Good Morning and happy August 1. Wow. August 1. That kind of makes me sad. It means half of summer is over. But this blog post is all about a fun summer visit with friends.

I've had these photos printed for a while. I thought this would be a fun way to highlight them. But as my some told me, chess is only black and whet, not red. Well, It's a good thing they were playing checkers as well as chess! The background was so busy that I let it and the photos tell the story, keeping embellishments to a minimum. The blue paper did it's job, grounding the photos, as well as picking up the blue shorts so you can see the boys in the photos. 

 Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today!

(Love) This Face

Oh it's a happy Monday today.  I have a LO to share today for Let's Get Sketchy. It features a cut file created for a new challenge blog, A Cutt Above.  You can find and purchase this and many more creative cut files in A Cutt Above the Rest Etsy shop.

Here is this week's sketch

Here is my LO

I love photos of my boys with different expressions on their faces. I should probably edit more and use only one, but I knew here he didn't want to smile, but did anyway. I didn't stray much from the original design. I did use larger photos, and eliminated the circular elements.  I kept the embellishments simple here because I wanted to feature the title "(Love) this face", from A Cutt Above. 

As always, thanks for taking a look at my creative view. Please go check out Let's Get Sketchy for more LO's created from this sketch. And if you have an electronic die cut machine, you'll want to bookmark and follow A Cutt Above.
