Well....I decided to create a layout for the DT Call over at Colorful Creations. The call is open and requires a layout based on this sketch and fall colors. I love the sketch and when I saw it.....

This photo and my Wild Saffron papers came to mind. I have hoarded this stack for so long and usually do one or two layouts each year with this paper....I love it so much!!!!! Almost like I must have a "special" reason to use it....hee hee....You know that feeling????

 I did add a little journal card to my sketch...the photo just begged for journaling.

 I wanted some inking on here but didn't want to overdo, so I pulled out a mask and used just a bit of Vintage Photo distressing ink to add a hint of ink.

 I so love all the chipboard pieces that were available with this line. 

So hop on over to Colorful Creations, play along with their monthly challenges, and if you are feeling inspired....submit a layout for the DT Call.

Happy Tuesday..... I am so in love with this photo of my Ashlea. This was taken just outside her junior high school immediately after graduation in May. Love how the sun was beginning to set behind the building and the glow it gave this photo.

 Inspired by this sketch at Colorful Creations (which is having a DT call, by the way...check it out)

love, love, LOVE the little banner and the twine.

 Hee Hee....even used the little slip of title strip from the paper as an embellie on this one.
