Happy Monday (groan) peas!
I'm posting this Sunday evening as I know I won't have time in the morning. (eta: 2nd example in another post below)
This year, I am sketching the way I see Shimelle do on her lives: once she has chosen photos (and sometimes after she choses supplies) she makes a sketch to guide her.
This was what I sketched after I looked at my 2 photos. I started with a very traditional "ledge". I imagined a white/neutral background with rays of pp to lead the eye to my photo, and allow me to add lots of colour in a contained way.

but when I started looking for papers to be my rays, I ran into this sun/rays from the new Vicki B line and felt it would be dumb not to use it! I also managed to stay pretty darn true to my sketch using it. I chose to angle my photos and use layered "mats" (scraps and I just had to go with their sizing). And I turned my journaling tag vertical because when it was horizontal it felt like it pulled the focus too far to the left.
I hope this shows how the "rays" I've drawn into the sketch could be just a large tag, a large circle/star, or even a simple rectangle of pp down that side of the layout.
