The Big Picture

I love to do layouts with oversized photos, but it is hard.  You have to think in a completely different way, but it is totally worth it (or at least I hope so anyway).  I loved this photo of my oldest son from a few years ago too much to scale it down any smaller.  I have tried to scrap it a couple of times with no success.  When I saw the May guest design team challenge sketch at Sketchy Thursdays I knew it was finally time.  The sketch had alot of white space around the photo so I knew it would be easy to incorporate a larger photo.  My favorite thing about the Sketchy Thursday sketches is that they give just enough design but there is still plenty of opportunity to make the sketch your own. 


I made this page with my April Studio Calico kit in about 20 minutes, the pages that just fall together like that are always my faves.  Every page I have made with this months kit has been this way :)! thanks for looking and if youre playing along let me know so I show you some love.
