{ FUN layouts }

layouts i did this morning!

This was of a sketch from 52 sketches 52 weeks.

this one was using a sketch from 52 sketches 52 weeks as well

This one i used a 12 x 16 photo i had printed for my house that ended up being to big for the frame so i trimmed it down to 12 x 12 and just used it as the base! it turned out cute!

{Owl Pals layout}

This is the layout for my page swap this month and the images that inspired it...

Uniquely You

When a pop up window on my computer opened advertising for a trip to the Bahamas i was instantly taken by the logo and saved the images to my computer.


while i was printing photo's and saw them on my computer i realized that i had the identical shapes on one of my cricut cartridges and decided to try a layout with it as a guide... i don't know if i love it... but here it is....
