Summer Smiles | You Are My Sunshine | Sketch Challenge | Pretty Little Studio

 

Hi everyone! It's Yvette on the blog today, sharing a sketch challenge layout made with the lovely "You Are My Sunshine" collection. This collection captures the essence of joy with its vibrant colors that remind us of sunny days and the simple pleasure of enjoying ice cream. I hope this inspires you and brings a smile to your day!

Here's this month's sketch.

I rotated the sketch so that the vertical strip was horizontal. I then chose the Pick-Up Sticks paper, creating the illusion that the paper was cut into thin strips rather than one solid piece, and I loved the result.

The sketch has the photo mainly in the center of the page, but I decided to nudge it to the right. This little tweak adds a nice touch and makes it feel more inviting!

By moving the photo to the right, I needed to remove the thin strips on the sketch. I then added two of the Die-Cuts from the 100% Sunshine Word on the left side of the layout and placed the title (Summer Smiles) above my photo.

I had a great time getting creative on this page! I swapped out the star elements for some lovely floral die-cuts from Fresh Bloom Stems and added some cute butterfly die-cuts from Butterfly Wings. To top it off, I used one of the Frisbee Frame/Journaling Tags as a fun way to jot down my thoughts. It really added a personal touch!

'm thrilled with how this turned out! We would love for you to join in on the fun! Please share your creations using this sketch in our Facebook Fan Group. I can't wait to see what you come up with! I truly appreciate you taking the time to stop by. Until we meet again, take care, and happy scrapping!

Yvette xoxo
