Good Times - Stuck?! Sketches

Hi! I'm sharing my take on the new sketch up at Stuck?! Sketches today. We're teaming up with Scrap It With A Song for a co-challenge this month, so if you can find a way to combine the sketch with the song you have multiple chances to win a prize! The featured song is "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. I was inspired by the song lyrics "And the new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter." The patterned paper I chose for the base of this page made me think of a large rising sun. The sweet girl laughing in the woods is my Niece.

I wanted a pop of color to help brighten up my palette so I chose some fun red and orange pieces of chipboard and die-cuts to lay on top and underneath my photo.

I hope you can find the time to join us this month! Our sponsors for this sketch are 7 Dots Studio ($20 Gift Certificate) and Freckled Fawn ($15 Gift Certificate).

Here's the sketch if you want to play along. We'd love to see your take on this sketch! For more inspiration, visit the Stuck?! Sketches Blog to see what the rest of the designers have created.

To enter for a chance to win, link your layout up in the right sidebar of the Stuck?! Sketches Blog by November 29th. All prizes winners are selected randomly using Random.org. When linking your layouts, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole, as it can be hard later in the month to find your layout. You can also link from any gallery including Flickr or Facebook, but we may not be able to comment. Feel free to combine this sketch with no more than one other non-sketch challenge. Please include a link back to Stuck?! Sketches on your blog entry for our challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!
