This weeks sketch uses 4 photographs, which made it more challenging for me as I generally only use 1 or 2 but I really loved putting this page together.
I used photographs of the children taken earlier this month, on the beach in Sussex and it felt so 'summery' to me, though I did not use typical beach tones but went with red and blue as my key colours. I loved the Sassafrass patterned paper that is used across the middle and also as the scalloped edging and I was in stash busting mode as I used up some embellishments that have sat unopened for too long! I was pleased with the final result, called 'Spades in the Sand' and hope that you will use this great sketch to create a page of your own to share with us over at Scrappin' Silhouettes
I seriously need to take better photographs of my big old Layouts so if you have any tips on how to make them look better/more professional I am all totally open to suggestions!
I would also like to enter this LO into the 'Holiday' challenge over at Creative Craft world.
That is gorgeous Furry, think I better get looking at my photos and find some that go with the layout to join in as I do like it :)
ReplyDeletelove your take on the sketch, great photos and I love the colours, congratulations on getting on the team. Love Ness xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your layout :-)
ReplyDeleteI've found that my layouts look better when I prop them up on an easel to photograph them. I picked up a cheap easel at The Works x

Beautiful layout and fantastic take on the sketch! I love your choice of photo's and dp!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the Silhouette Ruth! It's great to be working with you :)
ReplyDeleteTo take my photos i usually tack the LO to a wall near a window and take it square on or lay it on the floor in the garden and stand directly over it. I struggle with photographing pages too!
Gorgeous page, congrats on your new DT place. Thanks for joining us at Creative Craft World & good luck.
