"Today is a gift" layout

Happy Thursday dear friends. I hope that you are enjoying this last few weeks of November and getting all pumped up about our upcoming Holiday season. By the way, what are your crafty goals this season? I plan on making a December daily and cranking out more pages before another year is over. 

This next page was inspired by the following sketch from Scrapbook Challenges blog. 

I got some new products from the "Illustrated Faith" brand and used that for this summer page. I thought the splatters on the transparency resembled water splashes. 

I created a block of smaller photos instead of the two vertical ones that was placed on the sketch. I love how sketches help me build a structure for my page but at the same time allows me some freedom to work it within my story and pictures. 

Those kites were premade ones bought at Michael's. I think they are a Recollections lines. The colors of yellow and turquoise matched some of the papers I used for this page.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day.

Till next time,
Grace
