Here is my submission:
I've had this picture laying around for a while now. This is my mom with Sydney and Mikey. I used the green in his shirt as the basis for the whole layout. I turned the sketch on it's side to better suit my liking. I cut down a 12 X 12 piece of white textured cardstock by 1/4" on each side so that I could use the green as a matte. I then cut a strip of kraft cardstock to 4 1/2 and punched the scallop border. Next, I stamped the row of hearts in green onto the kraft piece, right under the border. Thank God for the Stamp-a-ma-jig! After that I tied a knot around the piece of kraft cardstock with some black ghingham ribbon, and added some paper piercing around the edges. I then attached that piece to my white textured cardstock. I stamped my heart tree in black ink onto a piece of pink cardstock, and cut it out. I wanted to take a bit of color from Sydney's pink shirt also. The sentiment was stamped in black onto a piece of the same textured white cardstock and I distressed the edges in pink. I added the the tree and sentiment with pop dots for a bit of dimension. The picture was double matted in white, then black, and then added to my page. I added three mini brads under the picture for some added interest and to tie in the other pink with her shirt as well. I attached the page to my green background and I was done. Check out all of my "white space"! Isn't it beautiful?! It took me a long time to be able to get to this point. I used to want to fill every little empty spot with something. I have to say I'm really digging the simplicity of this layout. And, it was easy peasy!
I can't wait for you to head over to the Unscripted Sketches blog to view this weeks sketch, and see what my fellow DT members have created for you. They're all wonderful! I'm hoping you'll play along with us as well. This was a fun sketch! If you'd like, you can also click on the DT's blog links on my sidebar for their project details.
