Sketch #52 12x12

Today's sketch has a fuzzy spot in the blank space - why not try a mist, splatter some paint, or use a masking technique?


For my example I used the beautiful "Be Mine Collection" by Echo Park.


Here is a really great, really funny page from Joni Parker, Check out close ups and details on Joni's Blog HERE.

Sketch #51 12x12

A few people have requested layouts using bigger photos because it really is tough to use those 5x7 and 4x6 photos on the same page and still have room for a bit of embellishment. I decided a big shape thrown in would work with the big photo too. Think of shapes like a sunshine, flower, snowflake, christmas tree...


For my example I did crop my photos down a bit. They had wasted space in them and I wanted a really big snowflake to fit. :) My photos are 5x6" and 4x5" but the larger photos will fit just as well. For close ups of my page visit my blog HERE.
