Oh sweet work holidays :) so thankful today for a 3 day weekend.
It's just the extra day I needed to get back on track with some stuff.
Like specifically, my blogging!
I've been scrapbooking, (some of my projects I can share, and some of which I have to wait to share until next month :) super excited about that!) just not blogging.
Today, I wanted to show off a few of the recent Sketchpad layouts I completed. Slowly but surely I've been making my way through these sketches and have used 7 of the 12 so far.
KP is famous for her use of circles, and when I saw the sketch this layout is based on, I knew I wanted to use them for these photos from the Haggia Sophia.
Jesus and Mary both have haloes depicted around their heads, which I thought went well with the circular design of the layout.
These mosaics were utter masterpieces. Their luminescence was absolutely breathtaking!And don't you just love colors? The golds and blues with the dark red thrown in, it all felt very regal.
I wish I'd tended toward a "less is more" approach to this page, but I like how it turned out none the less. It was a fun layout to make. I just wish the Kraft had photographed better!
It's very simple and straight forward, and features some instagram shots. Man do I love my instagram app! (And if only it was easier to get these bad boys printed!! But that's another story...)
The embellishment clusters came together really easy with some of the scraps I had on my desk, and also a few things from my pickle jars. Speaking of, I should probably share some of my desk organization this blog. That'll be a post for later this week.

The misting was meant to be the shining focal point, but I used too thin paper as a mask and it kind of bled through. Not to worry, I like the effect. It makes it feel more rustic, "manly" if you will ;)

If you're interested in these Sketch classes of KP's you might want to keep checking back for it ;) :)
