Twisted Sketches has a new sketch available today (#105), and the twist is “summer.” You can use that twist any way it inspires you to create.
I thought right away of a photo I’ve had printed for a while; it’s of Matt’s younger sister, Thyia, on a beach in Florida. As far as Matt and I can figure it was probably taken in 1985, after their oldest brother, Tom, had graduated from high school and moved to Florida. The rest of the family went to visit him the following summer. Thyia would have been 9 that summer. Isn’t she adorable?
I decided to use a few patterned papers from the new Fancy Pants line, Beach Bum, because they go so well with Thyia’s bathing suit. I fussy cut the waves from one of the papers and used a few cutting files with my Silhouette to create the sun and the title. What do you think of this cute little beach babe?
