Distressed Scrapper

Rochelle creates such gorgeous sketches for us to work with on the Paper Secrets forum each month. For my example for her sketch challenge this month, I used papers and a journaling card from an earlier Webster’s Pages Release. Sweet Season was just perfect for this photo of my daughter, Madison’s, gingerbread house project from Kindergarten. It doesn’t show up well in my pic, but I added stickles with a paint brush to 2 of the trees to give them some added sparkle and interest. I then added a couple of WP sparklers and a whimsey heart to finish it off.

The journaling reads: Oh, the joys of having a creative child! “Didn’t you want to use the milk carton base for your house?” I asked. “No, Mom, this is the witch’s house AFTER Hansel and Gretel ate it. See, they’re full!”

Here’s my example for Rochelle’s Sketch challenge:

This month, Nicolle is hosting the manufacturer challenge and she selected Jillibean Soup. They happened to have a sketch up on their blog, so I used it for my example for Nicolle’s manu challenge. The photo is from Matthew’s 3rd birthday as he patiently sat and waited for his presents. Here’s what I came up with:
