When I bought new shoes, my daughter found them and then tried them. I was lucky enough to capture her trying my shoes - soon she got bored with the shoes and went away.

The sketch for this month is by me:


I can't wait to see what everyone creates based on my sketch!

Crafty Sketchesの11月のDTレイアウトです。
私が新しい靴を買ったときの娘の様子をLOにしました。

この様子を写真に撮れてよかったです。この後すぐ飽きてしまって、どこかへ行ってしまいました。

今月は、スケッチの作成も私が担当しています。
是非、このスケッチでの作品づくりにチャレンジしてみてください。

今回のインスピレーションは色使いがとても印象的でした。一応、同じ系統の色を使ってみた…つもりです。(あとタグと。)

写真は息子の初節句です。
インスピレーションは季節的にも感謝祭っぽいなぁと思いつつも、日本人なので感謝祭には無縁だし…と悩んだ結果、祭つながりで、成長に感謝できて、何となく写真の中に今回のインスピレーションと合いそうな色があったという初節句を選びました。季節はずれですね。
