Sunday scrapping (Part 1)

It's been a while since I had a free Sunday to just sit and create... and so far I've done two layouts.  I've optimistically titled my post "Part 1" because I hope to have at least a "Part 2" by the end of the day!

I love the sketch at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia this month.  This is what I created:



I've been wanting to scrap this photo of Jess for a while, and the circles in the sketch seemed a perfect match to the ball in her mouth!  I started with a bit of bubblewrap stamping for the background, and then jumped straight into my bag of green/blue paper scraps to build up the layers.

I adore the beautiful inspiration picture at ARTastic this month, with the challenge criteria of a COUNTRY/RURAL THEME:

I must admit, I have hundreds of photos that fit the bill for this theme! For this layout I kept it super simple, taking inspiration from the rural scenery and the muted colours:
