For my example for the Let’s Capture These Sketches #119 by Natalie Roy, I went with photos of the birds that nest on our porch each year. These were taken Sept 2010. I’ve only taken pictures of them twice but they have visited us every year we’ve lived here (7 years). I’ve only scrapped one page of them before (layout was titled Love Nest) and still have a couple more pics to scrap, including shots of them feeding their babies. 😀

Here’s my take on Natalie’s awesome sketch:

Materials:

Pink Paislee Mistables pp
Prima flowers
Dusty Attic chipboard Feather
Dusty Attic chipboard Birds on a Branch
Tim Holtz tissue tape
Maya Road decorative edge envelope
Tim Holtz tissue paper
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist
Distress Ink

Adhesives:

Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots
Helmar Premium Craft Glue

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. 😀

For my take on the Let’s Capture These Sketches #115 by Natalie Roy, I went with some gorgeous Bo Bunny Welcome Home papers, sticker and chipboard. The “misletoe” is by Prima and the flowered trim is by May Arts (the blue lace w/sequins is from my stash). The fabulous corner flourish is by Dusty Attic and can be found in the STTG store HERE. I painted the DA chipboard piece with white acrylic paint and misted with Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Frost and a bit of Olive Vine. Here’s what I came up with:

This is the gorgeous sketch #115 we got to work with:
