25 days of sketches at Apron Strings

Lori has offered a sketch challenge for the month.

Day one is from Nuts About Sketches.

Here's my LO.

5 on Friday

Lori's challenge for this week was:

1 Sketch (pick one from the two below)
1 Sheet Cardstock
1 Sheet patterned paper
1 Set of brads
1 Set of Chipboard embellishments



I chose this sketch from Nuts About Sketches.



And here is my layout, with pictures from Animal Kingdom in Disney.

Five on Friday

This week's challenge called for:

1. 1 sheet neutral colored cardstock (black, white, or kraft)


2. 1 sheet patterned paper with bright colors


3. 1 set of "stitches" either real or hand drawn, okay, or rub-ons


4. 1 over sized element that isn't a photo


5. 1 set of brads

And here's my LO.

5 on Friday at Apron Strings Design

Here's our challenge from Lori for this week:

below are your ingredients to work with for today:
1 sheet brown cardstock
1 sheet patterned paper with swirl/vine pattern
1 acrylic item
1 set of brads
1 length of ribbon
Outside of any journaling and a title, only the above ingredients are allowed. Because of my lateness with this challenge, and the fact that tomorrow is Halloween, this is due to be linked up by Sunday evening.

I got another Disney page done with this one.

Snow Day at Apron Strings Designs

And another challenge from Lori: I think it's a great day for a sketch challenge. Below is the current sketch from Nuts About Sketches. I love it because it's a one-pager (I don't do many of those) and it has six photos on it! How great is that. There's a twist with this challenge, though . . . create two layouts to be eligible for the Cookie Jar drawing. One layout use the sketch as is and then on the other one alter the sketch; make it a 2-pager, rotate the layout, adjust the photos sizes, etc. However you choose to alter it.

Link up your layouts in the comment section by Friday to be eligible for a Treat.

Here is my first LO.

Then I rotated the sketch on it's side,

focused on the photo grid, and added a second page.

Color Challenge at Apron Strings Design

Using only the colors shown in this photo (thank you Pottery Barn catalog), create a page layout, card, or altered project. The colors you may use are: eggplant, orange, gold, tan, brown, green.

and my LO, another Disney page! YAY!
