Two-page Week, Part 2

••••••••••••••••••••••
Two-page Sketch #25


You can download and print this sketch by clicking on the two-page sketches link found under the "printable sketches" tab on the right sidebar.


"Puppy Love" by Michele Edwards
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill, Bo Bunny; Patterned Paper: Basic Grey; Embellishments: Micro Beads from DeSerres, Paw prints are Jolees; Ribbon: KaiserCraft; Alphabets: Cricut (Plantin Schoolbook); Floss: DMC; Misc: Glossy Accents

Variations

1. I loved the photo sizes in the sketch, and so didn't change them, I simply rearranged a few of them. I matted the entire photo block.

2. I used ribbon for the vertical paper strips on the left side of the page. I tied a cute little bow near the top.

3. I wanted the title to appear wet, like the letters were just lavished with puppy kisses, so I coated them with Glossy Accents.


I used the microbead encrusted heart as the 'O' in the word LOVE, and floated the letters over the layout.

4. I removed the journaling strips.

5. Instead of flower embellishments on the right page, I stitched a curvey line across the layout and then placed little paw prints along its length.

"A Girl Scout Kinda Day" by Ashley Horton
Supply List - Cardstock: Die Cuts with a View; Patterned Paper: October Afternoon, Crate Paper and Anna Griffin; Adhesive Chipboard: Cosmo Cricket; Brads: Bazzill; Thickers: American Crafts; Mini Market Stickers: October Afternoon; Stickers: October Afternoon; Font: CK Handprint; Edgers: Provo Craft; Embroidery Floss: Janlynn; Pen: Zig Memory System; Adhesives: 3L Mounting Squares, Zig Memory System and Recollections

Variation #1 - I made most of my changes to the sketch, in the sizes of the photos that I used. Instead of the two 2x2 and one 4x4 on the left page, I used a 6x4. I also changed the 3 photos on the far right hand side from two 3x3 and one 3x2, to two 2.75x2 and one 2.75x4.

Variation #2 - I added border strips above and below the photo grid.

Variation #3 - I stitched along the perimeter of the page.

Variation #4 - I added a frame (mat) behind the title and the pinwheels (which I added in place of the flowers on the sketch).


Variation #5 - Because of the size of my title, I moved the journaling strips down a little further on the page.

"A Family Surprise" by Noey Hunt
Products used - Patterned papers: Cosmo Cricket (stripes), Bella Blvd (rain drops); Flowers: Making Memories, Prima; Stamps: Close To My Heart; Letters: Prima (cream), American Crafts (Thickers)


Variation 1: I shrunk the sketch. The album this layout goes in is only 8x8 inches, so I took all the sizes and shrunk them to 2/3 the original size. The largest photo is 3x4 inches.

Variation 2: The photo block has the same overall dimensions of the sketch, but I couldn't make my photos fit as the sketch outlined. So I moved things around and combined some of the smallest photos into larger ones.

Variation 3: After working on an 8x8 album with 12x12 supplies, I had lots of scraps. The right page on this layout is patched together with scraps and I added the extra vertical strips to cover the seams.


Variation 4: I didn't have much journaling to do, so I skipped the journaling strips and added a little extra details with stamps under the flowers.
