This is a sketch from the SketchSavvy blog. I had intended to use it for Sketchtember but I have really struggled with it for some reason. I'm looking forward to see what others might do with it since it was such a challenge for me.  #174-12x12-SketchSavvy by Joyfulnana, on Flickr And my take on it - not thrilled with the finished result but thrilled to be done with this sketch lol.

Thanks, joyfulnana. I love her sketches, and this one is no exception. And great take! Your page doesn’t LOOK like it was a struggle! Love the little personal story, the flow of the flowers and dots. I am often drawn to the specifics of a sketch, so when I looked at it, the fall leaf clusters and enamel dot circles jumped out. So I am impressed you could come up with a pink/black page with flowers and random scattering of the dots. Now there are even more options to work with. Can’t wait to see what the peas do with this. |

Wow! joyfulnana, I’m swooning over your color scheme! 💗💗💗 I love the flower clusters too, but the lefty story intrigued me. I had no idea of ink stained lefty troubles. Gorgeous. I can’t believe you struggled. Also can’t wait to use this sketch now that I’ve seen your interpretation. |

Great sketch, I love it!! I've left love in the gallery for your layout. It certainly doesn't look like you struggled with it, it's a fab layout. And add me to the list of people who knew nothing of the struggles of being a lefty!

Hahaha I just worked out why I liked the sketch so much....... it's quite similar to a layout I've been working on that I was going to use for my Sketchy Saturday challenge!  That's too funny! Back to the drawing board for me..... just as well I have a ton of saved sketches.  |

grammadee the circles and dots are exactly what drew me to the sketch as well. AussieMeg I'm sorry you already had a similar sketch in the works! Every time I offer to post one I hope it hasn't already been posted on a past thread lol. I LOVE your take on this! grammadee, LisaDV, AussieMeg thank you all for the love

AussieMeg and joyfulnana, your layouts have inspired me so today I put the Christmas cards away and made a layout. I love Susan Stringfellow's sketches. She's one of my very favorites.  Carolers

nylene I love it! I am always amazed at the way you and linda take a 12x12 sketch and make it your own in an 8.5x11 format. I wish I was that creative!

AussieMeg, fabulous colors as usual. I love the stamped stars and stitching. nylene, what a true leader and service oriented person Samantha is. The page is beautiful but I'll have to admit to being jealous of the shorts and short-sleeves at Christmas time.

#1 grandson and his fiance (who I have not met) went to Alaska in October. They loved it! She was born there and still has relatives there but hasn't lived there since she was a child. I have a lot of these snowy pictures and some from Crater Lake where he proposed to her so I may need to find a snow kit!  |

@elaynef, I love this layout. The circles of enamel dots look like tiny snowballs. Such a cute couple. I love the colors and the "cold weather" feel of this. That's a great font on Alaska.

@elaynef, your page is so lovely. Did you stamp those trees on the top right? They're gorgeous. The color is perfect for the photos and the chilly snowy vibe.
