SUNDAY SKETCH WITH VANESSA TACONELLI

 

Hello CTK friends!

It's Vanessa Taconelli here. I am so excited to be here with you for today's Sunday Sketch. Here's the beautiful sketch that I worked with to create my design.

And this is what I created:

I used the sketch as inspiration to create a 6x8 layout on my notebook. The mix & match with the digital collections Routines and 2023 Travelogue was perfect for this moment. The colors are so beautiful. I am so crazy about the layers and clusters and you ? Love all the layers and blends.

I hope this inspires you to use the sketch for a project of your own. Cannot wait to see what you create with the sketch.

3- TO - INSPIRE with Nathalie

 

Hello there!

It's Nathalie here with this week's 3-to-Inspire challenge.   This is always a fun challenge as it provides a starting point for your projects.  Let's take a look at the 3 prompts:

1. Use Numbers
2. Color block your project
3. Add some florals

Here is what I have created with the prompts and this month's ROUTINES digital collection for my 6x8 Flamingo Life Crafted album.

Don't you just love all the color in this month's digital collection.  I think is perfect for all sorts of documenting .  Let's take a closer look at how I used the prompts

First I pulled the large numbers from the Routines Journaling Ephemera to create the base for this page.   These numbers are a great way to bring action to the page as well as help with journaling the story in a point form.

I looked through the Routines Ephemera for florals and leaves that matched the colors of the numbers.  Though I love flowers for my projects, I decided to keep it them to just a few so that they will not overtake the numbers or the page.

Finally, I fussy cut a few "notes" from the  Routines Digital Patterned paper to match the colors of the numbers and florals.  I attached them to the page, and made sure to group similar tone/color pieces within the same area. Color blocking helps to pull this page all together.

A few extra exclusive elements complete the color blocking of the page.  I love how this all turned out.   I hope that this inspires you to check the new Routines Digital Collection and this week's prompts for your next project~

XO!!

3-to-INSPIRE with Nathalie

 

Hello there!

Nathalie with you today with this week's 3-to-Inspire challenge.  And this week's prompts are sure to get you ready to create your own projects.  Here are this week's prompts:

1. Use Multiple Photos
2. Add some circles
3. Get creative with your title

Here is what I created using these prompts and the beautiful ROUTINES Digital Collection.

I went for  clean and simple for this spread using a few of the ROUTINES cut apart digital elements, digital patterned paper, and digital journaling ephemera.

I created a film strip using three pictures from one of my live sessions ( and coffee is always a must!).  I wanted them to remain attached so that I could easily attach them to the title in a clean way.

I used a brad to connect each picture to the center of the page with string.   I used circles from the cut apart elements sheet to add interest to each of the photos.

I used more of the circle elements from the digital ephemera and cut apart elements to continue the circle motif of the page on the journal part of the spread.

 I am using pieces from the Routines Digital Ephemera and Digital Journaling ephemera to create my title.   First, I am using two different sizes of the laptop icon.  The first lays flat on the page, and the strings were attached to the center of the laptop.  Then, I used the smaller laptop to cover the strings; here I added one of the title phrases and a few more circles.   Then to finish the look of the title, I stamped a few extra sentiments using the CHERISH Stamp set.

I added a few enamel dots to continue the circle look of the page, and done!   I love how this turned out! This layout came together in a flash, and I love the simplicity of the page.  Remember to check the new ROUTINES Digital Collection, you are going to love all that you can create with it!1
