over at WIP this week? janelle always drops off great sketches.so i took the bite...
and this is my version...
so tell me...can you still see the sketch in there? i'm like lisa...i get an idea and then it takes on a life of it's own. but that is what i live for.
it's hard to see in the picture at the top in the layout, but those are three of my kids, with one of them peeking back at me as i took the photo. when i viewed this, it just hit me. these simple great kid days need to be remembered. we were basically lost on this day trying to find a group at that park. we had never visited this park before, but were so happy to get lost in it and discover all it's greatness. and then to see my daughter peek back at me just really touched a little emotion in me. being a kid is so fleeting. they don't think so, but it flies by so fast. i want them to remember what it was like to be here, on this day, just...simply...being. frankly, i think we all need to get lost more often.
i decided to stop before i cleaned up and make a card inspired by the layout. the sketch is now completely lost in this card, but it really was a jumping off place.
so where does your creativity take you, when you think you know where you are going?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! The papers and that picture are perfect together!
ReplyDeleteLove the layout and the card! The pics on the layout are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the sketch! I like both the LO and card.
ReplyDeleteHi there Jamie!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the sketch!
I might have a go at it .
I especially like how you've "streched" the colors out of your picture! The card is great, that white space really draws the eyes onto the main focus!
xox
I see the sketch - of course I do - we are two peas :) I love when something starts my inspiration and I make it my own. Jamie - the layout is lovely - the journaling is so touching. Your children (beautiful kids!) are so lucky to have these treasures. Some day they will peruse through the albu,s and really know how thoughtful their mom was to document so many shaping moments!
ReplyDeleteOh, so much going on in this great layout! Love the paper strips, the subtle swiss dot background, the popped up smaller pic and especially the green cs mat that extends the walk - love it! I also wish I had your handwriting :o)
ReplyDeleteUm, yes to your question... that is the SC stamp (bought it from a willow...).
beautiful~ i love how you took time to make a card, as well! they are both beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout and card! The color combo is perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW Jamie!!! I am blown away! I did like the sketch to start with but your interpretation is absolutely gorgeous!! I love, love, love it!!! And even the card rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sketch and lovely creations you've there as well! They're all beautiful and stunning! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one fabulous diversion from the sketch! Great way to work with those papers.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous,...and the scallop circle with the button flower is just the cutest touch!
I love how you interpreted the sketch, the layout came out great and so touching and true are the thoughts of that fleeting childhood!
ReplyDeleteI can see the sketch too--and I love what you did with it! I'm a true sketch whore you know...and I use them the exact same way...a start. Always inspiring--that's you!!
ReplyDeleteI love your work and the sketch.
ReplyDeleteJamie...as always, thanks for your kind words. Feel free to lift any time. My sisters and I always stayed in line but we did have fun...so beware (hee hee)!
