Good morning! Today we are having a sketch challenge over at My Creative Time!
So here is what I came up with based on the sketch. I took certain elements from it and changed them up a bit. Which really helped me come up with this whimsical layout.
I am so behind on my scrapbook layouts!! Though for some reason I have been having a urge to scrap these particular photos from when my hubby surprised us with his R&R right before my son's third birthday. It was so nice to have him home for a bit after he had already been gone almost 9 months. R&R's are so wonderful but never long enough.
I used Recollections: Kraft card stock for the base and added white gel pen stitching. Next, I created the backgrounds with Recollections: Pink Linen and DCWV: Chevron/Notebook papers.
Then I used a mass amount of My Creative Time Products to add character to the layout. I loved how they all flowed together so wonderfully!
Just in case you are wondering, I left the journal card blank to take a picture and then filled it in after the fact. At times, my journaling is very personal and so I just decided not to share it at this time.
