This week's sketch is based on a page from the Lawn Party gallery by the fabulous Kelly Noel. I adore the way that Kelly centered her photo on her page - to make it the true focal point of her layout. And her funky circle accents work so well to bring the page alive.
When I went to work from Kelly's sketch - I decided to build upon the idea of the central photo, and add in a second, smaller, supporting shot. The photos on my page are nothing special - just snapshots taken while we were blowing bubbles outside one afternoon - but the addition of layered circle punches around my photo (ala Kelly's page!) really helps to add to the theme and playful feel that I was going for here. I shifted my title over a bit from where Kelly's was, and also just took the liberty to fit in my journaling block where it happened to work best for my page. Which is the great thing about sketches - you are free to make them your own!
Supplies: Cardstock, leftovers from my Lawn Party kit, Sideshow paper, Wood Veneer Hearts, County Line Paper, Label Stickers Countryside
I can't wait to see what everyone creates from this creative sketch this week. Be sure to post your layout to the gallery and link it to the comments section in this post, for your chance to win a $5 Studio Calico gift card!

Was totally inspired by the circles - but, my layout looks a bit different. Used Maggie's layout for inspiration.
