Hello everyone and happy Saturday!  It's time for another sketch challenge here at the Come On Get Crafty blog...

Let's take a look at what our amazing creative team came up with!

Ginny rocked the sketch by using different patterned paper strips as her background...

And here's what Diane came up with...

Isn't that photo amazing?!?!  I just love how she used gold accents to bring out the beautiful sunflares in her photo. 

Suz said, "I stayed pretty true to the sketch and decided to use the sentiment stickers not only for my title work, but also to represent the rectangles in the sketch (along with my photo of course).  I kept this layout pretty minimalistic.  Sometimes I like my layouts to be more about the photo + words and less on the embellishments.  (And then sometimes I like to play away with the embellishments!  I guess it just depends  on how I feel on that particular day!) ;) 

"My journaling is hidden beneath the photo as shown below.  It documents how I love the age my DS is at right now; curious, wanting to learn, and still liking to hang out with the 'rents.  I pop-dotted the camera sticker to add a bit of dimension and a little machine stitching down the borders. "

Shop Items Used:  Pebbles (Lakeside Phrase Stickers), Lily Bee (Sweet Shoppe Strawberries and Cream Patterned Paper, Sweet Shoppe Label Stickers)

Here's how Nicole interpreted the sketch...

Nicole says, "I loved how this sketch has borders and the potential for lots of layers.  I decided to stamp the borders on the side using the Jillibean Soup stamps and then draw some attention to it with the Lily Bee twine from the embellishment bundle.  I've been grabbing old photos that are already printed trying to create scrapbooks for our older sons who will be graduating from high school soon.  This is one of my favorite photos of my husband with our two oldest kids when they were just starting to love books.  I love how my son is looking at his daddy as he reads...priceless!"

Shop Items Used:  Lily Bee (Sweet Shoppe Embellishment Bundle and Letter Stickers), Jillibean Soup (Chilled Cucumber Clear Stamps Set 2), Basic Grey (Candy Buttons), Freckled Fawn (Black Pinwheel Washi Tape)

Here's Melissa's layout using the sketch...

I just love all the circular elements she used and those layers are just fabulous! 

 

And here's my take on the sketch...

I went all out with rainbow colors to emphasize my photo of the double rainbow that I had captured one summer afternoon after a rain.

Shop Items Used:  Basic Grey (Candy Buttons), Elle's Studio (Saltwater Cutouts, L'il Snippets, and Tabs), Lily Bee (Sweet Shoppe Circle & Tag Stickers, Sweet Shoppe Embellishment Bundle), Fancy Pants (What A Wonderfu Day Sticker Fundamentals), Crate Paper (The Pier Paper Pad)
