So, as we always say on Sketchy Thursdays, our sketches are for your inspiration, they're a starting point. Feel free to rotate, flip, whatever. I took that advice with my layout and both flipped and rotated it:
Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do to work with the orientation of pic you have. For some reason I was determined that this was the pic I was going to work with today, no matter what. I just love this pic.

I love that you can see the, what are they called, fluffs?, being blown off the dandilion. I love that there's one on the left side that's closer and therefore more prominent than the rest. I love the way the sun is shining off and through my daughter's hair. I realize I've scrapped quite a few "blowing" pics with her this year...bubbles, dandilions...but there's just something so magical about those kind of pictures.

The quote says, "Within your heart keep one, still, secret spot where dreams only go." I covered a vintage dictionary page with some transparent-ish masking tape so the quote would show up well.
Played with my Tim Holtz crackle paint!!! How cool is that stuff??!! Easy crackle and it comes with it's own brush! Too cool! I covered a wood frame with it and then topped it with some ink to age it a little more. It's on the chipboard butterfly, too, that I first rubbed with ink. There's also a crackle "frame" on the paper.

Had a bit of fun with the sewing machine and wire this time, too.
~corner detail~
Both the paper and the button in the upper right corner are from my December Torendi kit Modern Red. I wish I would've had more time this month to play with it. I still have soooo much left over!

ReplyDeletebeautiful layout, love the red stitching and tiny details
ReplyDeleteYou are right - that picture is truly awesome. I get the same feeling sometimes about a photo - I just have to scrap it and make it work for the sketch or theme I am scrapping. Love the details of your page here, as always! Wishing you the best in the new year Heidi!
