Sketchy Thursdays has partnered up with ScrapFIT this week for their challenge! Simply combine sketch 9.15 from Sketchy Thursdays with the theme “Friendship” for twice the chance to win. Full details are on their blogs.

For my take on the sketch, I went with the fab Max and Mollie line by Nikki Sivils. I added some stitching to accentuate the sunrays that are part of the paper’s design, fussy cut a few details to layer (the sun and 2 of the flowers) and cut out the cutie Max and Mollie characters from the cut apart page. Then, all it needed was an MME (My Mind’s Eye) Stella and Rose journal spot, the packaging from some Prima bling and a little Cosmo Cricket sticker for the journaling area. 😀 The rhinestones are by Queen and Co. The journaling reads, “Just 13 mths apart, you two do everything together & are the best of friends. We were so worried you 2 would have trouble adjusting to being separated that we started Matthew in PreK early.” Here’s the layout I created based on the theme from ScrapFIT and sketch 9.15 from Sketchy Thursdays:

Adhesives:

Helmar Adhesive Runner
Helmar Acid Free Glue
Helmar Gemstone Glue

Tools:

This photo was given to me by Larry’s Aunt. It was taken at Aunt Beth’s Retirement party. Though she’s in the photo, you can’t see her…she’s the one hidden behind the baby. 😀 Larry’s father is playing the guitar and his dear Aunt Hazel who passed away May of 2010 is on the far right. I tried my best to take a clear photo of this layout because the photo itself is blurry. For this page, I used Sketchy Thursdays’ sketch 9.1. Here’s my take on it:

Materials:

Bazzil cardstock
Daisy D’s Beacon Hill papers
Maya Road trim
Webster’s Pages storytellers alphas
Eyelet Outlet Button shaped brads
Acrylic paint
Distress Ink

Adhesives:

Helmar Adhesive runner
Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Helmar Zap Dots

Tools:

EK Success label punch
Fiskars border punch

This layout of Madison was actually created last month for two separate challenges. One was a sketch from Let’s Scrap. Though it was a 2 page sketch, they allow you to either create a 2 pager or just pick one half for inspiration. I opted to use the right half for the layout. The other was a recipe challenge on Berry71Bleu. The recipe called your the layout to include: 1 cardstock base, 3+ patterned paper (1 of which must be a circle of at least 10cm), 1 lace/ribbon/trim, 1 journal spot, 2 buttons and 4 embellishments of your choice (I decided to add 1 more button, 1 more journal spot, rhinestones and stickles), a title of your choice. Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

Bazzill cardstock
Webster’s Pages Let’s Celebrate papers
WP Let’s Celebrate Journaling cards
WP Let’s Celebrate trim
Teresa Collins blingage
WP Vintage Inspired Buttons (Sparklers)
WP Storytellers Alphas
Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type alpha stickers
Stickles
Ranger/Inkssentials White Pen

Adhesives:

Helmar Adhesive Runner
Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Helmar Gemstone Glue
Helmar Scrap Dots
Helmar Zap Dots

Tools:

Martha Stewart circle cutter
EK Success Paper Shapers punch
