working with sketches

I have to say that I didn't really a sketch follower -- I will modify any lovely sketch and sometimes it just turns out to be something differently. But on the other hand, I have to admit to work with a sketch is easier and faster if you have lots of pictures waiting to be scrapped.

Based on the sketches from Inspired Blueprints, I have created the followings:

These were over due since last year, papers are from Cosmo Cricket and Vintage Plum.

I seldom do 2 pages layout but with so many pictures from the Singapore trip, I decided to follow sketch # 26 which allows me to put more pictures instead just one or two.

I converted the sketch #27 into a 8.5 * 11 layout. The prima flower and vine is my favourite.

I am also a follower of another sketch community: Pencil Lines. Recently I have done a few based on their lovely sketches:

I like the last sketch the most, just can't stop looking at the multi layered effect.

Also I finished my kaisercraft's clock using Basic Grey's kraft kuts paper, I am a blue person afterall, anything blue caught my eyes straight away!!

Well, well, can't believe that my holiday will ends in two weeks' time, what can I say...

What's on my mind?

Children, students and my father.

Those are the things that constantly on my mind.

I often wonder what's on other's mind, well, just try to understand others better.

Very much enjoyed playing with Page  Maps's sketch, here's my take:

I took this picture of little Rafeeqa some time last year, she waited a few months for her hair to grow longer enough to tie a pony tail, or shall I say -- pig tail.  She was very delighted that day, went out to explore in our garden by picking all sorts of flowers.  She was riding on her wooden rocking horse when I saw her staring at the house next door.  She was very calm, more like in some sort of deep thoughts, and with this beautiful orchard in her hair.

What was on her mind at that very moment? I was wondering and I am still wondering now, what was she thinking about? Why was she looking at the window of next door neighbour?  I don't think I could find out the answer. It could be anything, anything interested her and kept her busy, but most of all, I just knew she was happy, she was very much into her own world which amazed her on that day!

Material used in this layout: MME bella bella pp and die cut, AC fabric letter stickers, Webster's pages pp,  Pebblesinc's pebbles chips, Jenni Bowlin's letter sticker, tag, button, felt bird, and Heidi Swapp's bling and clock.

Have a nice start of the week!
