Sunday Sketch With Evelyn PY

It's me Evelyn back with Sunday Sketch. This is the sketch that you can play with

 This is how I play with the sketch. This is my final layout according to the sketch

I did change some in my final layout and that is okay you can do it to! Doesn't have to stick to the sketch 100% but you still have choice to make something lil bit different but still look the same with the plan.

I still use two photos even they are not square. To make my layout have some movement I tilt one of the photo. I created A4 layout so this 12x12 sketch still can be use on my layout. Instead of using big tittle at the top area, I use small chipboard the red circle one as my small tittle and move the big tittle after the photo using thickers. Again for the movement I tilt the pattern photo after the vintage paper.

Here are the details of my layout:

To play along with this week's sketch challenge, create a layout inspired by the sketch, upload it to the CTK Gallery with today's date (10/30) in the title, and you will be eligible to win a $5 gift certificate to the CTK Store!

Tutorial: DIY Travel Notebook Insert by Evelynpy

I do love memory keeping so much,plus I love the new format in travel notebook. Perfect to do memory keeping in fast way. So this time I wanna share how to create Travel Notebook Insert using Dear Lizzy paper that you can find it in August Main Kit. It's so easy and can make your travel notebook so pretty. Let's start:

Step by Step:

1. Choose your fav pattern paper that you will use for the cover of your notebook. This time I choose this floral pattern paper because I do love the both side. I take my old notebook to measure it so the new cover will have the same size.
2. After that I use ruler and scoring knife to mark the paper so later on I can fold it and cut.
3. Fold the paper according to the mark.
4. Use your scoring knife to fold it so the result will looks great and cant damage the paper.
5. Again I use the old travel notebook to make sure the new one have the same size. 
6. I use the scoring knife to give another mark for the right side of the cover insert.
7. I cut the rest extra paper that I will not use.
8. Put the white paper of the notebook together with the cover insert.
9. Stick it together and fold it again so you will have exact size of the cover with the white papers.
10. Decorate the cover with some stickers. Make it pretty!!! It's ready to use!

After I have a new insert for my travel notebook, I decorate it using some stickers from Crate Paper. You can find it in August Add On Kit.

Here is the look of the inside, you can put some photos, stickers or another embellishment and do memory keeping on the go.

Have a try and good luck! *wink* Love Evelyn

This is how I created my scrapbook layout about my son using the sketch!

 

I just scrap lift the sketch and lil bit do some improvement to make my layout looking so pretty and  so me. I didn't use the same size of the papers just like in the sketch but I prefer to use different sizes of papers, vellum and ephemeras around my main photo.

 

 I created the pastels layout event I have vibrant photo of my son. The gold vellum make the photo and also the embellishment around it blending together.

 

I use those yellow alpha sticker to create the tittle, and also love to do some stamping in this layout instead of using my handwriting to tell the story.

Sunday Sketch with Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf

Finally after long time I can share my layout here in Sunday Sketch. How is your Thanksgiving everyone? I hope all ofyou enjoy your Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving from me and my family! Ok to help you find your creative mojo, this is the sketch for your Sunday!



This is how I make the sketch into the real one. I do copy paste the sketch but with lil bit different details this time! I use big photo, I print it out 6x8 inch and do some layering around the photo.Instead of put my tittle in the top, I choose to paste the thickers in the bottom area close to the photo! I love this sketch so so much! Using big photo can help you to do fast scrap but still have some layers and some cuty embellishment in the page.

Here the close up looks of my layout that I created using November Main and Sprinkles Kit.

Edit The Photo Like A Pro Using VSCOCAM - Photo Inspiration

Since I become wedding photographer I rarely use my DSLR to capture my daily life. Not easy to grab the camera and click, sometimes I lost the moment because so busy to take the camera, setting and press click. Iphone always be my fav to capture my daily life. I don’t need to setting anything and just press click button and tada …they are some photos already in your camera gallery. Plus you don't need to transfer your photo to computer and edit it using photoshop or lightroom. Iphone has so many editing apps that you can use and yes they are easy to use.

Today I wanna share about how to edit your photo from Iphone or Android using my fav apps called: VSCOCAM. Yes I always use this app to give some photo color (tone) of my photo using Iphone. Because some times you end of with dark photo and less colors, so you need  to edit it before you print the photos and scrap or use it for my project life.

In this collage I use VSCOCAM to edit my photo. You can see some of my daily life photos in my Instagram: @geekgalz

So in this apps they have some magic photo tone presets to make your photo perfect than before! My fav one is HB1. All of the photos that I share here using HB1. Start from my daily life photos of me, hubby or my baby boy and some of my travelling photos in Bali &Lombok - Indonesia. I’ll give you my little secret how to edit your photo using my HB1 and my vscocam setting so hopefully will end up like mine.

I wanna share before and after I use the VSCOCAM to edit my photo. I'm not gonna explain what is exposure or shadows or temperature in this apps, because I believe some of you already know or you can visit the VSCOCAM website to learn more about it or you can google it. Because again in this post I wanna share my VSCOCAM setting so all of you can edit your cellphone photo just like my photos.

Let's start!

Photo number one.

Preset: HB1

Exposure: 0

Temperature: +1

Fade: +1

Saturation: +1

Photo number two.

Preset: HB1

Exposure: +1

Temperature: +1

Contrast: +1

Fade: +1

Saturation: +1

Shadows: +2

Photo number three.

Preset: HB1

Exposure: +1

Temperature: +1

Contrast: +1

Fade: +1

Saturation: +2

Shadows: +2

My tips is you can adjust the way you edit the photo with the photo it self because every photo has different final result (color tone of the photo) even if you follow my HB1 setting. In the end its up to you to decide which setting do you want or end with.

Thank you for reading my post about how to edit your cellphone photo using VSCOCAM. See you in another photo inspiration post next time. Love Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf.

 

Fast Scrap Tutorial With Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf

Hey everyone, today I’m going to share how to do fast scrap using CTK Main Kit (Creative Space) and Autumn Embellishment Kit. I gather my supply and I add Acrylic Dabber Aqua Color. Because I really wanna play with acrylic paint which very popular these day but wanna use it in simple way.

First of all I use my brush and draw circle in white card stock. I draw two circles; the big one and the small one right in the middle of the page. I just do it without over think. I didn’t use water because I want to pop up the texture of the acrylic it self.

Yes I hate to wait until the Acrylic dry but trust me it doesn’t take any longer than you think. The next step is I decorate the photo. Do layering put some buttons and wood veneers randomly. 

 

The last step is using the CTK clear stamp that you will find it in the kit. I mix 3 type of the fonts of the stamp as a mini tittle.

Enjoy the final result and have fun to try it at home! See you in another post love Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf
