Here is the sketch:
When I came upon this patterned paper by My Mind's Eye I knew it would work so well with this sketch. I pretty much followed the sketch with a few variations.
Variation #1 - I hand stitched a border around the star to add some definition.
Variation #2 - Because I stitched around the star I felt that it would be too much to stitch across the smaller stars. The smaller stars by themselves seemed to just float on the page so I added small star brads to help ground them.
Variation #3 - I didn't edit my photos to allow the smaller stars to go over the photo so I omitted those stars. I may reprint that bottom photo so that I can add stars over the top of it. Not sure if I really will or not.
This sketch is from the new sketch book "Sketches for Scrapbooking" Volume 8 that was just recently released. I have a copy and it has some really fun sketches. I've already started editing a ton of photos for them. Make a comment on this blog post and you will be entered to WIN a copy of this amazing book! I will pick a winner on Saturday, July 16th. Good luck!

Wow! The scrapbook page of Sawyer is so cute!! (What a darling!) It's really neat to see what the original sketch was and how you made it really work. Great job!
I love the blue and orange combination of colors - it really makes the layout pop. And of course, Sawyer is too cute for words. Thanks for the opportunity to win the sketch book - they are the best!

Love this sketch! Thanks for the chance to win Volume 8!!
I must admit, when I first saw the star on this layout, I thought "4th of July" and didn't really think this sketch would be useful to me, but seeing your layout shows me it could be used other ways-- thanks for that, and the opportunity to win the book!!
Love your layout! I have boys and tons of star embellies so this could totally work for me!
Love your layout and the new book looks like a winner. TY!
I love this layout and since I have purchased that paper I think I will make a page very similar to what you have done. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. I also appreciate the opportunity to win sketchbook vol.eight I think scrapbooking with sketches is a fantatstic idea because you can have a basic idea and then can add touches of your own. I have been scrapbooking more often and with greater satisfaction since I have started using the sketches.
Love the sketch and layout you did! Great job!
Love you sketch. Can't wait to get started on it. It looks like a fun and challenging sketch.
WOW!!! This has to be my most favorite sketch of all times!!!! I can't wait to give it a try!!! I bet Volume 8 has tons of really awesome LOs!!
Just found your blog from your post on Two Peas. I love your layout! I don't own any of these sketchbooks, yet... but the more I hear the more I want them all! Thanks for the chance to win!

You layout is just perfect! Cute little boy. I look forward to seeing more of you creations.
What an adorable layout! Loving the name Sawyer...
Fabulous! You've done a great job wih that sketch.
Oh my goodness this is an awesome sketch. Better yet, I honestly believe this particular layout was the best among some tough competition on the sketch support page. I really don't do a lot of scrapbooking, but my wife is really good at it and I have learned to appreciate the fine art. She spends a lot of time figuring out how she wants to do her layouts, and she uses Allison's sketches a lot, so this sketch book would be a wonderful surprize gift! Thank you for the opportunity to win this for her!
love the layout and sketch itself. I already planning to use it for my 4 of July pictures. I don't have any of books they are on my wishlist thanks for a chance!
