Sketches Can be a Pain in the Buttisimo

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "I don't like sketches!" I could probably dish them out, but I lose my scrapbooking mojo and get that feeling of nails scratching on a chalkboard when I have to attempt another sketch. I like to do my own thing and that's usually whatever the photos tell me to do. 

Yes! Photos talk to me telepathically! They say "put me there" or "crop me this way" or "use these colors."

But I still do sketches and even though I don't like them, I like the challenge and the learning experience...and my first ScrapTiffany sketch was definitely a challenge:


This is my take on the sketch:


I used part of the contact sheet on the layout because it just worked and shows other photos from the same day (even though some of the photos are flipped the wrong way). I  also doodled in place of the stitching on the sketch and "F is for fun" because my family had a blast at a Toledo Mudhens game on Father's Day 2010:


Here's a closer look of one of the flowers: 


You can see other scrapbook layouts and cards created from the sketch on the ScrapTiffany blog. And if you ever lose your scrapbooking mojo, read Eric's Load of Scrap series on Finding Your Scrapbooking Mojo (the link goes to Part 3).
