Saturday Sketch - a 4th of July Post~

July 4, 2009 by admin 

Happy Saturday morning to you!  And for those in the US, Happy 4th of July!

When I saw that I was to post on the 4th, and it was a sketch day, I thought it was a great opportunity to search out a fun sketch that would look great with 4th of July photos.

I decided to check out Valerie Salmon’s Got Sketch site for this sketch, and peeked around at sketches for both 2 and 3 photos.  This is the sketch I chose:

I liked the fluorishes and thought they’d be fun for fireworks photos.

The photos I had that were fireworks related were vertical, not horizontal as the sketch shows, so I changed the layout a bit and went 8.5×11 rather than 12×12.

I used a fun blue swiss dot base cardstock, some white cardstock,

Beautiful, from the Captivating line

Spectacular, from the Fascinating line

Black Fashion Script alphas

and topped my stars with some Coconut Pixie Stix.

I hope you have a fun and safe holiday and that this sketch helps inspire you with what to do with your holiday photos.

Have a great day!  Davinie
