March Challenge Completed.... I hope

Lynne, it's gorgeous!!! Wonderful journaling aswell. :) I love the stickers you used on the LH page and all the colours works perfectly together. I had the same problem you had with this challenge, not knowing how much of the sketch is open for personal interpretation. I was even unsure about the sizes of the photos! I've seen in the CK some of her sketches and she also don't always follow it that closely. I loved looking at your LO! Thanks for sharing.

Love your March Challenge LO's Lynne...you did a great job! The colours are perfect...I love the little flower print, and what a cute subject matter....baby being born :o) Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed looking through your albums. You wonderful LO's. I also liked your spring border title that you made. The lady bugs are adorable.

Thank you Judy. Something else that made me feel good about this LO was I used all the things I had on hand. No shopping for this LO. I couldn't even find my folder of solid colored paper. Been missing since the roof castrophe. I figure it's in a box some where. Any how I dug around and found some solid paper give to me in a swap and it matched perfectly. The background paper was something that I didn't really care for and kept skipping over, but it worked perfectly here. My friend loves flowers and she has her daughter dressed very girlie these days.

I don't usually put pictures of other people's children in my albums, but I figured since this was such a special day she asked me to help her with I really wanted to remember it with a LO. Speaking of other friend's children I've been thinking of starting a LO of just a collage of photos given to me over the years.

Thank you Linda. I dug these all up in my stash. I felt good about that.

Thanks Chrissy.

The spring border was fun to make. I made I think 12 of them for a swap. The lady bug stickers I had bought didn't have a clear edging... it was white and I didn't like the white border for what I was doing so I used the sticker as a pattern and did paper piecings.

Love it!! The colors are perfect!! You did a great job!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Tabitha.

I have the exact same paper I've been skipping over too. Your LO looks great with it. I'm going to have to dig it out and use it now. Thanks for sharing your LO. I have Becky Higgins first book of sketches and she doesn't follow them to a tee either. She uses them as a loose guide to go by. Sandy

I finally got to the computer to see... what a lovely layout! I thinl the colorws are great, the buttons in all the right places and you did follow the spirit of the sketch. I'd call it a well done challenge!

Yeah M-C I've been waiting for your stamp of approval.

Lynne, very nice LO! I really like the colors and the fiber you chose. I think all sketches are open to personal interpertation....

Well it was my first time and I really wasn't sure. It was the fiber across the middle I wasn't sure about. Would it count as the vertical element it mine was fiber and a really thin line and not the thicker line picture. Then my photos were so big and had to cut one out of the LO to the 3 part element along the bottom of the right hand page. I knew one of the 3 didn't have to be a photo and chose to do a thin journaling box. Next time I won't be so nervous now that I know some personal interpretation is OK.

Lynne

Love you layouts Lynne. The colors are perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Lynn your lo is great. The paper and colors are great.

LOL, why would anyone wait for my stamp of approval! To me it's all about creativity. But I have to admit I thought working with a sketch would be a little boring, but it was a lot of fun!

I am sorry I haven't been on much and am way behind in posting the challenges. I've had the flu complicated by bronchitis and a sinus infection. Finally went to the Doc yesterday who put me on antibiotics and an inhaler. I've been feeling puny as Kenda says and sleeping a whole bunch! Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and I'll be back to my old self! I've been down to the scraproom about 1 hour in the last week!

Bummer.......hope you get to feeling better soon. Sandy
