giggles and grins

this was a fun little layout, maybe because the pictures were so stinkin' cute! I always like pages where ya mix up color prints with black and white prints, but for some reason i hardly ever do it. why is that? anyway i thought id do it with this page and im so glad i did, i think it really add some intrest to the page. i used a bunch of different "paper" from different kits, just looking for some that went well with abby's shirt. one of the last things i added was the big top note shape under the prints, and boy howdy do i LOVE that!!! i was inspired by a sketch from Nuts About Sketches, its so nice to be able to pull up your images and go to Nuts about Sketches and find a layout and jump right in. without a sketch i seem to sit and stare at the images and not know where to start, but with a sketch, you have a plan and you can get started and get pages done. and to me thats the point of scrapbooking, to get your pictures off your camera and/or computer and on a page in your scrapbook for everyone to enjoy!
