Playtime with Dad

Good Morning!

Today's layout is using the Sketches in Thyme sketch.  I love this sketch!


Normally, when I follow a sketch the first thing after I pick out my pictures and then pick their sizes.

Next I figure out what sizes to use for the various pieces of paper in the sketch and I write them on the sketch itself.  That way, if I love how it turns out I already have the sizes if I use it again!  Although if I really don't like it, I also know what sizes NOT to use.  LOL  For example, on this layout I wrote on the sketch to change the bottom patterned paper to 8 X 11 instead of 6 X 10.

If I'm not sure, I use some of the white paper that comes my scrapbooks and cut them into the sizes I think I want to use to make sure it all fits together nicely.  If I like it, I start cutting out my patterned paper and put my layout together.  I don't always do that for layouts,  but I almost always do it for cards.

{I REALLY should have done it with this sketch because I had the disadvantage of not having all my pictures printed, so I'm the first to admit I did NOT do the sketch justice.}

My layout....


The journaling says "Zach and Bentlee playing with the new toy Great Grandma bought!
Bentlee was ohh-ing and ahh-ing every time the balls popped up!"

The other two pictures for this sketch, when I get them printed....



Have a great day & thanks for all your lovely comments!
