Happy February everyone!
I want to share this really FUN Sketch with you - from over at
Crystal Schneider really did a great job on this sketch!
I love all of the straight lines, and the way it just calls for lots of different pattern papers!
For my "INSPIRATION LAYOUT" for The Memory Nest's Design Team, I decided to use papers and embellishments from the Teresa Collins "Memories" Collection - ( that I got on CLEARANCE - from The Memory Nest! - LOVE THEM! ) I thought that the color combo of the papers really called for a black and white photo to be used. The photo I picked for this layout is a #Selfie of my youngest son and I from our December 2014 trip to Myrtle Beach, SC.
Here is my take on the sketch for the DT:
and here are a few close ups too!:
I added the photo using 1/2 inch Foam Dots - and created a pocket to slip a tag into, which contained hidden journaling about our trip.
After inking the edges, I cut a few of the cameras from the washi tape and used them to embellish the tag too.

| I used some of the collection's stickers and paper punch out tags, along with some cardstock and a #Selfie Stamp to create this embellishment grouping. |
 |
| I used a black Sharpie to make some straight lines - here and there on the layout, and I LOVE the camera washi tape too! |
 |
| Here you can see how those pieces of the washi tape, inked edges and 3 different fibers really add to the the look of what was once a plain journaling tag. I used the tag to tell a little overview of our "After Christmas Vacation," so that we will be able to remember it for years to come. |
