Hey Everyone, it's Becky here with a Thursday sketch challenge! Here's the sketch for today:
Marcy joined me today and here's her awesome take on the sketch:
Here's what she had to say:
"I loved Becky's sketch and decided to follow it pretty much exactly. I had planned on using 2-3 photos in the top right color, having most of my embellishing on the top half, then having the bottom mostly empty except for journaling strips running down the center. Of course, as I started going it strayed from the sketch a bit. I basically ended up switching my journaling and my title around and also moving my title to the side.
I started my page by layering my photos onto one of the Here and Now Chapters pages from 9 to 5. I wish that pattern were a paper! From there I layered on my papers and embellishments, using mostly Cakewalk, 9 to 5 and Midway."
As always, I adore Marcy's style!
Here's my layout based on the sketch:
I also used a page from the Here and Now pages from the Woodland Park collection as my photo base. Love that little bicycle with the basket full of flowers!
Here's my little added challenge: try to do a little more journaling. I've noticed that recently I haven't been journaling quite as much. I write a little on each page, but nothing more than a line or two. I'm going to challenge myself to up it here and there among my pages too.
We would love to see what you make based on this sketch! Please post on the OA Flickr gallery.
Enjoy your day!
Love the sketch and bicycle paper!:)

I really like both of these layouts. Becky, is your journaling done the margin of an old book page? Brilliant! Cannot wait to try this
