Together | Storyteller Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, its Melissa here and I’m so happy to be back again with you.  This month we are creating with sketches, which is something I love to do!  I know some people find it hard to create from a sketch, but I find it a great way to kick start my creative flow.  Last week I put a poll up on the Facebook Group asking for people to vote for which collection I should use.  Storyteller was the winner, and because of this I decided to choose a sketch by co-creator Traci Reed (of Traci Reed Designs).  Here is my layout:

And here is Traci’s super fun sketch:

I decided to use Fly Away for my background torn paper strips.  I just love the green colour and the subtle circular patterns. I also fussy cut several butterflies from the other side of the paper to use as embellishments.

I fussy the Love this Life heart from one of the Pocket Life Cards and used it as embellishment.  Then I used lots of florals for the pinwheel shapes on the sketch.  I love how they look through the central white card stock background. I also embellished with more fussy cut butterflies and Puffy Hearts.

I love using the Foam Title Stickers to make an easy title.  I used the word “Together” which was perfect to document Brielle and Ava dressing up and eating watermelon.

I had fun making this layout, and you can watch the video below.

Take care
