby Rock-it team did with
them here:
PageMaps November 2012

Here is my layout that I created for the sketch challenge.
Everyday Family Moments:

I kept the general concept of the sketch but switched out her title and sub title for a larger title and removed one of the photos so that I could use a larger 4x6 photo.
close up:

supplies: papers, florals, ephemera: Ruby rock-it Cook collection.

I must admit, I don't use sketches very often. But, I found this sketch very easy to use and I loved the outcome!
Super fun!
