Take a Sketch and Make it Yours!

So - I've not really kept up with this little goal of mine - 

Here's to another try --

Before we even get started, let me say that 

I am NOT all about a perfect photo of my scrapbook pages.

I hope the photos shared here will give you inspiration to create your own; 

they will never be perfectly straight, or line up in a square...

 I just really don't have the time to devote to that.

And I apologize if that throws you off a bit -- 

I hope you use these ideas and make your own pages --

keeping mind, that in real life my lines are straight - ha.

 Cathy Zielske once suggested using advertisements as a base for our scrapbook layouts.

[Let someone else do the design for you -they get paid for good design, 

after all... or something like that. Ha.]

Anyway - I've been doing it [off and on] since then --

And I wanted to share a bit of the process with you each month,

so here we go - 

The Advertisement: 

I think I've used a similar advertisement already - lol - 

I'm really enjoying adding banners to may pages these days - 

so this really caught my eye -

The Sketch:

 So I sketched it out - 

just on some graph paper that I created on the computer - 

Roughly, two squares = one inch.

The Final Layout -

 

And, as you can see, even I cannot follow my sketches to the letter!

Again - used some of my instagram prints and a little title down in the corner - 

Life is Good -

I love it - 

And would love to see what you do with the sketch -
