Little Yellow Bicycle February March Sketch Challenge and NEW Saturdays Page

Little Yellow Bicycle's Saturdays collection has got to be one of my VERY favorites!  I love reds and blues and this collection features a deep red and denim blue that is perfectly grounded in browns and creams, but I'll let you be the judge. I also love how the Saturdays collection can easily be used for either gender, but I keep channeling masculine pages. I just love the pops of red in this collection and how it is grounded in blues and browns, which I think are perfect for stuff that guys like to do.  This is my husband and our son hiking, and then a smaller picture of our campsite

I created this little flag trio with the chipboard shaped banners and then tied a bit of velvet floss around them.  flags are such a fun cluster and I finished these off with a bit of coordinating bling.

I am totally smitten with velvet embroidery floss.  This deep red color has a wonderful soft and richness about it and is meant to compliment the pops of red in the Saturdays collection.  I added a basic running stitch around the border of the brown paper as shown in the sketch.  Since this is a masculine page, I layered chipboard shapes instead of flowers.

For the title, I used the corrugated alphabet from the Wonder & Wishes collection.  Then I layered a few of the Fresh Verse stickers for an added journal sentiment.

 

The Tear Out Tickets make a great focal element on a page and provide an opportunity to add some hand written journaling.  I like how these have lines, so I write neatly.

 

Here is the sketch and details.  I hope you will jump into our challenge at Little Yellow Bicycle.
