CLOSED Sketch Swap Progress

[123SA]

Oohhh love the jungle and Rope drop pages!

I have finished two sets -- for Grp 1 I used sketch 6, title Mickey Mouse.


Question: For bday group 6, I am considering sketch 4SB. I would use that as the right hand page and use the mirror image for the left page. Is this okay? My title will be Ready Set Blow

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

You can use a mirror or you can change it so that the journaling is in the strip on the second page instead of more 3x4 photos. What I would do is try to copy the main solid middle piece and the horizontal strip to show continuity. It does not have be an exact duplicate at all.

This goes for any of the single turned double sketches.

Hi All!

Finished a layout and wanted to share. Group 17a Beachy theme. I used sketch #4SA, but turned the title vertical. Hopefully you like it. The jolees stickers are all 3d and the castle and bucket have sand on them.

The title took some time. I tried something new...from an issue of Creating Keepsakes Feb. 2002 (eek--I've been wanting to try this technique that long? How pitiful!) Anyhow, it is paper pierced with some marker dots as well to make it easier to read. I think it resembles sand. What do you think?

Traci, LOVE IT! what a creative title!!

I believe a small lesson on creating the sign posts would be most welcome.

Thank you for the nice comments. I can't decide whether to use this for Rope Drop or Fantasyland - I have lots of pics for Fantasyland! But the signs to me kind of capture the chaotic fun of Rope Drop - and we always go to Fantasyland first!

I can give instructions - no problem! They were easy to do!

1. I used the Cricut for the arrows -
*George/Basic Shapes - Rectangles, regular and irregular (2" to 2.5")
*Mickey and Friends: The Icon for the Diner is arrows for their signpost (that signpost was my inspiration!). I used the shift function so I got just the arrows. (Real Dial Size, 3-3.25 inch) I also used this cartridge for the Mickey hands that are "pointing" (1")
*Summer Vacation: the "turn arrow" I think they call it Arrow-2. I cut a few of these to make the arrow straight, but it looked just like Mickey and Friends, only straighter (instead of irregular). These were about 2.5 to 3 inches in size

2. The posts were just scraps and a Mickey-ear border.

3. The words were printed. I tried vellum, but I didn't like the way it looked (too formal.) I used cardstock and printed them in different fonts, trying to match the original signs in Fantasyland. I kept the names of the fonts, if you need those, too.

4. Cut out the words and put them on the arrows. I matted them at one point, but I ended up liking them directly on the signs better.

5. Assemble posts and place signs - I pointed them all different directions!

Hope that gives you what you need! Let me know if I left anything out or if you have questions!

Hi All!

Traci,

This is SOOOOO cute! I think it looks awesome! Wishing I was in this group, too! And I'm glad I'm not the only one that hoards designs! That one was worth saving! I could see the paper piercing with marker dots of different colors for "Celebrate" or something, resembling confetti... I might need to try this for the birthday pages I'm working on!

Here is my sketch #59SD for the single page boys group. You can see where I took my liberties.

ETA: The tags will have more of the matching stickers, I don't have enough and need to get more.

After the summer we have had, there was only one appropriate title I could think of for my summer spot in Group 10............

The big orange strip is where the 4 3x3 photos go.

Took a few other pics so you could see the flocking, chalk, and stickles that you really can't see in the other photo.
