Hello Gorgeous! with Jackie Ludlage

Okay, I LOVE the Carta Bella Paper Co. En Vogue collection! The soft matte muted colours, the” fashionista” images, the Paris feel, the lipstick, the purses, the dresses, and more! This collection is super playful and really easy to design with! Here is a cute little layout I put together in literally an hour! I also had some fun trying out some new pens. Zebra Sarasa Fine Felt Tip Pens. I used this pen for the journaling and some decorative lines. It was perfect! The final touch – I adhered everything together with a combination of Glue Dots Super Strength Gluetape and All-Purpose Dots to add some dimension here and there.

I almost always start a layout by looking at a sketch! Here is the sketch that I based my layout on, designed by Kerry Engel. I turned the sketch on its side. Remember to do that when you are looking at a sketch. Turn it around until you find something that inspires you. Did you know that we have a Facebook group dedicated solely to sketches? We sure do. It’s called Creative Scrapbooker Magazine’s Sketchy Group. CLICK HERE to join. Each month Kerry posts a different sketch – then you post your takes! Love it!
