Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers~


Good morning~I have found my "go to" sketch~ thanks to Shimelle.  The three pictures across the bottom  really works for me.  I love the outcome everytime. No second guessing!!!  It is not to late for you to participate in this FREE class sponsored by 2Peas. 


The pattern paper is by Kaiser/Shaken Not Stirred Collection.  The paper collection is not current but very fitting for these photos.  The close-up is showcasing the title area.   The effect of using two different sizes of sticker letters ~ is quite nice!!  The large letters are by American Crafts and the small ones by Cosmo Cricket.


This is a close-up of the bottom cluster.  Boy clusters always seem simple~no frills,simple. I like that!!  The "dog card" is by October Afternoon and adhered to the page with Helmar. This blog post was an assignment for Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers by Shimelle.  The class is amazing and I'm learning so much about the world of blogging~
Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful Easter weekend!!!

    Love that little truck in front of the layout. And the layout is beautifully photographed as well. Nothing like a simple sketch to repeat and repeat :D I'm a digital scrapbooker and I use digital templates for a lot of my pages, if not I usually make my own templates before I add photos and papers - makes it so much easier.

    This is a great page! I have always found that 3 vertical 4x6's lined up or 3 horizontal 4x6's lined up ALWAYS works! Your photos are so cute, love how you presented them. Thanks for your kind comments - I've signed up to follow you too! :)
