Got Sketch? Three takes on the September Sketchy Challenge.

October 25, 2023 No Comments

Hello and Happy Fall! Kim here with some layouts to share, inspired by the September Sketchy Challenge. It’s no secret that I LOVE a good sketch as a starting place for scrapbooking. It seems to be what my brain seeks to start my creative process. I’m not one to always follow a sketch exactly. I never see absolutes with a sketch.

What if the photo was paper or vice-versa, could an embellishment be a photo, one photo could hold the ‘weight’ of many photos, a photo could be a journal block, etc. I do not look to replicate the sketch, though sometimes it…

Fall is definitely my favourite season…I love the cooler days, the changing colours of the trees, fall decor, a hot PSL 😉 and of course, Fall themed projects!

Both backgrounds were made using the following Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxide colours; Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Scattered Straw and some Vintage Photo blended around the edges.
