Sketch of the Week

As promised, I just wanted to share my page that I made this weekend based on Shimelle's sketch. It started out with 2 photos of my last year's cherry blossoms but it didnt' feel right to put them both horizontally. One of the photos was taken in portrait and I panicked because I'm not good at turning sketches around. After laying the photos, I had another challenge. I had these 3 patterned papers of flowers that I wanted to use for my theme but I didn't know how to put them together. Until finally I thought, hmmm, why not turn the embellishments on the sketch as my photos and just cut these patterned papers as the photos on the sketch? And here's the result....

I used a combination of old and new SC kit again with the new Dear Lizzy pretty chipboard embellishments.

I kept the page as simple as possible and I wanted to see everything spring on my page: the colors, the photos of cherry blossoms, the new spring embellishments. Thank you to my honey who actually adviced me to keep it as simple, the way it is... It just makes me smile as much as it does, whenever I pass by this tree on my way to work. And thank you to this sketch challenge that it did challenge me to think outside the box and to finally do something with my spring photos. I guess it also helped that the weather is just as beautiful that I got so inspired to do this page. I have it displayed on our mantel now as part of the celebration...

I love spring: it's my favorite time of the year! How about you?
