there's a new sketch over at scrapbook challenges and the girls did a really awesome job of this one. over scrapbook challenges Brynn (the owner) gives us the opportunity to design some sketches for the site that becomes branded with the awesome new look to match the site. well this week's sketch was designed by me - a plain and simple one but so versatile when you look at the samples the girls made. so why not hop on over and show us what you will do with the sketch. here's what i did with my layout using some old and pretty ordinary photos...
the new paper lines from Prima were absolutely perfect for these photos and i love how it turned out. a couple of simple embellishments and tada - one more layout done.

a used the barcode strips at the bottom of the paper and punched a few dots from it. these where scattered randomly around the layout for some extra texture.

in the top and bottom corners i added some more texture using silver acrylic paint dabber. i added a piece of sticky magic mesh and inking right through it using the paint dabber. it makes for a simple yet effective texture and pattern.

hope you have a wonderful week ahead. i have a busy week ahead filled with scrapping, card making, furniture painting and so much more. so much to be thankful for.
