Using Pagemaps sketches

I have always been a lettersize scrapper, but recently I discovered the joy in using the 12 x 12 size. It's amazing HOW creative and HOW much space you can use on a 12 x 12 layout. I'm so happy that I decided to finally give this size a chance! And now .... after creating about 20 layouts in this BIG size I am totally hooked! :-)
And another thing is: I can use some very cool sketches now!! And I do!! I've fallen in love with the sketches from Pagemaps - they are so awesome! And here's 2 layouts I've created using some of these sketches:


For a long time I've wanted to use these pics. for a layout. It's my oldest son when he was 2 years old and when he was 9 years old (he's now 10!). Thought it was fun to use pictures from two different times in his life in ONE layout.
I've used the Pagemaps august 2007 sketch.




These pics are brand new. They are taken in January this year, and is from our skiing vacation in France. It's my SIL and I having fun at an outdoor bar! The weather was so beautiful and it was such a nice afternoon! :-) Again I've used a sketch from Pagemaps.
I have blurred my SIL as I haven't asked her about posting her pic on the net. ;-)

Thanks a lot for stopping by! I'll talk to you soon.
