Project 12 - April Reveal - June Sketch!

Hello!  Welcome to the weekend!  It is Memorial Weekend here in the U.S.  and I plan to spend as much of it in the outdoors as possible.  I have shrubs to plant, a garden to consider, and kids with no school.  Entertainment is a must!

The end of the month also brings us to the next sketch and layouts for Project 12.  First I want to thank you so much for participating!  Life is getting extremely busy at my house these days, and I’m so thankful to have this project as a way to document life at our house.  I’m able to utilize my journaling space and I way I don’t normally do with layouts.  For example, I mentioned I was sick for several weeks with a cold.  It may seem silly to document, but maybe getting a cold will be a thing of the past someday.  It might be nice for people to see how things happened “in the old days”.

With that nasty cold and April on my mind, here’s a reminder of the April sketch:

 

And this is what I came up with:

 

Of the sketches we’ve had so far, this was the most difficult for me.  That’s why I like them.  They stretch me creatively while still doing their job in offering place to document our family history.
I was curious to see what others came up with for this month, and enjoyed perusing the layouts linked in the comment section, and the submissions sent in for the Facebook gallery.  Of course, I had to share a few. 

I love this first one from Brenda, which just happens to use the WRMK line that’s the prize for this month:
 

I love the mix of patterns with cardstock for the base of the layout and the embellies she used to fill the white space.

I’m in love with this one from Jennifer:

 

The way she trimmed that October Afternoon patterned paper in this design and used part of it as a banner is brilliant, brilliant I tell you.  I’m going to file that away for future use.  I adore that piece of patterned paper.  I also really like the brown stitching used to frame the page.

You know I’m a fan of those calendar type pages so I really dig what Jennifer H. did this month.  This is a great idea for the calendar you buy from the store.  Just keep track of what you do and add some photos at the end of the month.  Love this one!  I really like that banner with the umbrella too.  Perfect for April!

 


Lastly is this one from Margy:

 
I really like the color palette and clean lines to this design.  I love the different flowers, how she journaled about each person in the family, and the way she punched and tore the journaling box.  Nicely done!

Thanks again to all those who played along with the challenge!  As our monthly thank you, we have some prize winners.

The prize winner from my blog is:  Tara O. 

and the winner here at SCT is:

It was also fun to see my layout here! I am really enjoying this project and I love seeing what everyone else comes up with.
Happy Long weekend to you!

I hope I have the nerve to send a layout in to you. I am doing the year for my grandsons and I am only at March but maybe this will give me a push.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful layouts today.
