Today's challenge is from Sketches In Thyme.
Here's the sketch:
And here is my layout:
I turned the sketch to fit the orientation of my photos.
These are some photos my daughter took, practicing her photo skills and enjoying the beauty that only winter and cold can create.
I tried to keep my layout simple so the focus would stay on the photos but I'm guessing I could have loaded it up and those photos would have still stood out. Just beautiful.
Thanks for stopping in!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I hope you have had a wonderful start to your new year and are ready to jump in and make it great!
I'm excited to see what it has to offer and how I can make it one of the best ever.
Today I'm sharing a layout I made for Scrap Our Stash.
I love that she's changes up the challenges every now and then to keep it fresh so when I saw this Wheel of Challenge I was super excited.
Our first challenge is a recipe challenge.
Use ONE word title
TWO photos
THREE Embellishment clusters
FOUR Patterned Papers
FIVE enamel/puffy dots, jewels or sequins
Here's my layout:
I love this challenge wheel and love recipe challenges so I was very happy with our first challenge this month.
Oddly enough the One word title ended up being a bit of a challenge but I think I pulled it off. 2 photos on a layout is my go to so that was pretty easy. 3 embellishment clusters is perfect for nearly any layout and just organizing how I wanted my patterned papers was the only "hard" part there. But I'll admit, limiting myself to 5 enamel dots was difficult! lol
Love this girl and how willing she is to always step up and help out. I do think she really enjoys a decorated house so she's out there pretty quick and loves spending time with her dad.
Thanks for stopping by!

Today I have this year's last Scrap Our Stash challenge for you.
It's another sketch challenge with a twist.
This is sketch is a really good design that works with lots of different photo types.
I used two photos on my layout.
I changed up the number of photos which is easy to do with a sketch design like this but otherwise kept the design of the sketch for my layout. As you can see it works really well. I used twine on my tag with journaling and finished up with some hand drawn faux stitches on my pattern papers and around the layout itself.
Thanks for stopping in!

You are going to love today's sketch from Sketches In Thyme!
It's a good one right? Simple and elegant.
I started with a kraft background to help my photos and page elements stand on their own a bit. I had these fun photos of my boy who seems to always have his head in a book, which is just a great way to spend your extra time if you ask me. So I looked for some papers that would represent imagination and/or adventure. I ended up using some elements from 3 different lines. One was a travel line, another was a Once Upon a Time line that ended up being perfect for these photos & the 3rd I stole the fun puffy stars from.
I hope you're enjoying some down time and a good book this month.
Thanks for stopping by!

Today's scrap our stash challenge is a fun one!
At first I was worried about the twist of adding 10 of either hearts, stars or circles, but it turned out to be easier than I thought.
I started with a splattered background, picked my papers and made 10 circles. Then I laid them out on the background and put my pictures over before deciding to matte them and then I added my embellishments, journaling along the bottom edge of my design and then finished up with a fun pen drawn border.
Thanks for stopping by!
