This week I have had some extra unexpected time (probably because I haven't been able to sleep) and was able to complete another sketch. Rather than wait until next week to post this sketch, I thought I would just post it today as a little surprise to all of my followers. I hope that this sketch inspires you to pull out your supplies or, if you scrapbook digitally, your My Digital Studio and get some pages completed.
This sketch would be great for those photos where you were rather far away from your subject. You can crop these photos down to fit the small size of the 5 photo boxes. I know I am always trying to figure out how to best showcase these types of photos and this sketch really works for that, don't you think.
On my page I used some of the new digital downloads from Stampin' Up: the paper daisies, Elegant Soiree paper (just beautiful)and the Always Elegant Kit.
Some of you may know, from reading previous posts, that my youngest son was diagnosed with autism when he turned three. At that point in his life he was non verbal, not potty trained and had more tantrums a day that I can count. You just never knew what would set him off and his lack of verbal skills made it all the more difficult to figure out. So, as you can image, at that point and time we would have never thought that he would be receiving awards for academic excellence in the future. When we were invited to the ceremony we knew he was getting some sort of award for getting all A's the whole year which is the President's Award for Academic Excellence. To our surprise he also received the other two awards for outstanding achievement in math and social studies. Yes, we were beaming! He has come such a long way, overcoming many hurtles (and still struggling with quite a few such as a lack of friends with his peers).
Well, enough of me rambling on, lol. If this sketch inspires you and you use it, please post a link to your creation in the comments section of this post so all of us can check it out!
Happy Stamping and Scrapping,
Ronda
Congrats to Jacob!!!
ReplyDeleteRonda, this is a great sketch and a great page. I am not a scrapbook person - just cards. I hope that I am right about this that others do use your sketches, but haven't shared their works of heart. Keep up the inspiration. Thanks for blessing my day. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Ronda,
ReplyDeleteI was looking through your blog at the 3-D items and saw the Movable Scrapbbook from Sept. '09, would you still have the directions or kit for that project. If so I am interested, please let me know. Love your projects and ideas. Thanks for sharing.
