Sketch #17 by our amazingly talented, Shawn Lahr.....

This is how I used it on my layout:

This is Emily standing well, and she's wanting a book to look at. I used last month's counterfeit kit, Color Splash. I had a blast putting this layout together. I used a sketch over at My Creative Sketches for inspiration for my layout.

and I used the challenge over at Scrap Our Stash for my color used that was on the book's cover and a few gold embellishments and some gold lettering too.

 A couple of close ups of the layout

This is made too for Calvinball, it's been fun so far, I'm not anywhere near what some of the crafters are in points but it's been fun counting the points up and trying to use up anything I can to acquire points. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see your creation linked up on the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style post
