That&#8217;s along the lines of what I often wonder about sketches: &#8220;layout based on the sketch or the sketch based on the layout&#8221;? With regards to today&#8217;s sketch the answer is sketch based on the layout. All of my sketches evolve from completed layouts. There are elements on the layout that are not on the sketch and that&#8217;s okay. I don&#8217;t want people to feel restricted by what they can or cannot have on their layouts. As always, sketches are open to interpretation.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifestrivialities.typepad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Suzanna&#8217;s<\/a> Layout:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">This layout is driven by the color combinations. I don&#8217;t know what it is but the teal, red and black with the touch of orange really appeal to me. That touch of orange just pops the bowling ball that my daughter is holding.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3duV9dmNoLc\/VPIIiKPhDfI\/AAAAAAAAaqI\/pfhLPIQIJoc\/s1600\/SummerBowl_SketchLO_Suzanna.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3duV9dmNoLc\/VPIIiKPhDfI\/AAAAAAAAaqI\/pfhLPIQIJoc\/s1600\/SummerBowl_SketchLO_Suzanna.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">For the title of the layout I tried to mimic the retro &#8220;bowl&#8221; sign that is on the background paper. It&#8217;s not quite the same but the general idea is there with the rectangle tiles and a letter per tile. It was easy to do with scraps of paper. I just fussy cut the white cardstock around the foam letters that came with the Family Fun collection.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-4ZeMYHf-znA\/VPII7SH4-YI\/AAAAAAAAaqk\/l1fUcF824Ls\/s1600\/Sketch_Close3_Suzanna.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-4ZeMYHf-znA\/VPII7SH4-YI\/AAAAAAAAaqk\/l1fUcF824Ls\/s1600\/Sketch_Close3_Suzanna.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Aeq9pAFpPVE\/VPII7cBH5zI\/AAAAAAAAaqY\/oY-kNU2LkrA\/s1600\/Sketch_Close1_Suzanna.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Aeq9pAFpPVE\/VPII7cBH5zI\/AAAAAAAAaqY\/oY-kNU2LkrA\/s1600\/Sketch_Close1_Suzanna.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">The buttons with the holes reminded me of bowling balls so of course those had to go on the layout as well.
