Hello everyone & Happy Wednesday!!! Super excited to be here to share this month's sketch challenge - YAY!!! Here is the sketch for July . . .
Now, if you are not a fan of using small pics, no worries!!! You are more than welcome to use simply one pic or as I did, pile up a whole bunch :) The layout I created is full of scrappy goodness from the July Boardwalk kit. I recently took a bunch of Instagram pics of the kiddos playing in the pool at Grammy's and wanted to document all the fun they had. None of the pictures were showstoppers, but I just loved how they displayed how much fun they all had that day!!!
I machine stitched the circle border, but made sure to leave some space for those flower elements depicted in the sketch. I used the gorgeous My Minds Eye rub-ons from the kit to create little clusters of flowers. I also used my exact knife to cut away part of the "hello there" pennants on the Echo Park journaling card. This allowed me to tuck my photo underneath them :)

Love this sketch so much and I am a big fan of letting the photos tell the story which yours do so well here! The pool, the watermelon, the swimsuits, looks like a super fun Summer day!
I adore your sketch! That stitched circle is fabulous. What a beautiful layout~!
I'd like to post my take on the sketch to the forum -- I'm waiting on my approval. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
