I tore my scrap papers and glued them on my page in four columns. Then I added a bit of white paint over them. This kinda dulled it, and when I went to add elements to make page later, it just made them pop even more. :)
I did this layout for The ScrapCake's blog. Flo and I both created layouts based on this sketch, created by myself:
To check out Flo's AWESOME layout, go here.
And here are close up's of my own layout:
I used the beautiful My Private Happiness collection from The ScrapCake for most of my layout, but there are bits and pieces from Summer At The Seaside thrown in there too.
Sooo...we'd love to see what you do with this sketch! Leave a link here so I can check it out OR use papers from The ScrapCake and leave a link on this post here. :)
Thanks so much for stopping in!!!!
Have a wonderful day!
