Hi! Angela Fehr here and I have a confession to make. I love sketches! I almost always use one as a starting point for a scrapbooking layout, and so the May challenge is right up my alley.
I wanted to scrap some vacation photos, but the challenge called for a "mother" theme, so I journaled a little about how much it meant to me, the mom, to vacation with my family this winter. And I used the Kreaxions butterfly die to create my journaling blocks!
My newest punch is #307, and I like the geometric edge when using the punch without a guide attached. I also cut out a circle using the circle cutter and B Template, and punched around the edge for added texture.
Thanks for looking, and I hope I've inspired you to interpret the sketch a little differently and be flexible with the themes! Use the Challenge tab at the top of the page to navigate to our current challenge and play along!
adorable!
