I Believe - Heidi Swapp and a sketch

Here is my last layout for the Sketch-a-thon at Memorable Seasons, you have until December 30th if you'd like to play along, to link up, click here.

This was my absolute favorite layout that I created with this kit.  First of all I was able to get ahold of the ephemera package (thank you Cassie at Paper Issues!) which was the perfect touch to create this, all those lovely bits and pieces!  I love this picture I took of the kids Christmas morning before opening the presents; I could have asked for anything at this point as they wanted to get started, lol!  I really wanted to keep this paper intact, but I was finding it hard to ground my picture and also embrace the floating stars.  By placing my photos in the stars (it really worked better with only 4 pics, but hey we had 5 kids then) and using a bold title I was able to create a flow through the whole page that was pleasing.  I made sure to use a few pops of black to make visual triangles.



Here is the sketch I created from my layout,



Thanks for stopping by, I'd love to see if you used any of my sketches just leave a comment and I will stop by!
