I did change it up some by the time I was finished. lol But still I followed the sketch pretty well. I don't know where I got this sketch from as I just save them to my computer. I need to start marking where they come from.
Here is what it looks like on my Gypsy:
I then started with a white base and started building my papers. For my pattern papers I used Hobby Lobby's brand Paper Studio Vintage Nation paper. This is my first time using my Scrap' in Easel and can I just say I am already loving this thing!! It is so nice to have the layout sitting up right, much better on your neck and shoulders!
Next I cut out my apple shadow border using Making the Grade Cricut cart. I welded my apple shadows together at different heights and cut out of black cardstock. Then I hide the inside of the apple in my Gypsy and cut out enough apples for the shadows. I also hide the outside of the apple to cut out the white flesh of the apple using off white or vanilla cardstock. I think they look pretty good after getting it all together. I placed it on the pattern papers with a magnet. Nothing is glued down as of yet.
Next came my title and journeling box with apple. The word "American" came from 3 Birds on Parade, I hide the "all" and the "stars" with my Gypsy as I just wanted the word "American". Both words "as" came from Billionaire that I welded together, "Apple Pie" came from Blackletter and my journaling box came from Elegant Edges, my apple on my journeling box came from Preserves cart. I also did some distressing with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink. I was going to mat my pics on white cardstock but then changed my mind. lol
Here what it looks like after the pics have been added and it's all glued down. I'm a pretty happy with the way this turned out! I hope that you have been inspired by the SSD design team and get crafty too using apples as your theme.
Until next time Happy Crafting my friends!
Love this LO I like the way you did the top of the pages.

Terrific layout! I really appreciate how you added so much detial in your post as to how you lay everything out.....I sometimes have a hard time with page maps sketches, figuring out how to get my cricut cuts in there....I appreciate seeing your though process!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Missy I'm glad that it helped you out!! Sometimes I have problems with sketches too, but I have found that using the Scrap Easel really helps because you can layout each piece and then stand back and look at it because it is standing up. That seems to really help me.
ReplyDeleteWow Wow Wow Brenda, That is one awesomely amazing LO girlfriend. I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteLove the layout! You did an awesome job! I love the apple border. I'm glad you had a fun day around the pool. The apple pie ala mode looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove that title!
ReplyDeleteThere are additional means of doing this, for instance you might place different individuals in various categories.
