This so did NOT turn out the way I expected!!! Oh well it's a finished layout right?!?!?

I used sketch #13 from Get Your Sketch On but changed it up a bit. All the papers and stickers are from Simple Stories destinations - available RIGHT NOW from me! I have it IN stock! Oh except the two strips of signs which are Basic Grey from the Wander line. That's it peeps! over and out!

 I know I haven't posted much, darn job keeps getting in the way of my scrappin! I have bought alot though so hopefully I will have some projects to show for it! Like today's - ALL NEW stuff! Fun! I love new stuff! As I was looking at this week's Get Your Sketch On, I saw a big picture with the three rectangles as paper behind it! 

 I had an adorable 5x7 picture of my youngest laying on my messy desk and it just happened to go perfectly with my new MME Fine and Dandy True Blue Collection that I got in the mail last week! I started pulling patterns and ended up with 5 - Natalie will have a coronary!

I used new Jillibean Soup corrugated alphas for the title and inked them a bit - hard to see in picture. I  just love these alphas! The kraft are my favorite - cause they go with everything! I also got red and blue! FUN! I inked them with Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress ink which I think went perfectly with the colors in the MME Fine and Dandy. I just LOVE that line so perfect for boys, not too cutesy but not too girly! Just love love love it! I wanted to make a little cluster in the top right corner of the picture. First I decided it needed something along that edge and found that the ruler sticker from Crate PAper School Spirit Collection went quite nicely! Then on to the cluster. I used a polkadotted brad that came in the Coordinates Collections kit with the Crate PAper, used a Stampin Up Build a Brad by punching out a small circle from some more MME Fine and Dandy star paper and hand cut an owl and inked him up.

What do you think? I like the little grouping!

Then I wanted to add at least a bit of journaling, so I pulled out this single from Technique Tuesday. Capture the Moment, I like to capture every moment! I stamped it in Pallet Dark Chocolate and cut it out and inked it with Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress Ink, I journaled on it with SU Marina Mist Marker - oh how I love that color! Would you like to see the end result?

Are you sure? Hee hee I am such a tease!

Ta-Da! What do you think. I like it! Thanks for looking today!

 I have a nice snowy layout to share with you today! I used the Sketch from Get Your Sketch On, the new sketch site I posted about a few days ago - hurry there is still time to play till Sunday night! And I used Dare 45 from Elizabeth Kartchner's book 52 more scrapbooking challenges which is featured on my friend Scrappy Natty's blog! The challenge or dare is to Get Inked! That is to use ink on your layout!

 I used the snowflake stamps from Gina K's Winter Mittens in Marina Mist on Marina Mist CS. I then spritzed some Sea Glass, Lavender Fields and Snowflake Glimmer Mist on the background. I also painted the edges with a white paint dauber! Then for the felt snowflakes from SU I spritzed them with the same colors of glimmer mist and it was a totally different look. In the center of the snowflakes I put either a rhinestone or a dew drop. I placed a small strip of SU pp behind the bottom row to anchor the picture.

Beside the picture I added a sparkly sprig and berries and tied some Marina Mist taffeta ribbon to that.

For the title I just used some sparkly Doodlebug letters and wrote his age and the date in Marina Mist SU marker.

Here is a close up of the picture with Sprig and title.
