Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge

Well I started out yesterday thinking I was making this layout for the Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge, Buttons! and Sketchy Thursdays August GDT challenges, until I realized that the August GDT challenge was closed.  So I ended up using the sketchy thursday August GDT sketch for this layout.  I had a lot of fun making the pennants (I am addicted to them) and incorporating the ruled ribbon and cute little buttons.  Even though I missed the sketchy thursdays deadline, I still had a lot of fun creating this.

Here was the sketch I used:



Here is a list of my supplies:

• Martha Stewart bakers twine
• Colorbox ink
• miscellaneous buttons
• DMC embroidery floss
• Tim Holtz ruled ribbon (Love Time Holtz!)
• Boxer Scrapbook letters (pennants)
• Patterned paper (My Mind's Eye, Stampin Up, American Crafts)
• Cardstock (Coredinations)

sketchy thursdays 7.21 Sketch Challenge

Wow, talk about trying to get a good picture.. I like to take my shots outside in the natural sunlight, but since the humidity and temperature are so high here, my lens kept fogging up.  Well finally, after about 10 tries I finally got it.  This is a layout I did for the sketchy thursdays challenge.  It is a picture of my daughter in Wildwood while she was vacationing there with some friends.  They all know that I like tons of pictures and they got this shot, which I thought was just absolutely beautiful!  Thanks for looking!

Here's the sketch:



And here's my take:

Products Used:

Yeah!!!  With a little time and patience, I think I finally got this blogging thing down.  Hopefully, I'll be able to share some ideas and some of my layouts on here with my fellow scrappers, so watch for more to come!!!
