Wildcard Wednesday: Soccer Sketch

Happy Wednesday to everyone!  This week I've prepared a sketch and sample layout for you.  The sketch is 12" x 12" but could easily be adapted to a different size.  It uses two 4" x 6" photos and you could even add a round photo if you like.  I chose to include a 'button' my son got with his soccer pictures.  Of course as soon as he saw it on there he wanted to pull it off and put it on!  This layout features the Toy Box line.  It works wonderfully for all kinds of subjects, including sports.  

ALL of the products used can be found HERE at Shop KI!  Right now there is free shipping on orders over $30! 

  

Here is the sketch:

Allotted Time: One Hour 

Would you like to win some Bloom lovelies?  Just complete a layout or card based on the sketch and post a link here for us all to see.  Winner will be announced next Wednesday so you have a week to work on it!  Have a great day!

I made a card with the sketch and flipped it on it's side.

Wildcard Wednesday: Little One Page Kit

Happy Hump Day!  This Wednesday we're going to look at another Page Kit, the cutest one of all...Little One.

The Kit includes 4 Glitter Cardstocks, 8 Patterned Cardstocks, Alpha Stickers, Glitter Stickers and Rub-Ons.  There is enough product inside the Page Kit to make a number of pages or even a small themed album.  

 

On my layout, "thank you mr stork", I decided to use a large number of photos.  One thing about having a new baby....the number of photos you take goes up about 300%!  And I seem to have to get almost all of them printed.  I decided that instead of scrapbooking just one event or day I would mix together several photos over a period of time.  They were all 4" x 6" photos that I trimmed down to 4" x 4".  I adhered them in a grid pattern on a background paper.  One photo on each row is adhered with pop dots to add some dimension to the layout.  I left one square empty and filled it with a Patterned Cardstock.  I embellished with the Alpha Stickers, Glitter Stickers and Rub-Ons.  I added a skinny strip of Patterned Cardstock to several of the photo squares to dress it up a bit.  I added the Rub-Ons directly on the photos.  I didn't put much journaling on this page because I've already scrapbooked the majority of these photos on their own individual pages.  But, if you have more journaling to add you could always create a companion page, journal on the back, or use one of the photo squares for journaling. 

 

The Page Kits are also great for cardmaking!  By creating the main embellishment out of Patterned Cardstock you could repeat the same card over again several times with just small changes in the Sticker or Rub-On embellishments.  This would be perfect for a shower invitation or for thank you notes!

 

Products Used:

Little One Page Kit

Allotted Time: 30 minutes(layout)   15 minutes (card)

Thank you so much for all your suggestions on what to share each Wednesday.  I've filled in the calendar and have some fun things in store for you!  Next week I'll be sharing a sketch & project...can't wait!

Shop KI: Pop Culture Feature

Design Team Member Caroline Ikeji created a couple fun layouts using the Pop Culture products featured at Shop KI.  There are nine different groupings of products currently for sale.  Perfect to mix and match your favorites....or just get them all! 

Caroline created a wild frame for her photo by cutting strips of Pop Culture paper and Sashes.  She also added strips of paper to the top and bottom of the background to create a frame for her layout.  

Caroline's inspiration for this layout came straight from the Taglines Cardstock Stickers.  She read them and knew exactly which pictures she wanted to use.  She arranged the Softies Frames in a random grid pattern along with the Taglines and then filled in the space with patterned paper.  She created the green accents by cutting the circles from patterned paper with scalloped scissors and adhering with a pop dot.

Don't forget, you can purchase the fabulous products used to make these Pop Culture projects in Shop KI at http://shop.kimemories.com/pop-culture.aspx.

These items are available at a great value, just in time for the holidays.  You'll also receive free shipping on orders over $20 (to domestic locations via USPS Priority).  Enjoy!
