Sketch 34
This 11 photo sketch was inspired by scraps! Yep, scraps. I was given some scraps by my friend Christine, and decided they were enough for a layout, just as they are. All I had to do was figure out the arrangement… and here you are! The half circle on the right side of the layout is actually cut out of the larger piece of paper, but you don’t have to do it like that if you don’t want to.
The layout is different from the sketch in that I only used 8 photos. Using fewer photos allowed me to have a larger title, to include the cute crab embellishment (I couldn’t resist, even though I haven’t used a die cut in years!) and to include more journaling (part of the Sea Lion brochure). I used 3 patterns and 3 solids.

I wish my scraps were that big! Awesome job
I went to San Francisco this Spring and I wish I’d gotten such fabulous photos. Mine were mostly of the sea lions and starfish. I wish I could go back
Once again, an awesome layout!

Finally, a site that really LOVES using more than one photo, uses them well, TELLS THE STORY and has FUN with patterned paper! You totally inspire me! Thanks!
