Mountain Dudes


I love using sketches as a jumping off point for my layouts.  Sometimes I follow them closely and sometimes I don't.  This is a case where I didn't follow too closely to this sketch:
 
 
I started off with the large die cut chevron green paper, I substituted one horizontal picture for the two vertical photos and since it was a layout of my grandsons I eliminated the layered border punches and just used my notebook punch along one side. 
 
Checkout the sketch and free digital template at Miracles Momma Designs HERE.
 
I am entering this layout in Frosted Designs Chevron challenge
and
the very first challenge at Scrap Your Story -- Just One Photo Challenge
