Chic Tags Sketch It Out | In Focus

Yesterday, our first Sketch challenge for the new year went up on the Chic Tags Blog!  If you love using circles in your page designs, then this sketch is just for you!  And if you haven't tried circles, then here's your chance to try a new design element on your pages.

I love having the small circles in the background, because it gives you a great opportunity for embellishing!  I mixed two of the Chic Tags patterned papers behind my circles and then embellished them with some tags from the Happy Place collection, stamps, wood veneers, and enamel dots.  I changed up the photo area and used two photos instead of three, but you could stick with the three spots or even do just one large photo across the photo area.

We hope you will kick off the new year, by playing along with us!  You can link up on the Chic Tags Blog, for the chance to win a Chic Tags Grab Bag.  You don't have to use Chic Tags products on your layout, but we love it when you do.  The deadline to play along is, NOON on Saturday, January 18, 2014.

Supplies:  Patterned Paper, Tags, Run-Ons, Letter Stickers & Stamps:  Chic Tags; Wood Veneers & Paper Clip:  Studio Calico;  Buttons:  October Afternoon; Enamel Dots:  Freckled Fawn & My Mind's Eye; Die Cut Machine:  Silhouette CAMEO
