Happy Saturday! I hope your June is off to a great start! I just returned home from a very fast summer getaway which included one day at the beach!! Ah! I love the beach. The roar, the colors, the smell. Sigh... Nothing better...
I have returned home a kinder, gentler soul. Revived, rested, and ready to dive into the 400 new photos that I took! And to help me out, I need look no further than our June gallery! With three new challenges for us to share, we will put together three new pages in no time!
Monthly Sketch
Donna is back as our sketch creator and has put together a sketch based upon Deb's layout.
You may download it here.
Four photos here I come... Here is my layout. I rearranged the photos a little, and moved the journaling down, but otherwise, stayed pretty true.
I am excited to share three more sketch layouts with you, too, as a few teammates put together layouts as well!
Celeste is the master of layers and this layout is no exception. But the most amazing part of this is the smudges and masking. Digital genius!
I love Donna's colors and patterns and how she added a large grid flag behind the pattern paper strips. Did you notice her little airplane flair? So cute!
Lisa smartly recreated the sketch into an 11 x 8.5 by switching out the right side photo with a journaling box. She stayed true to the proportions on the photos. I love the white box and even grid lines on the photos. As darling as her accent!!
Design Element: Flair
This month, flair seemed to be the embellishment du jour. Nine different layouts were sporting the trend: Christa, Paula, Deb, Diane, Vivian, Keshet, Kathy, Emily, and Katrina. Perhaps we, too, should try?
Here is my flair!
Won't you try some, too?
Color
As I saw the layouts the first time, I fell in love with Teka's color scheme. I loved the faded hues. Such a soothing combination!
Feel free to add in a splash of raspberry!! Teka did it so well!
So that's it! Our three challenges. Here they are again! Hope you will play along!
