When I saw the sketch I loved it and knew that I wanted to follow it pretty closely. I loved that there was a clear focal photo and a bold title. I wanted to create something a little more than scallops along either side of the center column so I grabbed by fringe scissors and some white tissue paper to add some texture under the purple circles. It worked perfectly!<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401bb090bc44a970d-popup\"><img class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae883401bb090bc44a970d img-responsive\" style=\"width: 650px;\" title=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball SEason_1\" src=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401bb090bc44a970d-650wi\" alt=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball SEason_1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To add some additional texture to these borders I added black hand stitching and a few enamels. These borders make a huge impact on the layout but don&#8217;t take away from the focal photo in the center of the columns.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684d04970b-popup\"><img class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684d04970b img-responsive\" style=\"width: 650px;\" title=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball Season_5\" src=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684d04970b-650wi\" alt=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball Season_5\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I knew I wanted the title &#8220;hello softball season&#8221; with the Ciao Chip script &#8220;hello&#8221; At first I was going to paint it black but then decided that I needed another purple element on the page. I grabbed some sparkle water color crayons, some water, and a paint brush. It turned out perfect! I love the slight shimmer that the water color crayons added to the chipboard.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684d7c970b-popup\"><img class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684d7c970b img-responsive\" style=\"width: 650px;\" title=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball Season_4\" src=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684d7c970b-650wi\" alt=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball Season_4\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The final addition to the page was the strips of journaling I added at the bottom of the page. The sketch didn&#8217;t specify where the journaling should go so I added it below the title. By printing my journaling on purple patterned paper I was able to add additional color to the bottom of the layout.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684dac970b-popup\"><img class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684dac970b img-responsive\" style=\"width: 650px;\" title=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball Season_2\" src=\"http:\/\/bellablvd.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e553a7b4ae883401b7c8684dac970b-650wi\" alt=\"Becki Adams_Hello Softball Season_2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this awesome sketch I have an adorable layout to document my daughter\u2019s first softball game of the 2016 season.
