Disney's Olaf with CMG

I'm sharing for Sketch it Out Thursday on the Crafty Maven Getaway today. After looking over the inspiration piece I knew immediately I'd use the new PhotoPlay Paper Summer Daydreams collection. It was a perfect fit for my Olaf photos so then I was off to find a sketch.



Here's a look at the process.

Focus On Sketches: On An Adventure

I'm so excited to be back this week with another layout from the Focus On Sketches.  Last we looked at stretching and expanding a sketch to go across the entire page. This week we're looking at squishing it together and making a very linear sketch into a fun free flowing layout.



A look at the process and the idea of stretching a sketch.

This time around i'm sharing turning the sketch 180 degrees but keeping the elements in the same place. I did swap out the photo and journaling spot for one bigger photo since I didn't have a lot of journaling for this photo.

Be sure to come back next Thursday when I'll show you how to expand your sketch!!

And some close ups
