Sketch Template Layouts

WOW! I am so impressed! The latest sketch template has only been available since Tuesday [07-29] and already the gallery is filling up. It is a beautiful sketch [see post of yesterday], by Becky Fleck of Page Maps. There are just sooo many delightful interpretations on this sketch that I wanted to share this one that really caught my eye.

One of our member's, 'EstherF' submitted this layout and in my comments, I mentioned the nostalgic feel I got from it. It just brought everything back to me from my childhood. A boy playing with a stick in a dirt road... nothing else required. No batteries. Period.





I also mentioned that I thought it would look great in a sepia tone... to which Es promptly responded.



They are BOTH beautiful layout! Each for different reasons. As I told Es, I just remember my youth, when things were simple and all that was required was a child, a stick, and some dirt. Amazing how some things just stay with you forever. This layout just called to me and I had to share. Sometimem when I think about how different things are today from when I was a child, I'll think of this layout and know that somethings will never change and childhood innocence should be cherished as it passes too quickly.

Being a blogaholic, I am so pleased to see this DCC blog - yippee! I love that sepia LO, in fact I like them both, but somehow the 'vintage' look reminds me of my childhood - oh dear, that's a give away!
