I've got tons of photographs that I want to scrapbook, but I still find it a bit of a struggle to create on a larger scale of (12x12), I think I've been playing with inchies and altered matchboxes for far too long!! LOL
So when I visited
Kerry's Blog....
(who is a talented scrapbooker, runs her own local craft club and is has it happens is also my Cousin :) )
...Kerry has started to have a go at making her own Layout sketches.
So, I thought I would dust off those photos that needed scrapping
and give it a go..
Here is Kerry's pagesketch#1
You also had one extra element this week is to add eyelets to your creation.
so here is my take on that sketch..
(the eyelets are in the top right and bottom left corners)
I decided to use some pics of a visit to
in Dorset
We spent a lovely day there on Mothers Day in March 2009
....and hubby took some wonderful pics of the monkies
(that includes two of my sons!! LOL)
...and how cute is that monkey bead!
and this fab lil quilled monkey!!
Sadly I didn't make him myself, I bought it from Katie at KatiesKreations4U (etsy)
who sells some lovely kits, embellies and corner bouquets.
The beaded pin and quilled monkey came from this lil kit.

Hi Janette, so happy you used my sketch for your page and thanks for the kind words and the link to my blog. As promised I will add your page to my blog when I have the pages from the craft club next week.
Funnily my page has a tree just where yours is (spooky), I love all your monkey details and you really should scrap more your page is fab. Kerry XXX.
Oh Jan! This is simply adorable! Love the pics and the use of the kit! Wonderful job my friend!!!! Hugs! Katie
Wonderful how this has all pulled together with the use of yellow. Love the little quilled
monkey.
It's great Jan, has worked really well and I love all the embellishments too.
I've never worked from one of these sketches, but have seen a lot for greeting cards too. I think they're a brill idea as I always really struggle with making cards, let alone a scrapbook page. (you could always incorporate an inchie or a matchbox into your scrapbook page - lol!)
Jan, how cute is this!!! Just adorable! I'd say you are adjusting well to the regular sized art world. LOL!
Hi Jan,
what a cute sketch work. Love the colors and the monkey theme.
Yesterday I finally posted your collage. But unfortunatelly I forgot to tell you.
Don´t have a look on my blog if you want to be surprised ;o)
Maybe we can later have a ATC Swap too?
Have a wonderful weekend !
