This layout for the December sketch took our breath away!

For a little different feel to our color challenge, this month I asked our DT member, Adrienne to pick the inspiration piece, and I have to say... she totally nailed it! Thank you Adrienne! 

Adrienne of course ROCKed it! I LOVE all the gold bits she found! 

I love it when Natt creates a layout, they always make me look at the square canvas in a new way!

I love how Anna-Maria used the arrows and was able to keep her style through these colors. 

I love that Christin made a card! HELLO WIDE GOLD CHEVRON WASHI!

I adore Brandy's take on these colors. First off hello, that photo is too cute. Second, why can't I have handwriting like this? It's just so beautiful, and Brandy, you are an amazing story teller!

Washi Workshop with Adrienne

Hi, everyone!  It's Adrienne here with a festive Washi Workshop for you today!  

I was sitting in my craft room a few weeks ago looking through some supplies when I found a huge stash of binder rings that I normally use for my mini albums.  I immediately thought of using them to make festive washi wreaths for the holidays!  These wreaths are super easy to assemble and can be used for more than just ornaments.

Here's what you'll need:

Washi Tape (of course!)  Make sure to add a few wide washi styles as well!  

You'll also need medium or large size binder rings (mine were about 1 3/4 inches wide), about 16 inches of baker's twine or ribbon, scissors, glue dots, and 5 inch doilies from Freckled Fawn.

After you round up your supplies, your ready to get started!

*I used about 4 inch long washi strips...you can always trim them down as you add your layers if needed.

*I used about 7 inches of wide washi strips and then folded them in half before adhering them to the back of the wreath with glue dots.  This also makes it easier to see where you need to add extra strips.

*I used my circle cutter to cut out the doily's center, but you could also trace a circle and cut it out with scissors.  

*I added a bit of bling to this wreath...feel free to dress up your wreath any way you wish!

Whether you like traditional or trendy seasonal colors, Freckled Fawn has TONS of beautiful washi tape to help coordinate with your holiday decor!

These wreaths would look beautiful hanging on the tree or attached to a pretty package!  You could also dress up your mantle or place in an open frame for a trendier look.  Have fun and I hope you enjoyed my little Washi Wreath Tutorial!  Happy Holidays, everyone!!!

xoxo - Adrienne

November Sketch

One of my favorite challenges we do on the blog is the sketch challenge! I LOVE being inspired by others in our community and this is the perfect excuse to do just that! I would love for to join us! If you would like to play along please leave a comment on this post by Monday November 19th with a link to your layout for a chance to win a $5 Freckled Fawn Gift Card!

I was in AWE of this page by Adrienne! I adore the BOLD design, COLOR and feel of the layout!

Adrienne was so sweet and even played along with a take on the sketch herself! 

There are so many things I love about Adrienne's take on her own layout. Those stars are just to die for. And hello, that photo? SO STINKIN SWEET! Her color combo is just pain ole yummy!!

I also did a little take on the sketch myself! :) 

I know you may be wondering what happened here!  Instead of stars I did hearts and turned it on

its side, then scaled it down a bit. I was also inspired by the colors Adrienne used, that girl and her color! I love it! Adrienne also used the Studio Calico wood veneer, which inspired me to do so as well!

I can't wait to see what you create! Just remember to post it here by 

Monday November 19th for your chance to win a $5 gift certificate to Freckled Fawn!
