Sketch #36 12x12 with Scalloped Square Frame

I love the sketch and cut file for today. It's easy and lets you used lots of different pieces of papers that you like. You can even use up some little scraps.
***Remember the cut file link is just under the .jpg image of the frame. Be sure to mention SketchSavvy with a link when you use this file. As always, leave a comment and let me know what you think of the sketch and cut file. Have Fun!

Sketch #35 12x12 with Pompom border

Today's cut file is a what I call a pompom border. I love this one, but I will tell you that cutting it from glittered paper requires a new blade and mat or the deep cut blade. Do you like this border? Leave me a quick note and of course if you use this file be sure to mention SketchSavvy and include a link. Thanks!

Here is my layout. I deviated a bit from the sketch because I really wanted to try the white washed masked thing. For close ups and info visit My Blog HERE.



Jeanne used the sketch to do this beautiful page and I just love her anchors! Very cool She used a mist across her papers rather than the whitewash which is cool, and she used a scallop at the bottom.



Pam used this sketch with a really cute twist - she used real pom pom trim for the border where my die cut is. Check it out HERE
