28 Days of Sketches - Sketches twenty to twenty eight

28 Days of Sketches

The beauty of first getting organised with your pages is that they will eventually get finished.  And so I have.  It definitely wasn't 28 days but I got there in the end and I now have 28 layouts completed and away in albums.  Happy.

28 Days of Sketches - Sketches Fifteen to Nineteen

28 Days of Sketches

Remember me taking part in this class?  I have had several pages that I had started sitting about and have come back to them to finish what I started.

Sketch Fifteen

Sketch Sixteen

Sketch Seventeen

Sketch Eighteen

Sketch Nineteen

The class has been a great chance to try some new layouts and to use a lot of my stash.  It has really confirmed the style that I am coming to put together as my own.  The idea was a sketch a day but that just wasn't possible.  Good that I get anytime access to the class so I can add them at any time.  Nine to go.

28 Days of Sketches - Sketches Six to Ten

28 Days of Sketches

Wet afternoons - Good for ducks and scrapbooking.  So I made the most of it. Keeping on with the sketches from the class.  I have put together kits for the photos for each of the sketches so when I get to them I can get to work straight away.

Sketch Six

The pictures in the sketch were more random.  As I had more I decided to line them up as I like the clean lines.  I am starting to have a little more freedom from sticking so closely to the sketch.

So glad that I took pictures of this fun. Something so simple that gave hours of fun

Sketch Seven

My photos were a little bigger than those in the sketch.  I have been trying different ways to do the background as I usually keep to white or plain.  This one could have had a little less of the busy pattern

Sketch Eight

Love it when you find just the right papers for the job 

 Sketch Nine

Always a goer for stepping out of the comfort zone.  The sketch used layers at the bottom in different patterns.  A little busy for me.  

 Sketch Ten

Another go at the adapted sketch for a double layout.

28 Days of Sketches - Sketches Two, Four and Five

28 Days of Sketches

I was never going to get the 28 Sketches done in 28 days.  I seem to go in chunks where I get to do a lot of crafting and then no so much.  With winter ills and boys home sick the last few weeks have been spent hunkering down and getting the basics done.  I finally have the chance to get back to my projects.  That is what I love about Big Picture Classes.  Stacey gets it.  Life has a way of throwing things at you that are unexpected.  The ideal is that you do the class when it is on but the beauty is that once you have signed up you get life time access to the class material and gallery.  So I do want to complete the sketches.  I have several packs for photos ready to do the sketches.  It will just happen when it happens.

Here are three more pages that I have done.

Sketch One

This was using four smaller pictures in a circular arrangement.  I decided to add the larger photo and use the sketch for a double spread.  Love that I captured this story.

Sketch Four

One of those everyday moments

Sketch Five

A boy and his passion

I have been keeping the pages simple.  My focus on the story

28 Days of Sketches - Sketch One and Three

28 Days of Sketches

So it begins.  This is the first sketch with 27 more to come.

Using a sketch really pushes you outside your comfort zone.  From experience that is something that you want to do.  It allows you to discover things you might never have had thought of and those things that you may not like.

Because there was more to this story I decided to use another of the sketches for the second page.  Loving that I had recorded the memory in my diary/log book so I could include the photo I didn't take so the whole story was there.  You can see another of my non-photo records at this post {second layout}  a challenge from a crop day that came from the blog Unphotographable dedicated to all the times when you don't have your camera or it just isn't possible or appropriate to take a photo but you want to remember the moment.
