6-13-12 Sketch

Here is the sketch for today over at Let's Scrap (come check it out):

Notice that red "fold here" to add more pictures.

And...here is my take on it:

Bloom
Sunflower Field
Mead, Colorado
August 14, 2010

I pretty much followed the sketch as depicted.  I even made the fold out on the right page to include another six photos!  I did this by using a CTMH 6" x 12" flip flap memory protector.  It is adhered on the backside of the 12" x 12" page protector.  I love these.  They come with a full peel-n-stick clear adhesive strip that is not noticeable.  They come in various other sizes too.

Looking back, I think I may have been a bit "sunflower obsessed" on that particular day.  I can't believe how many photos I took!  And (allow me to brag just a bit), I loved every single one of them.  Confession; I have a really hard time editing photos for layouts - I think I must use them all, and this particular sketch allowed me to use many (not all).  I might plan another shoot at this same farm this summer.

The journaling reads:

This photo shoot was certainly not

impromptu!  No sir!  I planned

every single hour of my day.  I had

seen this sunflower farm on one of

our many trips along I-25.

I wanted to photograph these giant

blooms and I planned to stop here

on my way home from a shopping

trip to my favorite scrapbook store

in Fort Collins.

Here is the layout fully extended:

16 photos!

Here are a couple of close up shots so you can see the dimension and the bling I added:
