Let's Capture Our Memories: "Sketch This Out!" Sketch #54

Hey, everyone! Today is the first "Sketch This Out!" feature over at Let's Capture Our Memories!! Every two Saturdays, Ashley Hamm, Jocelyne Roy and I will reveal our designs using the same sketch with the same set of products - a great way for any scrapper to see that any collection can be used by any scrapper, for any theme, via any style. Exciting!!

This week, we had an awesome sketch to play with by Becky Fleck over at PageMaps. Here it is:

And we were asked to get creative with the Glitz Design - Finnley collection. I love what Glitz Design itself had to say about Finnley: Woodland animals… Feathers… Trendy colors… Triangles… Full of Whimsy…  The Finnley collection is full of love, & will be perfect for babies, relationships, & everything else in between!

I truly enjoyed working with this collection. The colours are so vibrant, yet there are lots of mellower pieces to even things out. And the embellishments are to die for! LOVE the rhinestones! And there are so many die-cuts and stickers that you can do tons of projects without running out. Here is what I created:

I love this shot of our cat, Caillou, taken by a friend, Philippe Dumas. I've been trying to take pictures of Caillou ever since we adopted him in May 2013, but I can't seem to figure how to do it so that they turn out like I want them to. Philippe sure knew how to go about it! LOVE it!!

Naturally, for this layout, I mostly used products from the Glitz Design Finnley collection including the patterned paper, die-cuts, stickets and rhinestones (did I mention that I LOVE them?!?), but I also dashed some Tim Holtz, Studio Calico, StazOn and DMC floss on there, too. You can find most of these products over at LCOM, right here.

Want to see what Ashley and Jocelyne created with the same sketch and products? Go to today's LCOM reveal and see for yourselves how are takes are totally different from one another. And... if you want to try today's sketch to highlight a special moment in your life, please feel free to link your design to today's LCOM reveal - you'll earn a chance to win a Scrapbook & Cards Today's CardMaps 3. Woo!Hoo!

Oh! And starting in February, you'll get to see lots more of Ashley, Jocelyne and I over at LCOM. Just sayin'! ;) Stay tuned for more details... 

Happy scrapping!!
