Perfect Pitch

Sketch is from Sketches In Thyme and color challenge (red, white, lt. blue and blue) is from Color Me Scrappy. I couldn't get a good photo with my phone (colors show wrong) so I took a close-up of the journaling to show that the background is white and the paper is red.

Exploring Self

Sometimes it's hard to get a boyish feel to a layout, so besides using blue and brown as the colors, I used buttons, stars and cardboard. Sketch is from Boys Rule.

Pretty Thief

The challenge at Berry71Bleu is wings. I decided to use wings in the picture as well as butterflies for embellishments. While in Alaska I saw a magpie for the first time and thought is was so pretty. Later I was told that these birds are thieves, similar to the bluejays back home - stealing eggs from other birds' nests.

Tranquil

I used the same papers and flowers for a second scenic layout from the grounds of the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Sketch ia from Creative Scrappers.

Serenity

I used the sketch from Let's Capture These Sketches for another Alaska layout. These pictures are from the grounds of the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

Illuminate

I turned the sketch from Artful Delight sideways for this layout of the jellyfish at the Milwaukee Zoo. I love how these animals were lit.

dude

I used the sketch from Frosted Designs and the challenge to use silver from Lasting Memories for this layout of my grandson looking cool. Since the photo was black and white and the sketch in black, white and gray I thought black, white and silver would be perfect for the photo.
