Anybody else miss Basic Grey? I was a HUGE Basic Grey fan. I think I have just about every collection they released while I was scrapping. I would buy the collection pack and supplement with a lot of extras of the patterned papers. Persimmon was/is just about my favorite collection EVER; it has the perfect colors of my favorite season, it has Asian looking influence in the flowers... There is so much to love about this collection. So you know it's a special layout when I pull out my favorite collection of all time.
Yet another sketch inspired layout! The themes this month over at SpiegelMom Scraps is sketches and circles so it's only fitting that I have yet another sketch layout and that layout also happens to be laden with circles. Sequins are circles too so they compliment perfectly!
I used that journal card with the oval in place of one of the circles on the sketch and added an extra circle for balance on the page. I also used two 4x3 photos instead of the single square picture. These pictures are of Mia at Cotillion. It's tough being taller than the boys and really does take grace to gracefully accept the situation and make the most of it.
I used three different color sequins', each from a different sequins mix to get the colors that compliment this Basic Grey collection; I used the orange from Puppy Dog Tails, the aqua/blue form Road Trips & Sunshine and the wood grain is the Mahogany. The sequins really pop against the stark white background! I am still blown away that wood grain sequins are an option!

It's difficult to tell but I machine stitched gold crosses through the center of each circle other than the orange one. The orange circle was an after thought for balance and I really ought to drag my lazy behind up the stairs to finish off the layout...
Do you watch the process videos I create? What do you think? If you have an opinion, I'd love to hear them! Change the music? Don't talk so fast? Have something you would like to see? I'd love constructive feedback.
Thanks for stopping in today! See you next time!
