Imaginisce Monthly Sketch Challenge- Fall

Love this sketch from the Imaginisce blog's Monthly Challenge. I changed it up a bit to accomodate the pictures that I had. I can certainly see myself using it again and again. It's a fantastic sketch.

I have always loved these pictures of my daughter that I took one really pretty fall day. I just recently realized that I lost the digital files from that day in a computer crash, so I wanted to scrap the remaining few that I had not scrapped already. I happened to have two 4x6's so I rearranged the sketch on the left hand side a bit to make it work. All I can say is back up your pictures and thank goodness I scrapbook!

I love the gloss on the Imaginsce paper. It has such a nice texture to it but also it gives it a nice weight. I was able to curl the leaves which gave it a nice 3D effect. I also wanted to share how I made the circle border. I actually cut and pieced it myself with two circle punches. Along the edge of the orange paper I first punched a small half circle. Then I took a slightly larger circle punch and punched around the negative space left on the paper. Then I just adhered them on the paper and covered the raw edge with the picture. I can see myself using this technique with larger punches in the future.
