New Reader!!

 

  Ready for this weeks' sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

I'll admit this sketch had me stumped.... 

I've been working on a mini album for one of my grandsons who is beginning his reading journey.  The album hopefully will keep him not only interested in reading but also in journaling his thoughts about each book.  I'm using the Simple Stories flip book which measures around 6 1/4 x 8 1/4 and includes various pocket sizes.  

I'm using Witches & Wizards paper collection (Echo Park) for the majority of his book.  For the sketch I cut approximately 1/2" strips of interesting words from the patterned paper, and cut apart a longer sentiment strip.   

**TIP** - Use monochromatic patterned paper & sentiments (I've added three small dark green stars)

We're ready to record the 3rd book!!  

Thanks for checking out my design using this weeks' sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.   Now it's your turn to get creative.

Sketch #667 Magic

This is a great sketch with clean lines & layers.  What magic will be created? 

I love seeing a little person get bit by the book bug.  The joy that comes from picking up a book and getting lost in the story is magical.  Three of my four grandsons are starting their reading journeys and I couldn't be more proud. 

Using Witches & Wizards (Echo Park) collection, I've layered the busy pattern paper pieces with solid pieces to create a pleasing background.  

**TIP** - Use embossing folders to create a subtle pattern on solid colour cardstock for visual interest.    

Books are a favourite gift & this card will be perfect for a special present. 

Thanks for playing along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge .
