I've been trying to challenge myself to scrap 'outside the square' which for me is minimal embellishments so for this layout I thought I would try a sketch based on a layout I saw online. I quite liked the way it resembled a PL page with separate 'layouts' on the page.
The layout I had seen was minimally embellished and very flat and my intention was to keep it simple but I just CAN'T resist adding elements so little bits kept sneaking out when I wasn't looking...but that is the fun thing about a sketch, it's all about the interpretation.
The photo in the layout is of my little girl sleeping with chocolate on her face, so cute despite the mess! I wanted to keep the page looking a little dreamy so chose 'Moments Collected' with the pink ombre effect for my background paper. I trimmed 'Sweet Story' to matt my photo and for an accent on one of the squares. I cut squares from 'Chapters', 'Memoir', and 'Years' and used a cut apart from 'Full Heart' as my final square and decided that this would be my title as well.

To balance the page I added some strips along the top left and bottom right and used the banner from the chipboard and a flower from the ephemera pack up the top and the gorgeous heart/book from the chipboard down the bottom right. I love how the book pages make a heart...how cute!
A few flowers were added about the title and some more chipboard pieces along with the journaling and the page was complete. Nowhere near as flat as the original page I had seen though!
