Heaven's Sketch 6/13 Challenge Response

The following layout is a response to the Heaven's Sketch 6/13 over at the Scrapbook Heaven blog.

The layout will be about my bestfriend and me sitting outside enjoying the one day of sunshine we had this year haha. I don't have the photo developed yet so I put in a piece of white cardstock as a placeholder.

With the weather as it is (59°F / 15°C) and alot of rain I am in the mood to scrap alot of bright colors. The Basic Greay - Picadilly collection is perfect for this.

As I don't have any 12x12 paper for this collection anymore, I needed to come up with a solution to get a 12x12 layout. The white stripes are leftover scraps with a white distressed pattern. All the other papers used are from 6x6 papers.

I embellished the page with chipboard pieces from the colleciton as well as some overlays, dimentional stickers and rub-ons.

Kathryn Scraps - Layout Week - Day 2 Challenge

Here is the second challenge from Kathryn's Layout Week over at The Scrapbeach. The following picture shows the sketch:

The layout is about a trip we took to Rothenburg ob der Tauber in south Germany in 2011. I altered the sketch slightly:

I used the Basic Grey - Picadilly Paper Collection. To embellish the page I used the die-cut shapes, fabric stickers, chipboard stickers and journaling cards from the collection. The papers and diecuts are all inked with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I used the colors of the background papers in each quarter of the page to tie them together.
