Hello Dear Readers, it’s Ruth, back this morning with a layout using the current Citrus Twist Sunday sketch and the February kit. I will be trying to get a layout for the Studio Calico Sunday Sketch done today too, though this weekend we are celebrating three different birthdays, one last night, one this afternoon and one tomorrow morning, so it might be a bit too busy for a lot of crafty time, plus photographing and blogging it. This weekend is birthday central. I just realised that I forgot to take any photos last night, oh man! Don’t you hate that? It was one of those very low key board game nights with friends, that are all about good friendship and light hearted teasing, the very definition of relaxed happy times. The kind that are not conducive to frenetic photographing, but that you wish you could hold on to for a little longer after it’s finished.
This is the sketch:
On to the layout, this is one about my husband and I, using a photo I recently found, which is an older one that made me quite nostalgic. The tshirts we are wearing have both become faded and stretched, it was before marriage, before kids, I think even before we had “real” jobs, when we were both still students. A little flash of the past reminding me how transient it all is. I love how photos can do that.
The journalling is on a hidden card that is on top of the layout in the last photo. Last week I really struggled with the circular elements in the sketch, so this week I decided to give myself a break and pretend they were all small squares and took the sketch from there. It was definitely more fun, though perhaps I’m not challenging myself as much by doing that? Some days you just want it to be easy though, you know?
Have a great weekend all, see you again soon.
