Seeing Double!!

Hey there ladies! I am sooo super excited to share Right at Home Scrapbooking's August sketch with you today! I have been creating sketches for Right at Home for awhile now, but this is a first for me...a 2 PAGE LAYOUT SKETCH!!! With 4 kiddos to scrapbook, doubles are a must sometimes. So anytime I can sneak one in, I do. Today I took the double page sketch and created a double, but I have 4 additional layouts to share this month. So, I promise to show you a single variation of the sketch. Here is a look at the sketch and my layout, but make sure you keep reading because there is a PRIZE this month!!!

I had a great time with this sketch!! The best part...6 photos...one complete event...DONE!! And as always a sketch is purely meant to inspire, so I changed it a bit to accommodate my supplies. These pics were just perfect for Bo Bunny's Sun Kissed Collection. Basically, I had to figure out a way to get that sprinkler on the same layout as these pics...and I did! Instead of the journaling being in the block of pics, I chose to have the journaling go along the bottom of the pics. This in turn gave me enough space to add that super cute sprinkler and hose! I also changed the top a bit. Instead of patterned paper running across the top of the pics, I braided crepe paper to add dimension. The flower then became a sun. Just perfect for my summery theme. Super fun, huh?

Ok, now the prize!! Take a look...
