Stamp Scrap Diva: Get Inspired Sketch #2

So Ronda over at Stamp Scrap Diva has decided to alternate her weekly Get Inspired Sketch between a scrapbook layout and a card.  So for her Sketch #2 it's a wonderful three photo layout that definitely inspired my creativity.  Of course, I remain behind the schedule of the Get Inspired Sketch's ... hopefully I will get caught up VERY soon!

The scrapbook page is of my sweet little grand-baby Caroline.  These photos were taken at the hospital and through a series of mistaken opportunities my daughter missed purchasing these gems.  I procured them with the aid of some questionable software which explains the watermark on the photos.  I have yet to meet this precious little girl but remain hopeful that I'll get to hold her soon and tell her just how much she is loved.

Welcome Caroline

Stamp Scrap Diva: Get Inspired Sketch #1

So two weeks ago, my friend Ronda of Stamp Scrap Diva began her own sketch challenge "Get Inspired Sketch" and I wanted to participate but was in the midst of doing a mini Christmas album for my mother (scrapbooking takes me a very, very long time.) When I finally finished (a chorus of alleluia's were heard) and then I started on the card. A week later I am finally posting my intepretation of Ronda's wonderful sketch. I'm afraid that I'm not much of a clean and simple cardmaker so you'll have to overlook my patterned paper and extra embellishments. Incidentally, I'm finding these days, that Always Artichoke is becoming my go-to color - I am so drawn to the richness of the color and it's ability to pair with so many others.
