The Pretty Little Studio blog had a sketch challenge last Tuesday which you can read about
here.
And this is the sketch...
If you know me, you know how much I love grid designs :) So much fun!
And here is my take on the sketch...
using one of my favorite photos from last year! I did change the sketch a tiny bit by putting the title at the top and reworking the grid. But it's a page I really love :)
Journaling:
On your first day of Kindergarten, your Mimi came up to see you. Daddy took this photo capturing the moment when Mimi was talking to you with your face cupped in her hands. And the love for her just shone out of your eyes. You love your Mimi so, so much and it shows! August 2012
I did some distressing of the polka dot paper from the Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic line. I also used some chalk ink by ColorBox in Yellow Citrus to color the white fabric letters and added some Stickles in Frosted Lace to add a touch of glitter shine.
The tag with my journaling is actually up on pop dots to add a little more depth.
Today I see they have a new sketch challenge up on the
Pretty Little Studio blog. I may have to give this one a shot, too. :)
