Today's layout inspired by the December 2018 Let's Get Sketchy sketch:
"Proof"
"Madison is not a girly-girl; she hates pink! She also hates pants; she wears shorts 365 days a year. But here's proof she used to wear BOTH!"
As you can see I changed the sketch just slightly. Besides using a vertical photo, instead of a horizontal photo, I also changed the direction of the bottom triangle.
I've mentioned before (a couple of times) I'm not very good w/ using triangles as a design element so I felt the need to switch the bottom triangle around to make it more appealing to me.
So, you're probably wondering why I chose to participate in a Sketch Challenge w/ triangles as it's main element?
Your guess is as good as mine!
But I'm glad I did because I love the layout and I scrapped a photo that has been sitting on my desk for nearly 4 years!
The BG is from Bazzill Basics, the date spot is a digital from Elle's Studio, the journaling spots are Avery self -stick file labels and the Emoji pieces are from Simple Stories.
EVERYTHING else is from Nikki Sivils.
Who else remembers Nikki Sivils?
I still have quite a bit of her products in my stash!
Which just goes to show you, though I'm constantly buying new stuff...
I do make it a point to go through and use my stash also.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful page, love the papers. I remember Nikki S. I used to love her collections! Thanks so much for playing along at LGS!
ReplyDeleteDoreen - I love this layout! You did a great job with that sketch - even if you don't care for working with triangles. I came across a photo of my daughter this past week - with a similar story - she was in camo pants and black lace-up boots when she was about 12. When I showed her the photo she just said - that needs to go away! I remember Nikki Sivils, too, and I think it's great that we keep putting forth the effort to use up our stash!
