July Double Page Sketch Team

Happy July! Wow can you believe we're already this far into 2023? It's gone by fast! Since it's summer I hope you've been able to enjoy the additional sunshine and that you've found some time to scrapbook on the rainy days! Here's another sketch to get your creative wheels turning!


Thanksgiving in July. ha--I took some liberties with this layout.  But
it worked out for all my holiday photos.  I have been having fun going
through "older" papers and embellishments and using up some of my stash.



I modified the sketch to incorporate a few more snorkeling photos from our trip to Hanauma Bay (on the island of Oahu). What a wonderful day to enjoy the beach and ocean life!


I tried to stick to the sketch as much as possible this month. I love sketches like this one - there is enough room for multiple photos, embellishment clusters and showcasing the beautiful patterned papers, too!



I also followed this sketch.  It worked perfectly for the pictures I had.  I used the new summer line Photoplay.


Isn't it fun to see how differently people scrapbook? Thank you double-page team for the incredible inspiration this month! Now it's up to you! Let's see what you can come up with!

June single page team!

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's single page sketch reveal week over here at Stick It Down - our June sketch was created by Brandi:


We all love a multi-photo layout here - and this is how our single page team interpreted this month's sketch:


Such a fun sketch this month! I went WAY back into my stash for some vintage Studio Calico and Bella Blvd., along with some JilliBean Soup punch out embellishments.




I decided to use two larger photos for my layout, so I also stretched the background piece to complement. A little misting on the cardstock base & some gold embellishments made for a great wedding photo highlight. 




Here's a few snapshots of my little lady in Hawaii last year! I was inspired to make the rectangle in the background of the sketch a mixed-media focal point and then found that VW bus embellishment in my stash and fell in love with it. I had to use it! Too fun!



Be sure to join in the fun - you have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our challenges... just create a layout based on one of our sketches and link your entry in our sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in August!

Happy scrapping!
