Saturday Sketch #1 Sep 2012

For this Sat. Sketch I have given the 'Twig and Berry' Collection another try ... this time I was keen to try my hand at using a Christmas collection to make a non-Christmas page! I'm quite happy with how it all worked out too ... I love the earthy greens in this particular range and couldn't resist leaning towards them when I found this Sketch. It's a great Sketch ... I stuck quite closely to it as I thought that the paper-inside-the-same-paper effect was a brilliant one! The big metal piece on the page was just something I picked up on e-bay one day that I thought looked cool ... I love the hidden treasures that you can find on e-bay! LOL

Thanks for stopping by for a look. Cheers from Kel.

This is the Sketch it was based on ...

Twig and Berry Layout

This layout made with the new Twig & Berry Collection is just the beginning of a wave of Christmas ideas coming our way over the next month!

I must admit I feel panic set in at the thought of Christmas being brought up already ... but then I console myself with the idea that if I get onto it now, I'll be more than ready by the time December the first rolls around! LOL

So with this layout I have used the die cut paper from the collection and made the rosettes from a Tim holtz die. most of the bits and bobs added to the page are from the collectables pack and I have used the lovely flourish stamp from this range to create the green swirls you can see in the background.

I have loads of Christmas photos and it's just one of my favourite times of the year so I'm looking forward to sharing loads more of these layouts with you in the next few weeks!

Cheers from Kelly-ann.
