~ At the Saint Francis Cathedral ~ Original SOUS sketch

Yay, it's Friday and I couldn't be more glad! Looking forward to a weekend of family time and some scrapping mixed in. And  .. it's reveal day again at Stuck on U Sketches. This week we have another original sketch by co-leader Leah Schaeffer.  It's a fabulous sketch, too! You're going to have to give it a try!~

Now, I will admit to having a bit of trouble with my page .. once again from my being hard-headed about what had to stay and what had to go. LOL But all in all, it looks pretty nice IRL. I think my photos are a bit too linear for me. I kept wanting to tilt things and probably should have .. but I really like the lines of the sketch, so stayed true to that.

The photos are from a recent trip to Santa Fe. The hubby and I tried to see all the sights we could as well as do lots of shopping and downing some great cuisine! The Saint Francis Cathedral was one of our many stops and we took photos there by the statue of the blessed Kateri,  the first North American Indian to be beatified.  We loved all the fascinating architecture in Santa Fe.  And I was ecstatic to find some gorgeous turqoiuse and silver jewelry that made its way home with me.

But back to the layout, right?  While trying to find some perfect papers amongst my stash, I remembered my Basic Grey Curio papers and thought these were a good choice to accent with turqoise ribbon, flowers and pearls. Lots of Prima on here .. the large one being from the Prima Regent collection, cavendish.

The was a wrought iron fence near where these photos were taken, so my MS garden gate punch was perfect for this page. For the same reason, I dressed  a Dusty Attic piece to complement one of the photos. Then I had a bit of fun with my Glitz tiny alphas

I hope that you will visit Stuck on U Sketches and see what the other designers have done, as well as take on the challenge and upload your own creation!

Thanks for coming by! Hope you have a great weekend! See you again tomorrow if you have time ... I have a little announcement and another page for ya!
