Try It Tuesday: Stuck Sketch Blog

I love a challenge to motivate me to scrap a memory and if you follow my blog or my Pinterest account, you know I love any scrapbook page with a circle!  In fact I have a whole board on Pinterest called Scrapbook Pages:  Circle in a Square.  So, I am all in for this Stuck?! Sketch challenge   And Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week is for Back to School, so I will enter this challenge too.  I used my Cricut Explore to cut a circular maze I found on the Internet, as well as the birdy sign, the Cabin sign, the star and the Field Trip circle.  Cartridges used are:  Cabin, Songbird, Designers Calendar, Store Front, K-12, Close To My Heart Art Philosophy.  I used the Explore's print and cut for the Cabin, birdy and Field Trip signs and just cut the rest and glued the layers.

Above you can see the inspiration sketch.  I played with the circle portion, and left the title and embellishment placements similar.  I dropped the mat pattern paper because my circle was bigger and I wanted to highlight the maze.
The American Pickers would be proud of me, because I even used a button from a local estate sale to embellish this page.  So, a page about the oldest build in the county also have some local ephemera.

#BackToSchool for Juniors

Wondering what trends are big for back to school this Fall?  The jean jacket gets updated with moto styling. So start with a fabulous Moto Jacket at Nordstrom by Frenchi.  Also big this season, the Boho trend continues!  Layer the jacket over a printed V-Neck Swing Top by Chloe.  The boyfriend, and boot cut jeans are strong this season.  So, pair the pieces above with the STS Blue "Tomboy" High Rise Jean.  Add great flats like Vans Suede Slip-On Sneakers.  She'll love the Fossil 'Vicker' Drawstring backpack purse too!
