Live with Purpose - 49 and Market November Sketch

 Hello 49 and Market Fans, today I would like to share my layout of my super cute Grandson doing what boys do best, climbing a tree! This is at Yanchep National Park just around the corner from us and has amazing huge old trees, along with an open  Koala enclosure and heaps and heaps of Kangaroos, plus lots of birds and wildlife.   

This is the sketch challenge for November.
I have added how to enter at the bottom of my blog post, you could win one of two 49 and Market prize packs.

I have started with two of the same paper, Vintage Artistry Essentials - Virtue. I cut the leaves from one sheet and put them aside. Using the other sheet I have cut around the leaves so they can pop up from the page and be and extra layer. Then I have used the reverse side of the paper to create the ripped centre piece.  

The Laser cut sheets that come with the 12x12 packs are just exceptional, I have used the crooked fence and bamboo frame from them. Sand the pieces to make them look a bit older and shabby

The leaves that I cut from the first sheet I have layered with the ones I cut from the bottom pieces of paper that are sitting over the top of the centre piece. I have also done this on the bottom leaves.

"Live with Purpose" this banner was in the Vintage Artistry Essentials ephemera pack, the Essentials Hardware epoxy stickers are also amazing and I have used them here to look like a hanging sign and also in the corners of my photo mat. 

A Collage of photos 

1) I have used the Stitched Frames to add layers by putting them behind the photos and the ripped sheet.

2) Vintage Artistry Essentials foliage and In the Leaves rub on transfers which I have added around my page.

3) Those gorgeous trees are from the In the Leaves washi tape set that I have coloured along with the best day ever sign at the top, you can colour the washi with water colour pencils, sprays and paints.

4) More rub ons from the Essentials and In the Leaves range add extra foliage and texture.

Cool, Crisp and Delicious Days - 49 and Market "In the Leaves"

 Hello everyone and welcome to my take on the 49 and Market Sketch challenge with the NEW NEW NEW  Vintage Artistry In the Leaves Fall range. 

This is the wonderful sketch for September 

and My Layout....

This is a photo of my gorgeously sweet Grand Daughter at the park across the road, I started with using the solid colour burnt red reverse of "Splendor" to cut a circle frame with a wait for it ... A Cuttlebug die, I know it has been ages since my Cuttlebug has even seen the outside of the cupboard.  I cut a section out from the right hand side of the paper to leave the patterned left hand side for another layout. 

I have added it to the top of my page like the sketch and added chipboard behind my photo to raise it up so that I could add pieces behind. I then created the bottom cluster with Marble and Sunshine flowers adding white lacey trim in a semi circle shape.

I then added the Marble and Sunshine flowers around the photograph in sprays, tucking some more lacey trim in at the bottom to mirror the lower cluster.

I then got busy adding the amazing foliage pieces in and around both the top and bottom features, tucking in the ends under the flowers and photograph.

To finish off my page I have added lots and lots of rub on transfers, the green paint splash in a semi circle at the bottom the the words "Cool, Crisp and Delicious Days" over the top of the splash rub ons in a layering effect. The butterflies are so gorgeous and in different sizes add the finishing touches.
