Sketches in Thyme

-
Here I am sharing my latest post for Sketches in Thyme.

Each month the Mavens over at Sketches in Thyme share some great layouts based on brilliant sketches. Make sure you pop over and check them out.

This month the first sketch I have been working with is....


Here is my take on this gorgeous sketch...



I have used the gorgeous Echo Park papers ~ Sweet Girl. Jo @ Scrapbookit sent them to me to work with for the Scrapbookit Design Team and I just can't get enough of them at the moment!!!!!
There is a bit of Tim Holtz Distress paint and white paint on the background so that the patterned paper wasn't so stark.

This photo of my gorgeous niece Charlotte was taken not long before they moved to Virginia Beach, USA. She was and still is such a cutie!

Make sure you pop on over to Sketches in Thyme - sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com.au to see the rest of the teams gorgeous work.

Anyway I best be off....I am busy packing and organising for a weekend of scrapping, relaxation and fun with all of the wonderful Scrapbookit Team, my sisters and my Mum! Can't wait!

Hope you have a great weekend,

I apologise for the photos.....I didn't have any luck snapping good shots! I used a variety of photos from her birth in the hospital to some of the first photos of her smiling. I only completed the first section of the book and have since handed the rest over to my sister to add her own touches to the book. I best be off.......I...

A few days ago I received an extremely exciting email! After applying to be part of the Scrap That Poetry Design Team, the lovely Jennifer Campbell emailed me to say that I had been accepted!! I am just so thrilled to be a member of such a wonderful blog and with a group of such talented ladies. For those of you who don't know Scrap That Poetry I recommend that you pop on over and have a look.
