Charlotte’s sketch for challenge #108 on Let’s Capture These Sketches is gorgeous and so much fun to work with!

Materials:

Webster’s Page Western Romance papers

Sweet Little Diva Layout – Berry71Bleu and Let’s Scrap

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

Practical Scrappers has kindly published 2 of my layouts on their site, so I thought I would share the info and links. 😀 The first one is the one they featured more recently. It was my Let Them Eat Cake layout of Madison on her first birthday. I used all Webster’s Pages Lullaby Lane products, stickles, and chalk ink:

This one is featured on their Little Girl Projects post.

The second, Baby Kiwi, was actually published first, but I must have somehow missed their email that provided the publication banner. For this one, I used an older Bo Bunny line called Pet Shop and posted about it previously on my blog here if you’d like more info. This one was featured on their Little Boys Projects post:

TFL!

Comments are always welcome and appreciated. 😀 Be sure to stop by on Monday, April 25th for details on a fabulous, scrappy giveaway! It’s my birthday and I love to share! 😀

This was Madison’s first day of Pre-K (2008). She was so proud of her big girl princess backpack. The layout is based on a sketch for a challenge on Sketches in Thyme.
