I'm coming off a very busy weekend, and am having a hard time catching up on everything. I spend three fabulous days teaching at CKU (more on that later), attended a family wedding, and spend hours pouring over submissions for Bella Blvd's design team call. The craziness never seems to end. Over the weekend, I also had a layout go up on the Bella Blvd blog for our Saturday Sketch feature.
{Sketch by Becky Fleck}
I decided to turn the sketch on it's side for my layout, since I had vertical photos that I wanted to use. I dug out these super old photos of Sarah and a few of the daycare kids playing in the backyard on a hot summer day. I love finding everyday photos that I havn't scrapped yet, when digging around on my external hard drive.
I ended up skipping the circle element on the sketch, and just placed my title in that same general area. I used a mix of pink chipboard alphas and yellow alpha stickers.
I'm sure you have figured out by now that I love using this graph pattern paper on so many of my layouts. It's just a really nice neutral paper to use, in place of white cardstock. And it makes lining things up super easy, with all those lines to use as guides.
Wow! You're sounding crazy busy! I love how your layout turned out and how great the sketch looks turned on it's side. :)

Graph paper is awesome.

this is just FABULOUS! I really like the punched paper look and the touch of buttons!

LOVE! Love the trio of buttons in the corner...those colors look yummy together. And I love the two flower ones on your chip alphas!

What a gorgeous layout and I love the sketch I am going to have to dig up some pictures so that I can create this!
