Oscar: A Layout for Sketches in Thyme

Sketches in Thyme #104

 

Here is the original sketch #104:

 

My goal for 2013 is to use the supplies and collections I already have, and only purchase adhesives and photo prints!  So, everything in my layout is from my stash!  I had big fun with this sketch, and chose to take 1 great photo of Oscar the mule and crop it into 6 equal parts!  I used fibers, twines, ribbon ends, and some old paper scraps!  It feels good to use what I have and to be a good steward of my blessings!

My Monet: A Layout for Pagemaps 6th Anniversary

My Monet

My little painter, creating his first finger painting in 2010.  He was just as excited to be able to touch the paints, and smell them, as he was to paint with them!

This layout is inspired by the Pagesmaps 6th Anniversary celebration sketch below:

And here is the link to the contest page:

So, So Big!

So, So Big!   I am famous for taking 50-75 photos of my son, when probably a handful would suffice, but I feel like I never know what I might get in the photos if I take a bunch!  Subtle differences, tiny movements, a nuance of an expression.....precious are those photo frames!  I am also famous for not measuring anything on my layouts, and being more of an "eyeballer" when placing elements!  So, there you have it!  Add in diagonal stripes on patterned paper, and here is what you get!  I didn't journal, but basically, Ezra is feeding himself completely without my help or hovering!
