CM crop 3 January

 I'm back with another CM virtual crop sketch from January.

I'm working my way through this year's online sketches.  In the past, I have not played along faithfully, as most of the layouts didn't suit my style. However, I've changed my attitude and outlook on sketches, using them as a starting point and inspiration.  Sometimes I stay true to the sketches, other times not so much.

For this sketch, I didn't use any slanted photo placement and actually replaced journal spots with photos.  I might go back and add journaling to the right-hand side, but for now, it's done.

 

CM Crop 2 and LM #786

February is almost over, and I'm still plugging my way through the January virtual crop photos.

Oh well, I'm happy to have another one done and in the album.

I added an additional photo, moved the journaling, and changed the cluster locations, but the foundational base is still discernible. That's what I love about using sketches.  I also like to incorporate other challenges as well.  This time, I chose to use word stickers for Lasting Memories #786

I'm finally back in my craft space, thanks to the long weekend and the end of swim season.  I'm playing catch-up with the CM virtual crop sketches.  I rotated the sketch to align with my photo orientation and took liberties with the placement of the embellishment cluster, as well as added journaling.

Lasting memories focus this month: the power of words.  I chose to use more than 50+ words on my layout for challenge #785
