I love using sketches as the starting point for my scrapbook layouts. This sketch was featured on the A Cherry On Top gallery, and it is a PageMaps sketch.
I was so excited to use the new Doodlebug Hey Pumpkin line for this page. Noelle dressed up as a cat a few years back, and the Doodlebug kitty is a perfect match. First, I chose my base color of pink. I also knew that I wanted to incorporate some of the tag tops from one of the patterned papers. Those helped determine the rest of my color palette.
The citrus petite print is a good balance for all of the other vivid patterns that I chose. Once I had all of my papers, it was time to embellish! I used a mix of stickers and odds & ends, plus some enamel dots. For the finishing touch, I used my latest obsession--rub on stitching! I love the look of stitching on layouts, but I rarely have the time to dedicate to the project. Enter 49 & Market rub on stitches. They are amazing for faux stitches.
The colors on the finished layout just make me smile. This paper perfectly showcases the memory of Noelle's school party. This sketch could be used again and again for Halloween or other events.
