justem: little bits of this and that

Us {PageMaps + Gossamer Blue}

Hi there!  This month, a number of Gossamer Blue team members were featured on Becky Fleck's PageMaps site!  I was given an 8.5x11 sketch (thank goodness, ha!) to work with, and I created this layout:

I used my Silhouette to create the heart background. This happens to also be my Main Kit-Only layout this month, unfortunately the Main Kit is already sold out!! In fact, everything sold out in record time this month - so be sure to sign up for a subscription so you don't miss out! ;)  To see the original PageMaps sketch and all the other great layouts, check out the February PageMaps page!  Have a great day! :)

Ring Toss

I have a new layout up on the Pebbles Blog today!  It's another Sketchy Thursday layout. I must admit, I have always been so afraid of sketches, but my last two Pebbles assignments were sketches, and I loved them both!  The funny thing about this layout is that I literally looked at the sketch one time before I started creating, and I was so surprised to see how similar my layout actually was to the sketch in the end!!  To see the original sketch and another designer's version of it, be sure to check out the post on the Pebbles Blog!

Beautiful Surprise

Happy Friday! I had a new layout up on the Pebbles Blog yesterday for Sketchy Thursday! Usually I'm not a huge fan of sketches, but I actually really enjoyed using this one!  I was so excited to finally use my new Lakeside products!!

For more info on the layout, including the original sketch, check out the post on the Pebbles blog!

May PageMaps guest...

About a month ago, the write.click.scrapbook team was asked to contribute layouts for Becky Fleck's May PageMaps.  I shyly raised my had to volunteer. You see, sketches kind of terrify me.  My style is pretty set in stone, and I can never figure out how to make sketches "my own." Out of the hundreds of layouts I've made, I can truly only remember making three layouts using a sketch...EVER.  Oh...and did I mention that the sketch she gave me was a 12x12 sketch...even scarier!!!  I don't know that my final layout looks all that much like original, but I'm happy with it! I was very much out of my comfort zone, and it is a very different style of layout than I usually create, but it works! :)

Be sure to check out the fabulous work of my w.c.s. teammates, as well!  Have a great day!
