I needed a design for these cute pictures of my kids trying on their dad's suit coat, so I whipped up a sketch featuring two uncropped 4" x 6" photos and lots of banners. This layout actually moved me a little out of my comfort zone with mixed media (used a spray pen and purple ink to mist the base cardstock under the vellum, and painted the wooden hearts white), some stitching (not my forte), and the very restrained color scheme, but I love how it turned out! If you would like to play along with the sketch challenge, feel free to adapt it for your photos, and please post a link to your completed layout in the comments section below.
