Dance Layouts Using Sketches

Hello! I have two new layouts I created this weekend using my daughter's dance photos. For my first layout, I used the November single page sketch from Stick It Down:

I started with a watercolor background paper and used the big corner scroll stamps to add some interest. I then used a couple of coordinating patterned papers to create some strips underneath the photo. I cut the title with my Cricut. To embellish the page, I used some die cut flowers and silver Nuvo Drops.

Next I scraplifted this fun layout from Paper Issues:

I love the distressed wedges of the circle, so I started by finding some patterned papers to create them. I then cut a half circle and folded it in half and then in half again to use as a template. I traced the template onto the papers and cut out the wedges. I used a distressing tool to rough up the edges and curled them up a bit by hand. I used my Cricut to cut some of the stars and punches to cut the other from the same papers. I also used the Cricut to draw and cut the letters. I then went to work layering the stars, popping some up with foam adhesive. I finished things off with sequins.
