Sketches! with Multiple Photos Challenge

Tamara over at Sketches! with Multiple Photos issued a challenge for August. She asked readers to create a layout using this sketch:

Well, if you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, you know that I am always looking for a new challenge. So, needless to say, I have created a layout for this challenge. Here is what I came up with:

As you can see, I followed the sketch pretty darned closely, and I really do like how the page turned out (even though the photo is a bit blurry). I’ve actually had that set of 3 photos sitting aside for the longest time, never knowing what I was going to do with them. When I saw this challenge, I knew that it was time to use them. Let me know what you think about my page.

When I saw the journalling strips on the sketch and knew that I was going to use a set of nature photos, I thought that I would also tackle another challenge that I had recently seen. Now, I am not a poet and never would claim to be one, but somewhere I saw the suggestion to use haikus for journalling. They are short and simple but can convey a lot. I had never written one before but figured that I would give it a try. I don’t think it is terrible for a first attempt. Let me know what you think:

Snow covered branches
The Earth blanketed in white
Beauty of winter

Now, I invite all of you to check out Tamara’s site and to join her challenge.
