Today kicks off my first ever "Week of Layouts" blog series. Each day this week I will post a new video with a new 12"x12" layout. I have five step-by-step YouTube tutorials filmed, edited and ready to upload.
I made a sketch for each layout that will be available for you here on my blog as part of each day's post. I actually drew all my own sketches for this week's video series on graph paper. This was the first time I have ever drawn my own sketches, but I really enjoyed it! Here's today's sketch: {click the sketch to make it bigger}
And here's the layout I created from the above sketch: {click the layout to make it bigger}
Today's layout was all about using our 8"x8" paper pads to make 12"x12" layouts. Those of us who enjoy making cards and mini albums probably have tons of smaller paper pads around that could be used for layouts & it was a fun challenge to try and make it work. These papers came from October Afternoon's super adorable Fly A Kite collection.
The products I used in today's layout, mini album and card were a gift from Shannon at the Paper Made Bakery. She sent me a kit from her store a while ago {before the house album fiasco ~ hee hee} and I am excited to finally share what I did with the goodies. Thank you so much, Shannon!
I just uploaded a new video with the projects I made for Paper Made Bakery over on my YouTube channel. You can watch the video in the window below, or click the link to watch over on YouTube: A Day in the Keys 12"x24"Layout.
I hope you enjoyed the video, the layout & the extra bonus projects! Stay tuned for a new layout tomorrow using the Bo Bunny Zoology collection about one of my trips to Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Enjoy!
