SUNDAY SKETCH with Marsha

Hey, CTK friends! It's Marsha here today, and I'm sharing a layout for Sunday Sketch. The sketch I'm working with today is so fun- one of my favorites ever! 

Here's a look at the sketch:

This sketch is in an 8.5x11 format, but it was easy to convert it to a Life Crafted spread by separating the design down the center of the page and rotating it ninety degrees. 


Here's my layout:

This month's Gratitude and Change is Beautiful digitals were perfect for this spread, documenting a photo from Thanksgiving last year. I began by printing a few digital patterned papers from the kit. I followed the sketch by trimming the papers into a layered arrow design. Next, I added machine stitching to each paper and adhered them to the page. I also printed some digital ephemera and enlarged leaves from one of the patterned papers to use as embellishments.

I followed the design by adding my title on the other page of the layout. I stamped the word "together" using the Ginger Upper Alphabet stamp and a trimmed floral piece from one of the digital cards. The edge of the page looked bare, so I added another trimmed piece of the green patterned paper I used on the opposite page. This helped to make the spread more cohesive. Then, I printed my journaling on clear matte label sticker paper, added it to the page, and stamped the date with a roller date stamp from my stash. To complete the spread, I added enamel dots to a few areas and a yellow puffy heart sticker.

I hope you are inspired to make a layout based on this week's sketch! Happy creating!
