Sunset

This is my latest post for Kathy's Waffle Sketch File. I'm a new member of the design team there. Have you stopped by yet?  If not, I encourage you to do so. A new sketch goes up on the first Tuesday of the month and  new projects are added as the month progresses.The challenges are "anything goes" so the possibilities are endless. My layout is based on the November sketch.

About the Layout:
Sunsets are pretty amazing at my house but I don't always get a photo. Fortunately, I was able to snap a few photos of this one.  This was a fun layout to create. I started by cutting my photo into fourths and mounting it on black cardstock. Then I layered it on the bottom of a piece of light green cardstock.  (The green cardstock looks white in my photo. I just couldn't get a decent photo of it.)  I mounted the second photo of black cardstock and adhered it to the top of the green panel. For the background,  I chalked in some clouds on a piece of black cardstock. Next I cut the orange strip with decorative scissors, added a ribbon and strip of black cardstock and adhered the green panel and this strip to the background.  I adhered tiny circles around the edges of the green cardstock as well. For the title, I hand cut the letters and adhered them above the top photo. I added vertical strips of the orange patterned paper and a few brads to the lower right hand portion of the green cardstock and finished by adding a journaling tag and ribbon.

Exciting News!

Last week I had the most pleasant surprise. Kathy over at Kathy's Waffle Sketch File invited me to join her design team! I have eagerly accepted and feel so honored.  If you haven't visited her blog, I encourage you to do so.  A new sketch goes up on the first Tuesday of the month and  new projects are added as the month progresses. The challenges are "anything goes" so the possibilities are endless. Here is the current sketch:

Isn't it a fun sketch! I hope you will be inspired and will link up your project over at Kathy's Waffle Sketch File.   As you can see, I was inspired and created a few cards.  The sketch proved to be perfect for using up smaller scraps of papers and cardstock.
