A SPECIAL CALL

Today's first layout is for a special call - specifically a Design Team call over at Sketches in Thyme.  I have just discovered this site and absolutely loved the clean and simple lines of the sketch for the call.  I chose a recent photo of me from a whale watching trip that Michael and I made earlier this month.  No...didn't get any photos of the whales - in fact, because of the impending hurricane we did not get out far enough to even see any whales this time.  We did see several hundred dolphin and well, not a great photo but I did catch a dolphin tail before it disappeared back under the water.  Keep watching my blog and I'm sure you will get to see it.  Here is the sketch:

and here is my take on it:

I used some great papers I had on hand by SEI as well as Tim Holtz tissue tape and Distress Ink, some navy  and white cardstock, and a few gems.  It came together quick and easy and seems just perfect for that photo.

Hope that you enjoyed your first glimpse of my whale watching trip - more to follow soon!
