. This is my take on sketch. I really enjoyed doing the "blast from the past" layout. Ihave never done one before and really enjoyed doing this one of myself. It brought back some special memories that I was able to share with my husband. Now I am going to do a mirror image of him as a boy and now as a man. When I get it finished I plan to hang them in our bedroom. The paper line I used was "Life Stories" by Mind's Eye. At the top of my page I used the description sheet and from the package and I also used it to do my squares at the bottom of the page. The square are 3" and than I punched out 1 1/2" squares, inked them and placed them on pop dots. Pot Dots always give great dimension to any project.
I love to ink my edges and with layout it really makes everything "jump" from the page, especially since all of the papers are muted and shades of pinks and kraft.
