August Scrapbook Sketch Take 5 | Robbie Herring

Hi everyone! Robbie here today to share my take on the August Scrapbook Sketch! It is such a fun sketch and you can see from the previous posts that each of us had a different vision of it to make it come to life. As I've said in the past, 3 Birds collections are so versatile! Using the same sketch and the same products to come up with such different pages shows just how versatile the collections are!

To start, I built my background. I used Chasity's fabulous tip using the Xyron Create to adhere the vellum to my page.

Instead of using several triangles to build my corners, I chose to use several strips to mimic the look of the sketch. I combined ribbon, stitching and even quilling strips to complete the look. The quilling strips are perfect to add directly to the page and the scalloped ones add such a cute touch!

Next up, I layered some pieces from the Summer Themed Card Set for some layering around the photo. Instead of using the card 'as is', I fussy cut around the cute scallops.



Of course, this is my page, so I added some little felt flowers, a few doilies and some extra stitching to embellish it! The 3D embellishment piece fit perfectly for a little extra touch!

Don't forget that you can play along with us using the August Scrapbook Sketch.  All you have to do is create a project and share it with us on our Facebook page. We will select one person to feature on our 3 Birds Blog and Facebook page in September. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my project!
