I find sketches the best way to jumpstart that creativity! For this Sketch with a Twist challenge, in the theme of my summer MMC's, we are keeping it old school. Did you have a Viewmaster when you were a kid? I did! Use the sketch below and the twist is you must use at least one Viewmaster photo reel (artwork, ephemera, print one from online, or you can even cut one yourself with a craft knife). You can put photos in it, if you like, or just use it as a decorative element. Bonus entry in the prize drawing if you put an actual Viewmaster reel on your layout! (Does anyone still have those?)
This sketch is awesome! Besides the circles, did you notice the pieced together background? Great way to use up some scraps if you choose to do it that way! I need to be able to tell you used the sketch, so don't change it too drastically!
You have until midnight, Monday, July 8th to upload your layout into the gallery spot I've provided.
Must be a new layout.
CANNOT be combined with other challenges, except for the inspirational challenges that require multiple prompts, such as the bi-Monthly challenge. (Before anyone asks, yes, you get to count these layouts for the new Team challenge! )
kicking myself for not buying a viewmaster reel die!! great sketch! and no, i certainly don't have any of the real thing lying around although it would be a cool embellishment for sure! hmm maybe i could find one at a thrift store before next week...

Lol I bought Tim Holtz's ! And that's the first thing I thought of - thank God I did!
I feel like maybe I have a viewmaster reel something somewhere?? I cannot for the life of me remember what collection though. Oh no, whatever shall I do? I might just have to go fondle, I mean look, through every collection I have........
Happy Scrapping!

I’ve found viewmasters in both Bobunnys “modern miss” and old MME. I don’t know if this helps?
Fortunately I have two sizes of viewmaster dies, so I’ll get a jump on this challenge
Add some sparkle to your life

I still have Viewmaster cards.
And my 8 year old DD and 5 year old grandbaby still play with them.
It is one of their favorite toys.

They have one you could cheat with on Cricut Design Space lol
No Laura, I won't cheat. It's a Celtic knot ( if they say so) but it's a bunch of viewmaster reels under a banner strip.

I said you could print one out, so I don't think it is cheating if it looks like a Viewmaster reel.

Yes, I still have View Master reels. I think the bigger grands worn the dang thing out. And I also have the Tim Holtz die.

If anybody needs to print out a viewmaster reel, I found this on Pinterest. It kinda matches the Vicki Boutin viewmaster reel tag that I found in my stash
