Sketch n Scrap Layout & Cricut Overlay How To

When I saw this sketch, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I decided to make an overlay using my Cricut for the first page of our Zion National Park photos.

The sketch is from Sketch n Scrap. Be sure to check out their monthly sketches. They post two layout sketches and two card sketches each month.

I did a How To video on creating your own overlay using the Cricut. Check it out below. This overlay is actually pretty simple compared to others that I made.

Here's the finished layout:

What did I do?:

• I used the back of an ugly paper for the overlay and sponged three different tones of blue and one green across the sheet of paper. This is a great way to use those ugly one sided papers especially when they are heavyweighted!
• Dark Roast (brown) splatter was placed around the photos & embellishments as well.
• Cut a small piece of patterned paper and placed it behind the title and cut a strip to place along the top.
• The little cluster on the top right is a piece of scrap green paper with a quote.
• The mountain scene was cut with the Cricut as well. After gluing it together, I placed it on the bottom.
• The overlay is 11.5x11.5 and resting on a piece of woodgrain paper.

Your turn...create a layout and link it to the Sketch n Scrap blog before the end of the month!
