Soaring gas prices, crazy interest rates, an unstable market - the
state of the economy is alarming, as I’m sure I
don’t have to tell you. The economic condition
has affected every one of us in some way or
another. A large number of people are even
losing their jobs, homes and businesses in this
terrible time. The scrapbooking industry seems
to be a common casualty as people cannot be
spending their budgets on hobbies.
The other morning, I received a very sad e-mail from my favorite local
scrap store. The owner, and someone whom I’ve
come to call a friend, explained that she can no
longer keep her business afloat and regretfully
had to close the store. Besides being one of
the most organized stores you could ever walk
into, it was beautifully decorated in
shabby-chic style, and had the best inventory in
town; a place that was just comfortable,
friendly and a pleasure to shop at. I couldn’t
believe that it was going out of business. My
heart goes out to the owner and for the loss of
her dream.
In these
tight times, remember that we have free sketches
here at ScrapSTreet every Saturday night, and
our old ones are still available - head on over
to the gallery for a look!
Here are a page sketch and some entries from our sketch contest. It
was a lot of fun, so much actually, that I think
we will do another one in the new year.

Design note:
This sketch is very linear. Six photos all
neatly line up to tell your story, and one
large one for emphasis. Only a few
embellishments as I wanted to keep the page
neat and un-cluttered.

Map Contest Sketch #1 by Michelle
McClung.

Design note:
This was a great sketch to include lots of
photos. I also love this textured paper by
Love Elsie. I rubbed ink over the textured
background to make the lips more defined. |

Sibling Rivalry by: Keely Yowler. Supplies: Paper:
Bazzill, Love Elsie, KI Memories, Chipboard:
Maya Road, Stickers: Doodlebug Designs, Ink:
Clearsnap, Journaling block: Jenni Bowlin.
Journaling: You two definitely have a love-hate
relationship. You argue and wrestle, but 5
minutes later you are laughing and playing
again. I'm happy you 2 are so close and
enjoy spending time together (most of the
time). Love you.
 |
Design note:
I loved the clean lines on sketch 1. To make
this sketch work for the photos I had, I
used 4 smaller photos instead of 6 to fill
the space, and to balance out the placing of
the embellishments I moved the complete
photo block to the left.

Papers and Die-cuts: Fancy Pants Designs,
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Chipboard:

Journaling: Wishing…it were your
birthday every day.
