November 2024 Challenge #3 Let's Get Sketchy

 Hello! Master Forger Vikki here with the third challenge of the month, our sketch challenge. Let's take a look at our inspiration kit, which is Goldenrod by Traci Reed Designs.

Here is the sketch I created for this month's challenge.  It's sure to get you into the fall mood.  Remember, a sketch is just a jumping off point.  You don't have to follow it exactly.  Turn one of the photos into a journal card or additional ephemera.  Do what works for you and the photos you have.

Let's take a look at how our  Master Forgers took on this challenge.

Too many photos for a single page sketch? Stretch it out! I took Vikki's design and stretched it across a two-page layout by adding a second block of photos! Instead of aligning the photos in the center on each page, I opted to shift them to the center of the layout for a more cohesive look.

Since our inspiration kit this month had some star, pumpkin and autumnal leaf papers, I used papers similar to create a ghostly Halloween layout. I didn't have 4 photos so I made a spooky night scene on the other space instead in place of a photo.

I also didn't have four photos for this layout, so I framed a 3x4 pocket card that came with the inspiration kit. I used pumpkins as embellishments to tie in those in the photos. I added images of the characters into the embellishment clusters.  This was a fun layout to create and came together quickly with the help of the sketch.

 Now, let's see what we have lined up for the rest of this month:

• 24th November - Follower Showcase 
• 28th November - December Sneak Peek (on Instagram and the Facebook Community)
• 30th November - Challenge #4 Baby, Use Those Scraps Challenge

Show us what you've got!  We love our followers! Make sure that you come hang out with us on the Facebook Community Group.  You can also catch us on Instagram by tagging #counterfeitkitchallenge and #ckcnovember2024.

Until next time, happy creating!
