If you have come here from
Crystal's blog, then you are on the right path, If you have lost your place you can go back to the main blog
here. So without further ado here is my take on the sketch.
This is a layout of my Aunt that passed away August 2012. I would say she was like a mother figure for me but she was sooo much more than that, she was my friend. I could talk to her about anything and I mean ANYthing and she always offered sage advice. In her prime she was fun to hang out with and was a big flirt. So with the theme of
"Love grows where the heart is...", my heart can't grow any larger than for the love that I have for my Aunt Bert. I use to stress when using a sketch to get my layout to look exactly like the sketch but now I can look at a sketch purely for inspiration and get my layouts done even quicker.

ReplyDeleteAnd I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it appear like some of the remarks appear as if they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on additional places, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you list of all of your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
