Thanks for visiting today and checking out this beautiful sketch and layout designed by our very own Allison Cope of Sparwood, B.C. We love how the scalloped paper helps to make the photo a focal point and how the carefully placed embellishments help lead the eye around the page. Thanks for sharing Ally! So, readers, if you were wondering how you were going to spend a chilly winter afternoon; you now have a brand new and inspirational sketch to scrap. Enjoy!
