Love all of these Alz. It is wonderful how unique each LO is using the same sketch. Love Sandy's of course!!! Yours is great. I can see where GB is coming from - sometimes its good to have a different opinion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! Oh and I agree re having Geoff's opinion .. LOL we call him my Creative Director!! :) xx
DeleteLol, I showed DH that he was on the computer - he just gave a little giggle.
ReplyDeleteLove the one you have done of Bear - I think it is cute, and I think Bear would like it too, it looks like he is approving of anything in that photo.
That photo of Bear is gorgeous and the title is sp apt. I love all the embellishments, Alz. Sandy you did a great job of the sketch too! Looks like those two are great friends alright :) And Alz, the Christmas layout is the sweetest thing. Hmm. Will have to save that sketch and give it a go sometime, if I ever scrap again! Lol! I'm stuck on tags and cards and have been for the longest time....
