The Kim Keane’s wonderful sketch:

The gorgeous Butterfly Garden papers by Pink Paislee and Dusty Attic chipboard pieces I used on this layout are currently available in the STTG Store HERE. Simply use the left hand navigation to click which products/manufacturers you’d like to browse. For my project, I altered the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces by whitewashing them with white acrylic paint. I then applied Helmar’s 2 step crackle. Once dry, I enhanced the cracks by inking with distress ink and wiping off the excess.

Be sure to stop by the Paper Secrets forum for the 5 new challenges for February too! This month, I am hosting the Vintage Stash Challenge. All you need to do to enter is use 5 out of the 10 items listed in the challenge thread on your paper based project and upload to the PS gallery with the tag “stash2” listed in the keywords. 😀

Eager – Layout for Creative Scrappers sketch #191

I loved working with the fun sketch #191 by Nicole Nowosad for Creative Scrappers. For my take on it, I stuck pretty close to the sketch. The journaling reads, “Eager to walk run and always the daredevil. You didn’t just cruise at 6 months, you ran as long as you had something to holdonto…even if it was the back of the couch as you darted across the cushions. 1/04/2011.” Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

Basic Grey Green at Heart pp
Basic Grey Green at Heart alphas
Basic Grey Green at Heart sticker
Basic Grey Sugar Rush brads
Basic Grey Bling it on Rub-on
Prima flowers
white pen

Adhesives:

Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner
Helmar Premium Craft Glue

You can choose to complete 1 or all of them (one entry per sketch) and all you need to do to enter is make sure your project contains at least 70% Kaisercraft products and you upload your image to a gallery, photobucket, blog post etc. with the sketch title/name in the your title, then post the link to your project in the comments on the appropriate sketch post on their blog. The first place winner is awarded one of Kaisercrafts new collections, with an approximate $50 retail value and the second place winner receives a Kaisercraft scrap pack which includes new products and has an approximate $30 retail value!!!

This month, I decided to go with the gorgeous sketch #2 using a photo of Madison holding Christian when he was 5 months old. I made him the subject of the layout since he’s looking at the camera, but she’s looking at her baby brother. 😀 This is my take on the fabulous Kaisercraft sketch:

Materials:

Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings pp
Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings rubons
Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings diecuts
Distress Ink
