My layout today combines my four Scrapbooking loves...
1. 6x6" paper pads
2. water themes
3. sketches
4. hand-stitching
This layout is from my Scrapbooking with 6x6" Paper Pads: One-page Sketches class. This was one of my favorite sketches in the bunch! I customized it a little to go with my swimming theme by turning 6 x 1" horizontal strips into wave strips.
One of the best things about 6x6" papers is that the patterns are shrunken down so you can cut smaller strips like this and still see a significant portion of the pattern. Sometimes with larger patterns, when cut into smaller strip you lose a lot of that pattern. That rarely happens with 6x6" papers!
To help the wave design of the strips to stand out, I added hand-stitching along the wave edge of each one. I wanted that wave design to be bold, but sometimes when you are layering multiple patterns on top of each other the edge gets lost. Stitching was the perfect solution. If you didn't want to do stitching you could make sure you are layering contrasting colors on top of each other or use ink along the wave edges.
To go with my swimming theme I also used watercolor and a brush to spray some droplets on the white cardstock base. Then I used some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Sea Breeze to add a few water drops throughout that watercolor spray.
I also added some fun ocean/water themed embellishment to kind of create a scene within the wave design. I used coral, fish, a big yellow submarine, and a jellyfish.

Rosillo, whose titanic square-cased BR link 01 became one of the icons of the 2000s, link adds that what being French brings to a watch has nothing to do with precision engineering anyway. "I walk across the Seine every day and my office is by the Arc de Triomphe," he says. "I've been to link the Louvre more than 300 times. What you put in a watch is what you have received from your culture. But is it important to have the French flag on a watch? No, I don't think so."
Dealing with flowers and plants, a medium that doesn't last forever, is something that I find link really interesting. I have a conversation with them. Sometimes they respond predictably or unpredictably. That is what I find really interesting. link Creating something link incomplete is also part of the artwork.
