Sketch Challenge

Anyone that has scrapped with me knows, I love my sketches! So when I read Lori at Apron Strings was hosting a sketch challenge, I knew it was perfect for me. Below is my take on 3 of the challenges, all using this PageMaps sketch.


Challenge #3- Use the sketch as is (I also combined 2 vertical 4x6 photos to fill the larger 5x7 spot and cropped my photos a bit larger as that worked better for the images I was using)

Challenge #4- Re-orient 2 photos (I also added a additional photo)


Challenge #6- Replace 2 smaller photos for a larger one (I misted over an alphabet mask to create the "background" paper for the right-hand side... and then couldn't bear to cover it up with the large mat so I matted all the individual photos to make them pop a bit)

Florida Friends

 

We see our friends in Florida only once a year, but each time we seem to pick right up where we left off. I love how the kids don't waste any time getting used to one another again... they dive right in and don't stop laughing until it's time to leave.

Derby Girls

During one of those cold, boring weekends in January we stumbled upon a movie called “Whip It,” about girls roller derby. I happened to mention that I’d like to go to a local match someday and Taylor just couldn’t BELIEVE that it was real. I guess she thought it was only in the movies. So we looked up the schedule and there happened to be a match that night. We brought her friend Hannah with us and the girls had a blast choosing a “derby crush” to cheer for. It was a great way to spend a cold January night!
