Inspiration { year in review }

Since I started working in the crafting industry several years ago, I have met some amazingly talented people!  Today's project was actually inspired by one of them and her most recent blog post. For her family's year in review, she made a collage of Instagram photos taken with her phone over the last year. She numbered them and then gave a brief description of each one. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to try creating a scrapbook page using the same basic concept. Here is my interpretation of her fun idea.

I used some of the darling sketch frames in the online store, and created some of my own using the designer edition of the Silhouette Studio.  Here is how I did it...

First, I opened the basic shapes I wanted to use and selected all of them. This made it easy to apply the changes to all of them at once.

Then, in the sketch window I selected "continuous". This gave the shapes a sketchy appearance like the more ornate frames I found in the store.

To complete the background on my page, I added in the other frames, and moved/re-sized them until they were where I wanted them to be sketched.



Then, I switched out my blade for the black sketch pen and let the CAMEO work it's magic. Nicely done dear CAMEO, nicely done!
