Best Buddies
by Jennifer Stevens


I have had the honour of knowing Jenn for almost 2 years now and had the pleasure of working with Jenn as part of the Sweet Pea Designs design team. Jenn has also sponsored the So Sketchy Sista's twice in the last year with which I am so thankful to her and awesome talent of creating fun journaling jotters at Creative Chaos. I just love the way that she always looked at my sketches with a new light and took them and made them her own.

Make sure you check out Jen's Etsy shop, Creative Chaos. Wonderful page girl!

This is the last official layout sketch for the month...

Precious Parts
by Nicole

For this beautiful layout by Nicole, I love the beautiful colour scheme, sweet photos and the distressing. I love that she has rotated 2 of her 4 photos. A fabulous use of the sketch Nicole!

"Combination"
by Jenn S.

I love Jenn's take on today's sketch. I love that she has used different sized photos and a large bold title. I like all the fun and colourful strips of journaling... a clever way to include a pop of colour! A beautiful page Jenn!

The Great Kitty Kat Adventure
by Zoe

I love that Zoe has used a unique shape instead of thelarge half circle within her design. I makes her title simply pop off of the page. I love that she has taken the number of photos down to 3 to include her beautiful distressed framed photos of her little girl. An adorable page Zoe!

A sketch with a wave...

Reindeer Fun
by Jen B.

I love how Jen interpreted this sketch! That line of fabulous bling is to die for! She's also changed up the photos a bit too and placed the largest of her photos in the middle. Simply an adorable page Jen!

Easter Goodies
by Frances

For this amazing layout by Frances, I love how she has taken the sketch and stretched it over a 2 page layout. I love how she has used the wave design and created a little scene above her photos. A beautiful page Frances!

Along For the Ride
by Aphra

Aphra has created this page using the sketch too and I love her title that follows the big wave shape on her page. Aphra has also used the sweet little lady bug buttons from this month's sponsor, My Little Bit of Whimsy as her flower centers. Too cute Aphra!

A large circle is a great way to start today...

Your Smile is Contagious
by Nicole

I love that Nicole has taken the circle from the sketch and used a large frilly heart to surround the sweet photos of her daughter! Love all that ribbon and lace! She's even multiplied the amount of smaller photos to get the maximum photo spaces on her page. A gorgeous page Nicole!

Another multi-photo sketch for you today...

Which Way? This Way!
by Zoe

I absolutely love this beautiful page by Zoe! I love all the beautiful papers she has used, that incredible distressing and those sweet photos! I love the sneak peeks of the fun patterned papers peeking out from behind her main mat. A stunning page Zoe!

#1 Wrestler
by Jenn S.

I love that Jenn has taken this 8.5x11 sketch and stretched it out to fill her 12x12 page. By stretching it, she's allowed larger photos and more negative space too! I love where she has added all of her journaling too... so clever! Wonderful page Jenn!
