I am a Sketchy Thursday Favorite layout!!! Yeah!!!

Thank you Sketchy Thursday for this inspiration. I had so much fun working with it, my Season's paper from Crate, and my summer pictures from a while ago.......

I love the way the lettering from Echo park, comes together with this paper, creatining a whimsical feeling

I loved this sketch so much, and loved that I could incorparate two pictures that I loved!!!! The seasons collecton from Crate Paper was perfect for the layout!!!1

I love playing along with pagemaps. This layout asked for 4 small pics, but I couldn't resist on the 5x7 fall picture of Emily that I tool. I love the way it turned out! and love the crate paper that I used. Perfect colours for a perfect picture.

What an awesome day

Here is another page of Matthew. He had so much fun helping dad with the fence last summer...what a better way to capture the moment!

Here is Emily Trying Sushi with chopsticks. Unlike Matthew, Emily struggled a bit with them.

But it really doesn't matter how we eat the sushi. It tastes yummy either way.......and definately something that we loved to have every now and than!

CARTWHEEL, Its all in the DETAILS

  I love all the sketches and the ideas on pagemaps. Not only do the sketches bring me inspiration, they allow me to get away, and begin to show my creativity. When I saw this sketch, I knew the exact pictures that I wanted to use! Emily loves her gymnastics, and at a very young age, started to practice her Cartwheels in the yard! The pix I used, helps to show the sequence of a cartwheel, and how the body rotates. The paper from Echo Park, Summer Days helped to bring the page to life. I also HAD TO USE Emily's favorite colour purple as the background. The sun was brought to life by a button in the middle, and to frame the page, I used stitching.
