"Beautiful" and a Sketch for Two Scrapbook Friends

Good Morning! I am happy to share with a sketch I designed for Two Scrapbook Friends! For those of you who have been with me a while, may heard me say that I usually don't work from a sketch as a rule. I prefer to let the photos speak to me (fluffy, eh?) and so when I am asked to create a sketch I usually scrap first and sketch last!  This sketch arose from a piece of patterned paper. My Little Yellow Bicycle created this great paper and when I was searching for papers to match my little pics, I discovered this one. The photos just fell into their little spots on the page..oooooo...ahhhh...so magical!

I added lots of stitch-y bits and buttons and a few pennant pieces (which cover a few text highlights) for anchors and flow. Some washi tape and gems too.



Overall I like the design, but when I created the corresponding sketch..well.it seemed a bit..SPARSE.  Lots of potential but a challenge for sure!


Sooooooooooooooooo, if you decide to play along be sure to add your own little bits to anchor your design and create flow. I'd love to see what you create. Just pop into Two Scrapbook Friends forum and say "Hello".

Until next time, keep doing what you love,
Christa
