Hello! I created a layout for the challenge from Christy on Christys Beautiful Life YouTube channel for the giveaway.  Christy and Rachel have a series called Get Sketchy with Christy and Rachel that has been going for 1 year now.  Congratulations ladies!  I enjoy this series because I think it's interesting to see how everyone approaches a sketch differently.  For their 1 year anniversary they are doing a giveaway.  To qualify for the giveaway, you need to create a layout using one of the sketches that they used over the last year (click for  Christy's video for giveaway).  I chose to use the second sketch (click for Christy's video) they used.  It is from Creative Scrappers sketch #262.  Here is the sketch:

Now I had planned to go somewhere entirely different with this layout.  I had planned to use my kids 3 school photos from last year and to create a companion page for my last layout.  However, it did not work.  I created the chevron background.  This took me absolutely forever to figure out.  I totally over thought it and just made it a huge deal.  When I finally figured it out I wanted to slap myself.  Anyway, I created the background using multiple papers.  Then I brought the photos in and HATED it.  So then I chose a different photo to use.  I really didn't know how to go about embellishing this page so I just started putting things on the page until I liked what I saw.  Here is the layout I created:

I think this is a fun layout.  The colors are a little more fall than I would have wanted for this photo.  But I think it turned out.  It's hard to tell but I traced the larger chevron pieces onto the background with a Spectrum Noir 017 yellow colored pencil.  I think it added more chevrons without it adding busyness to the layout.

I created a video for this layout.  Check it out! 

Here is the list of products that I used:
