d. TN Time with Lisa and Lori= using Lisa's sketch #5 (not a literal interpretation but strongly influenced some placements, shapes, overall vibe, and most elements)

sketch=

sketch notes:

a. the title starts in same spot

b. the index card's lines in the pocket inspired the strips

c. the foam giraffe is used instead of the flower on the left side and then on the right side, I used a tiny foam giraffe where the top small flower is and the large Imagine That digi giraffe image was used where the bottom flower is

d. shapes and sizes of other papers varies to the sketch as do the gray divider strip

e. but I think there are enough referenced elements to include this TN sketch and for me to link to their challenge

f. there is another 'half' or separate challenge prompt offered by Lori this month to include a hidden element but I didn't take time to do that

e. Facebook group "Traveler Notebook Scrapbookers": they want to see your entries not covers

f. Facebook group "Paper, Paper, Paper & DT Calls": I will post a preview link to their page 

More scanned pics and close-ups:

Above: close-up of upper right page; 2 of the gem dots shown are orange however against the kraft cardstock, they look more rust or red

Old stock= foam giraffes were ordered from Oriental Trading Company about 10-12 years ago! I still have giraffes, monkeys, and other

Below: close up of right page

Note: the digital giraffe image is filled in with colored pencils using 3 different hues of yellow, red umber, light brown, chocolate brown, black, and dark orange for the mug and tongue...I love how it is done!!!

Until next time, stay safe
