These pages are for the sketch challenge this week, taken from Creating Keepsakes mag Sept 2006. What a great sketch and this was such a great way to include tons of journaling in bits and pieces.
I also added a wheel behind the second page so that I could include more pictures. (always more more more for me and pictures!) The pink mat is actually a frame and the picture there can be changed by turning the wheel through the slot at the top of the page.
Thank you for inspiring me to try that wheel to Peggy (FavoriteGrandma) and Karin (Charmed) I used the tip of the tag punch to punch out a slot at the top of the page to turn the wheel and see the other pictures. I think I may need to write or stamp a 'turn here' near that. I also found out that if you put the wheel too close to the edge of the page (as I did) that the edges of your photos will hang over the edge as you (try to) turn the wheel. I had already cut the window, so I trimmed my pictures to match the circle of the wheel to fit and then added that piece of red partial circle in the window to hide the edges and clean it up. arg, I can't make anything easy!!
{my scanner and stitcher give me these funky edges, IRL the edges are just a tad wider and really they don't get all fuzzy! )

Fantastic job with the sketch challenge Mary! Wow, the wheel thing sounds very complicated (too much for me), but I love the thought of having all those extra photos. I love all the stamping that you did and the colours are great! TFS!
