SG Lovers Hop Ninth Stop



Welcome to the Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop for March, if this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.
 Lately, I have been working on photos of my Jido (grandpa) uncle and his family's trip of twenty years ago. They went sightseeing while at a Big Red 1 Infantry of WW II. Because I had a good amount of photos I decided to do a two page sketch from the Travel book. I love how this came out. It is simpler than my usual pages but it still has a big impact. 
Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts), pattern paper (October Afternoon and Studio Calico), stickers (American Crafts), mist (Studio calico), wood buttons, twine (Timeless Twine), border punch (EK Success) and stitch template (American Crafts) 
Here is a close up of the stitching.

You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.

Next on the hop is Lori S., leave a comment on each blog and one lucky commenter will receive a free sketch bundle of their choice from the store. The winner will be drawn on Monday, March 10th, so you have one week to leave a comment.

In case you get lost at any point, here is the list all the blogs

Sketch Lovers Blog Hop


Welcome to the SG Blog Hop for December, if this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.
For my page I went with a single page sketch from my favorite sketchbook Sketches for Scrapbooking one-page sketches Vol. 2). I ended up using some old Christmas photos of my late Jido (aka Grandpa). I used a paper that had a big image for the base because I was keeping everything else on the other side. I love how this page came out and that I was able to add layers and clusters with the sketch. 
Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (My Minds Eye and Graphic 45), washi tape (Darice and 7 Gypsies), ink (Quick Quotes), tags (Bo Bunny), die-cuts (The Robin's Nest), twine (Timeless Twine), doily and sequins)
You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.

Each blog will share a project using one of the SG sketches as a starting point. You can find the sketches in their books and downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.

My choice of sketch was the third sketch that was for three photos from the Sketches for Scrapbookers - One Page Sketches.
This page of My late grandpa and his army buddies is the second page of a double layout I did. The photo were taken in 1986.
Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio and Bazzil) pattern paper (Echo Park and Simple Stories), twine (Timeless Twine), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs, Ek Success, Glitz Designs and My Little Shoebox), mask (The Crafter's Workshop), mist (Ranger), modeling paste, border punch (EK Success), and diamond dew drops (The Robin's Nest
I didn't have and "I" for the word "Big" so I used an upside down exclamation point. The page is called Big Red One because that was the infantry they were in during World War II. These men went through a lot over seas. They were on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
   
       Next on the hop is Laureen, leave a comment on each blog and one lucky commenter will receive a free sketch bundle of their choice from the store. The winner will be draw on June 10th, so you have one week to leave a comment.
