Fall, my favorite: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

October 14, 2015 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 2 Comments

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches a new challenge. Why not play along with us using our October 15th sketch for some wonderful prizes from Lindy’s Stamp Gang and Scrapmatts?

Matt and I dogsat Spenser for Mom and Dad one autumn 1999 weekend while they took a little antiquing trip. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of my two guys with the changing leaves in the background.

Product/technique notes

Most of the patterned papers are from the We R Memory Keepers Autumn Splendor collection. The pumpkin die cuts behind the title are from the Silhouette store, and I designed the title to cut on the Silhouette as well.

Glued to the tube

This 1978 photo, which captures a very ordinary moment in a child’s life, makes me extraordinarily happy. It reminds me how fortunate I am to have this lifelong friendship with my brother. Love you, Philly!

Product/technique notes

I followed My Scraps & More sketch #115 and used the BasicGrey Highline collection. I painted the title with watercolors and scanned it to create the Silhouette cut file.

Time to recharge

Not all of us are good at recognizing when we need to recharge our batteries. But Chloe does. Today why not follow her lead and take a little time for you? 🙂

Product/technique notes

I found some heavy inspiration from this September Paper Issues mood board: the position of the cat (and no, I didn’t set up this shot; it’s a photo I’ve had printed for at least a year!), the colors, the camera and the handwritten word. I used products from BasicGrey, Heidi Swapp, Pebbles and Pink Paislee. And I designed and cut the title (with plug) on my Silhouette.

Bonnie & Clyde: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

Get a load of this Stuck?! Sketches October 1st sketch challenge. Grab the sketch and play along for some wonderful prizes from Heartfelt Creations and Scrapbook & Cards Today.

When we were growing up we didn’t have pets, but we were very lucky that our neighbors on either side of us had them. Clyde belonged to the Hinkles, who lived to our left. He was an indoor-outdoor tabby cat, and he didn’t seem to like people much when he and I got a little older. But when we were both at the tender age you see here (he looks like a kitten to me in this 1968 photo), it seems we got along famously.

Product/technique notes

The patterned papers are from the Doodlebug Designs Happy Harvest collection, the journaling cards are from Little Yellow Bicycle and the glitter cat-themed stickers are from The Paper Studio. I hand-stitched the circles and designed and cut the title on the Silhouette.

Third grade portraits

I contemplated titling this page “Disco school portraits.” I mean, get a load of those collars! And my brother’s leisure suit. And my pin-curled hair. There’s an awful lot going on here, so I’ll just leave you to your open-mouthed staring.

😉

Product/technique notes

I followed this September 25th ScrapMuch? sketch, and I used patterned papers from the American Crafts Nightfall collection, die cuts from Maggie Holmes and a piece of flair from Studio Calico. The alphabet across the top is a Silhouette cut file.
