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!
