Create: Sketches -- Sketch #2

As I mentioned in this post, I'm challenging myself to create a layout and a card using each sketch in the Create: Sketches book from Northridge Publishing. So, today, I'm sharing the projects I made using Sketch 2.

So, firstly, here's the layout I made using the sketch. I was mostly inspired by the borders along the top and bottom of the page. I decided to switch the long banner they had along the top of the page to a smaller flag banner, for this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: Flagged Borders.

I used American Crafts cardstock and mostly Crate Paper patterned paper (the yellow and white chevron right under the title is MME).  I used my PTI double-ended banner die and get a handle on it banner die to diecut my flags. On the third flag, I stamped a sentiment from Waltzingmouse's My Island stamp set.

My title was stamped onto my layout using Ali Edwards' Incred stamp set by Technique Tuesday. I used a little Tim Holtz paper clip.

Here's a close-up of my journaling:

I used two more stamps from the WMS My Island set to create this embellishment, which I slipped under a Crate Paper slide frame.

And while I had my Crate Paper goodies still out on my table, I made a card using the sketch. Again, I focused on the borders along the top and bottom and made another flagged border using the same supplies as above. I stamped the sentiment from PTI's Movers & Shakers sentiments and added a few MME enamel dots to finish it off.

Thanks for looking!
