Winter.Snow.

Well, it certainly been a long time since I last blogged. Sometimes it feels life's activities get in the way .... and also my very busy 2 year old. This was a class I took from Urban by Roxanne of course. This year Roxannes theme for her classes is using sketches. She of course also still incorporates new techniques into each layout. Roxanne gets her sketches from a well-known websites, Page Maps by Becky Fleck. The sketches are organized by month and by sketch type. They are very easy to navigate and you can also view a sample page beside each sketch. This one is the 12x12 double page sketch from March 2011. The paper line she used was "The Yellow Bicycle"...beautiful paper. Details that made this layout unique were the little handmade pine cones (which I had a little bit of trouble making) and the many different ways we inked and embossed the snowflakes. Very fun class to take.
