Creative Life Scrapbooking Sketch September 2019

Hi scrapbookers! I’m excited to share this fun sketch with you today, and I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it!

In the Creative Life Scrapbooking group, we try to make at least one sketch for you every season, and this time it was my turn. I wanted to create a sketch that would encourage me and others to use up strips of paper and combined lots of patterns in one page. I hope you like the sketch and make sure you follow Creative Life Scrapbooking on Facebook to see what everybody in our group is doing with this sketch this month.

2017 Creative Life Scrapbooking Fall Blog Hop!

Thanks for joining our Fall Blog Hop! It’s my favorite time of year, with all the leaves, crisp air, and sweaters – And this year to go along with all of that I’m loving the rich fall colors and the combinations of classic, rustic patterns in Creative Memories’ Countryside Comfort line!

I’m sharing some Countryside Comfort layouts that I started last week during the Creative Memories Virtual Crop on Facebook. If you haven’t done a virtual crop yet, I highly recommend it! Creative Memories hosts several each year, and the Creative Life Scrapbooking group has hosted a couple more so far.

Creative Scrapbooker September Sketch

This month, the Creative Life Scrapbooking team decided to take Creative Scrapbooker magazine’s Sketchy Challenge and make layouts based on this circle layout sketch, but with a twist: stash busting only! All of us have lots of older scrapbooking supplies, and sometimes we need some motivation to use that instead of the brand-newest stuff. 🙂

TBH, when I first saw this sketch I was like, “What am I going to do with this?!?” It was way outside my normal scrappy comfort zone! I tried one layout that I totally hated (maybe I’ll post that as a blooper sometime), and I almost gave up.

But then I was struck with inspiration one day as I gathered a bunch of wedding announcements off my fridge and realized that the three photos from those announcements would be perfect for this layout! Once I had that thought, I LOVED the process of creating this page! (And while I was journaling on the page, I even got teary-eyed because the people on this page are so special to me, so clearly this was an important story for me.)
