i was asked to contribute to another sketch for the got sketch blog this past week. if you're into 2-page sketches, valerie just announced a super fun online class. check the blog for all the details. here is my take on sketch #90. be sure to check out the other contributors and the great layouts they came up with.
a pretty simple layout. which i love doing from time to time. although the girls must not get "simple". alyssa kept asking me if i was going to add more stuff. and sarah asked if i was going to finish it. lol! i'm not even sure how i came up with these photos. but these are some that i took of my brother and sister-in-law, and my sister, back at christmas. guess they deserve to be in our scrapbook albums too ;)
supplies -
pattern paper - my mind's eye
transparent tree - my mind's eye
chipboard letters - american crafts
gems - michaels, my mind's eye, creative cafe
ink - colorbox
Hey, I didn't give you permission to use my image on your blog or your scrapping! Just kidding of course.
Simple is good. Fewer things to clutter or mess it up.

I love the little tree :) And simple is GREAT! You're right... sometimes we forget to scrap other people that are important to us, too. At least, I know I do! I'm so focused on my little dude, but really, there are LOTS of people who belong in a scrapbook about our lives :)
