Sonshine!!

....using a sketch by Anam Stubbington for a My Mind's Eye sketch challenge, (due November 19).

Usually, one is able to recognize my sketch interpretations much more closely. But, I strayed a bit from my original plan, this time, mostly because of the movement in these photos. The base of my layout is precisely like the sketches with the exception of the circle shape. My bottom shape is most similar to the large journal spots' shape from the sketch. Then, the next layered patterned paper is matted. I decided to use the sun paper from the Ooh La La collection, and chose a coordinating plaid from that collection for the bottom strip.

I had a lot of fun with the sun, cutting, folding, layering, sparkling and penning!

I chose papers and accessories from four different major lines, Ooh La La, Tres Jolie, Signature Life and Wild Asparagus. Everything on here, except the bling and ink is My Mind's Eye. The large flowers were made similar to my "taboo?" layout, (details shown in link), except I chose different shapes and flipped them for the petals here. This time, I used a square, and a scalloped circle for each of the larger flower's petals. The smaller flowers were made from punches, and I doodled in them for dimension on the insides:



"Play" is bordered with layers of cut scalloped circles. My placement of everything ended up working around the parts of the photos that I wanted to leave showing,...especially the splashes of water that I loved.

Thanks for coming by. And, thank you Scrapbook News and Review staff and participants and my consistent Willow Traders friends, for the awesome hops last weekend. I never visited so many blogs in one weekend!

Congrats Natalie! You were drawn for the border punch.
