I spent a good amount of today on the computer, searching and applying for jobs. In between the job searching I visited some of my favorite blogs and came upon Jennifer's blog, Scrapping Daze. She had posted a beautiful fall layout based on a sketch at Sketch Inspiration. Now I'm always looking for sketches and loved their sketch #206. As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I had the perfect picture to use!
Here is their sketch:
The picture dates back to 1940 and the young man on the left is my uncle. I used up some of my Crate Paper stash and also My Minds Eye.
Here are a few closeups:
K & Company dice hung with a little twine.
Here I did some faux pleating. I cut 1 inch strips, distressed and inked them and every other one I added a pop up dot.
Oh, if I could only support myself with scrapbooking! Job hunting is frustrating! I've applied to so many and even though I love having all of this free time, I need a job!!!
