Weekly Sketch #4

Welcome to our 4th weekly sketch. This week the sketch and examples have been designed by Maxine.

Sketch #4

Layout Example 1

Words for this layout were taken from the Winnie the Pooh song 'Forever and Ever'.

Layout Example 2

Words for this layout were taken from Black Eyed Peas 'I Gotta Feeling'.

Card Example


This card uses MME Stella & Rose and Hero Arts Stamps.

In both my layout examples I have merged the journaling and title together but you could have a seperate journaling and title block like the sketch shows.

I really hope that you are enjoying our weekly sketches, please feel free to comment below or on our facebook page if you create any projects using our sketches.

Happy Crafting,
Maxine

Weekly Sketch #2

Welcome to our 2nd weekly sketch. I hope you liked last weeks sketch and would love to see any projects you create from any of our sketches. Feel free to leave links to your blog in the comments or come on over to our Facebook page and share on the wall.

Our week 2 sketch and examples have been designed by Maxine.

This is not a new sketch I have designed but is my favourite sketch, all the examples to follow have been created from this sketch over the past year or so.

Sketch #2

Card Example 1
Card Example 2
I love the versatility of this sketch, you can fit up to 9 photos on it should you wish (as in layout example 2) or include 6 photos and use the bottom (or top) section for your title and journaling (as in examples 1 and 3). In my layout examples my coloured squares measure 3" and my photos approx 2", but you could make each square a 3" photo if you do not wish to include a photo mat. You could also use some of the squares for journaling instead of photos. I love to embellish my layouts quite a lot but you could also make a much simplier and clean looking layout by using minimal embellishments. The list of options with this sketch is almost endless!

I hope you have enjoyed our second weekly sketch and watch out for another next week!

Weekly Sketch #1

Welcome to our new Weekly Sketch on the Truly Madly Crafty Blog. Each week we will bring you a new sketch and some example layouts and cards.

This week the sketch and all examples have been designed by Maxine.

Sketch #1

This is our simple sketch for our first week. The photo area can be 1 6x4 photo or several smaller ones. The block on the left hand side can be made up of a strip of patterned paper, several strips of co-ordinating papers or ribbons. Underneath the title there is space for journaling should you wish to include some. And the circle on the corner of the photo is a cluster or embellishments/flowers/buttons etc.

You can enter with any papercraft project and you can also combine it with other challenges. As long as it is new work and not something completed before the challenge was set then you can enter it!
