“Timeless Beauty” Layout By Melissa Kennedy

“#1 October Sketch”

Here is some inspiration for this months sketch from Toni Crane and Michelle Frisby from our Contributing Design Team…

“Simply You” Layout by Michelle Frisby

Materials Used:
P736 Paris, P738 Provence, F658 mini paper blooms dusty pink, F644 mini paper blooms coconut, PP853 paper pad, SS114 alphas sticker sheet, FL337 wood flourishes – iron gate, PL509 chocolate flourish, MA506 mini alphas latte
Other: muslin, pearls, feathers, embroidery thread and punches

Michelle says:
“The absolutely stunning Bonjour collection from Kaisercraft makes creating so easy.  Add in a few blooms, a few embellishments, a little sewing and voila!  Happy creating everyone”.

“Horror Story” Layout by Toni Crane

Materials Used:

Kaisercraft 13th Hour Evening (P732), Afternoon (P733), 13th Hour Acetate Shapes (EM965), 13th Hour Sticker Sheet (SS112), Wood Flourish Lamp Post (FL325), Kaisercraft Black Lace (EM929), 13th Hour Journal Tags (JT627).
Other: Cardstock, alpha Stickers, Ink, Staples

Toni says:
“I flipped the sketch and replaced the smaller photo with a journalling block and used a larger main photo. Rather than using a banner, I used one of the acetate shapes. I usually look at a sketch, and interpret the shapes as the base for my layout.
My youngest son is currently collecting and reading the Goosebumps books, and the 13th Hour papers matched them perfectly.”
