My lovely friends Helen, Sarah and Jackie run a Facebook group where they give us a sketch to play with for the month with their three takes on the sketch. This morning I decided to join in for the September sketch!

This was the sketch that they used from Pagemaps.

I decided on these three photos and then picked out the single piece of patterned paper because it worked with the colour of my cap in the photos. I did have to immediately vary the sketch by having one pic slightly larger to keep us all in frame!

I turned the sketch to the right when I started with the sewing deciding on the vertical for the photos rather than the horizontal. Just felt more right with the pics that I had!
I then added the hand sewing based on the sketch (but also added a little more in a few other places too).

I chose a Bramble Fox acrylic for my title and some other Bramble Fox bits and pieces from the stash.
I decided to use one of the stencils in the background with some tattered rose distress ink – I thought it worked with the beach vibe!

I love those sparkly starfish elements and the cute shells.

My final embellishment was the sequins from the stash which just added some extra texture.

Love how this came out and it was good to get a scrapbook page done as the mojo has been missing for scrapping a little the past couple of weeks.

I did video the process so you can check this out on my YouTube channel.
Happy crafting!
