Birthday present from my Daughter & Giveaway

Created this scrapbook layout using birthday present
that my very talented Daughter sent me. She created
the sketch using her Bamboo Tablet (Christmas present
from couple yrs ago) and her Adobe Photoshop for
Teachers & Students software (that she needed for her
Art Animation studies in college). I'll embellish the layout
more but if I did so now you would know who the sketch
is of without guessing.

Having a Giveaway to first person who can guess who
the sketch is of. There are clues in this post like the
cartridge used and the papers used (both in color &
pattern). Giveaway is a copy of the sketch. Will
announce winner Mon 10/17.

Beach Scrapbook Layout

Created this Beach scrapbook layout using my
daughter's sketch of my younger sister and her
husband as a gift to them. I liked the paper with
the BEACH word & scenery. After I made it I did
not have anymore of the paper & looked all over
for more and recently found some more at JoAnn's.
My daughter used a photo that my younger sister
had emailed as her basis for the sketch. Used a
Sizzix die cut for the wood posts and added twine
for 3D look.
