I had fun creating this with that one piece of paper and the embellishments. The back side of the cookies paper is those punched out green stars. Made for a fast card.

The Sea is Calling LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog. It's been so great is to have summery weather in Spring. Its been great to have the heat off and the windows open. Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #55 for my layout inspiration. 

Isn't this a cool sketch! I love a multiphoto sketch. This is what I created: 

Instead of the tags in the sketch I used this fun cutfile. Playing along with Kit Conspiracy this month and this week its a pirate style collection so I made sure to get these pictures scrapped from my Lake Seneca Lake cruises day trip. This was the greeter for the gift shop and had to get a selfie with him!

K is for Kit LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog. It's been an up and down month so far with the weather. A tease of summer and then winter is back but I did see my 1st Robin so Spring is on it's way! Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #196 for my layout inspiration. I turned the sketch to work with my photos: 

This is what I created from the sketch: 

Lots of mixed media on this layout. Using a stencil with acrylic paint and then using it again with distress oxide ink on the pattern paper was a fun test. Used some lace too. I shifted over my pictures section of the sketch to utilize that K in the pattern paper for my title. My papers came from my 100 pattern paper pile and the embellishments came from extras in the kit that wasn't used for the class layouts.
