OK ladies......here is our reveal, finally!!! I chose a sketch from Stickers 'n' Fun Scrapbooking ---------August 2006. I was instantly drawn to it!
The sketch went on its way to JoAnne, who came up with this beautiful LO:
JoAnne kept true to the sketch! I love how she turned the upper left circle into a flower. She kept with the "rays" by adding ribbon with a cute bow. JoAnne was worried that she could not add more embellies....................no worries! I love how she added bling and hearts. BTW, the hearts match the heart necklace in the photo! The photo is amazing!
Next to receive the LO was Laura (Moongirl)............she switched it up a bit:
I love how Laura turn the sketch into a double page LO................ Oh how fabulous!!!! The photos are tremendous!!! She kept the circle but turned them into starbursts. Laura commented that it took her alllll afternoon to handstitch her LO! The results are fabulous!!!! She moved the title to the middle left and added journalling. Another great LO!!
Laura sent it off to Amanda (Okanogangirl)................who came up with this LO:
Amanda softened the colors while keeping the double pager. Notice there is NO large circle element but she used circle PP. Amanda placed her heart and buttons above the photo kinda like the circle on the sketch. Her title has moved to the right page and journalling to the left side. I love how she lined her photos up in sequence......gives movement to them.
The Lo went on to Jessica, who brightened it up a bit:
Jessica kept the two pager. Without knowing it, she added the large circle again. I love all the bright cheery colors. Jessica kept her photos in line but I love how she tilted them slightly. I love how she labeled each photo with an event. We now have the return of borders/ribbon but on a horizontal plane. The cute embellie cluster enhances the photos.
Last to eagerly get the LO was CynthiaD.................she came up with this:
Cynthia kept the large circle but moved the photos around some. I love the small distance she placed between her photos...................it keeps them from running together. She highlighted the only horizontal photo with orange, terrific touch! She moved the title and the journalling box..............I love the torn pad, looks like it was just ripped from the pad! The photos are great action shots...................looks like fun!
I am really pleased with how the Los turned out and how they developed their own look! This was an enjoyable group to work with.................. don't forget to load them into your gallery, ladies!!!!!
Now, I also played along...............so here is mine:
I tried to keep as true to the sketch as possible but with 81/2x11 it was hard...............I ended up plcing the photo as I did then stitching around it.
Thanks to everyone who played and those who will be looking at this post!

Awesome job ladies! The funny thing about the circle is that when I first started working on the layout I didn't have it on there, but then I remembered I had it and thought it worked well and so I incorporated it.
Everyone did such a great job! Thanks for hosting Robyn, I loved your commentary with the reveal!
