Photo Moment

This is my DT layout for the very first sketch in 2015 from My Creative Sketches (below). It's a beautiful sketch and for my layout, I used papers from Simple Stories' Generations collection.

I distressed and layered the papers and photo, and also propped up the alphas for the layout's title.

I combined the Prima flowers with some hand-cut flowers, which I had embellished with distress stickles applied to the centres.

And I hand-stitched the Hambly overlay to the photo, and the background paper to the cardstock.

I also created a little pocket behind the photo for the tag, so I could include some hidden journaling in the layout.

Hangin'

I chose the Villa paper from BoBunny's Timepiece collection as the background paper, to match the brick walls in the photos, and used the Shutter Speed paper from Graphic 45's Communique collection to match the window shutters in the Villa paper. :)

Journey Back In Time

Here's my DT layout for My Creative Sketches' October Sketch - another lovely one by Liz Chidester.

The photo in the layout was taken during our visit to Sovereign Hill, Ballarat last December, "Australia’s foremost outdoor museum which re-creates the first ten years after the discovery of gold in 1851, when thousands of international adventurers rushed to the Australian goldfields in search of fortune". It was literally like stepping back in time, hence the title of the layout, and the 'clocks' theme.

I also distressed the papers and used embellishments that help to give the layout an "old world" feel.

Here are some close-ups.

Remember

I created this layout using papers from Prima's Time Traveler's Memories collection, with embellishments from Prima, Tim Holtz Idea-ology, and KaiserCraft.

I wanted to create a very 3-dimensional layout, with lots of layering, so I added strips of corrugated cardboard, and used 3D foam dots for a pop-up effect.

I also added wood and metal embellishments as well as some laces, and distressed the paper edges for added textures.
