The hardest part for me with sketches is finding the right photo to use.
I went digging through my old photos to find this one of my family when we were camping somewhere. Haven't figured out what date (1988??) or where it was yet, so no
journaling. I love that I have a swim ring on and a visor!
I used a sheet from the Country Club Designer Series Paper on top of a piece of 12" x 12" Basic Gray card stock. To create my beach theme I used the Sea of Textures stamp set and the Under the Sea dies. The colours are pulled from both the designer series paper - Night of Navy and Garden Green, and from the photo - Cajun Craze and Seaside Spray.

My resolution this
year is to do more scrapbooking! Are you like me and have pictures that you
need some help and motivation to scrapbook? Join me every week! I’ll share some
tips and inspiration to help us work towards creating more pages and getting
those pictures scrapped!
I find it funny when people say that finding the photo is always the hardest part... If I don't have the photo I cannot create as I don't know what colours to use...Journalling is hard for me too.
