Platinum Scraps was originally launched February of 2010 as a vision of several friends who met on the Cricut Message board who wanted to venture out into creating, sharing, and showcasing the many talents each of us possess. Platinum Scraps showcases the diversity in scrapbooking and features designers from all walks of life. To keep the tradition going, each week our design team is challenged to create a unique layout or card based on a sketch that exemplifies their skills and talents. We hope that we inspire your creations and we appreciate your continued love and support as we grow together.

Two for the Price of One Friday!

Woohoo I can smell the hot dogs and burgers on the grills already ready! It is Memorial day weekend and as we get together with family and friends let's all make sure to take a moment to acknowledge all of our Armed Forces, the people who put their lives on the line for our country. Here at Platinumscraps we are wrapping up our sketch layout week with two interpretations of the sketch. There is still time to join us, you can view the original sketch here and upload your creation using the simply-linked widget below!

First up is Princess with a lip-smacking tasty New Orleans themed two page layout. Love the colors and the glitter and feathers. If I had some beads I would be throwing them right now!

So Happy When We're Together Like This

So Happy When We're Together Like This by Jojorenee.  I must add that when she joined the design team she said, I don't do two page layouts.  Well, don't you think she knocked this one out of the park? 

Jojorenee said "It's been so long since I've done a two page layout.  I was really frightened I would not complete it." Last Thursday night I had a dream and I couldn't wait until Friday night to put the layout out on the table.  Though I had different photos in the dream, looking through my album I found these and thought they'd suit the layout better.  Part of the problem is I do not print my photos at home so I usually do not have them in different sizes and/or a whole bunch of different shots.  I can remember the days when it killed me not to use multiple photos on a layout.  I thought it was such a waste to do one photo or one page.  Which do you like doing better?

I hope that our visitors today give the sketch a try and show us what you can do.  As always, you can preview the sketch here, create your project, then upload it using the simply linked widget at the bottom of the post.
