The first challenge for the SYAO event on Paper Secrets is now closed and participants are now moving onto the 2nd sketch. I’d already used it before for the “1st mohawk” layout of Alex last winter, so I rotated it 90 degrees to give me a fresh perspective. There’s also a list of 10 supply items and you need to select at least 5 of them to include on your layout. I chose dry embossing, misting, 3+ brads, 3+ buttons, ribbon and 3+ photo corners. I combined it with Challenge #4 (Bright Colors) on Sketches4All‘s Spring is in the Air event. Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

October Afternoon Schoolhouse 12×12 cardstock paper
OA Schoolhouse alpha stickers
OA Mini Market stickers
OA Schoolhouse diecut stickers
Core’dinations G45 Core Impressions
American Crafts white cardstock
chain links from craft store
Maya Road chandelier beads
Making Memories brads
Bo Bunny buttons
Twine from The Twinery
Paper doily
Tattered Angels Shimmer Mist
blue photo corder brads

Adhesives:

Helmar Craft Glue
Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac

Thanks for looking!

Buddies – MME Sketch Challenge Entry

For this layout, I again combined 2 challenges. There’s an awesome sketch by Anam Stubbington for the My Mind’s Eye Blog Challenge 23, so the basic layout is based on that sketch plus the final NSD Challenge on Paper Secrets is to create a layout with 3 handmade flowers, each made with a different technique. Now the real challenge was the fact that it’s a boy layout and I needed to create flowers that go with the page but didn’t seem girly! Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

MME Stella & Rose Hattie “Family” Pinstripe Paper
MME S&R Hattie “Buddies” Argyle Paper
MME S&R “Family” Silk Tie Paper
MME S&R Hattie trim
MME S&R Hattie brads
MME S&R Hattie title
MME S&R Hazel paper (for one flower)
Echo Park For the Record paper (for one flower)

Adhesives:

Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Cosmo Cricket Gluber
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac
Helmar Zap Dots

This is the fab sketch my layout is based on:

If you’d like to enter the MME sketch challenge, entries are due by Thursday, May 19, 2011 midnight MST. TFL!

Just Like Dad Layout

08 May 2011 3 Comments

This is the second part of the 2 pager I was talking about the other day. The left page is “You Shine a Light” which I posted a couple of days ago. At the top of the other page, the word “You” is in red block type, so I continued that onto this page adding “want to be” creating a subtitle to link the pages together. I also carried over the puppy w/the oversize crown. The journaling reads, “You have your dad’s magnetic personality and want to be just like him. You wear his shirts & hats & want to do everything he does…even when he’s napping.

For this layout, I again combined a few challenges. I loosely based it on the sketch for the NSD sketch challenge on Paper Secrets, combined it with Rosey’s white space challenge on Sketches4All and the digi brushes challenge on InspireMe (Webster’s Pages), but I’m not entering into the WP challenge. Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

Webster’s Pages Yacht Club 12×12 cardstock
WP Ladies and Gents 12×12 cardstock
WP Ladies and Gents digi brushes
WP journaling card
WP Storytellers Alpha stickers
Viva Pearl Pen in silver
Kaisercraft pearls
ink and markers

Adhesives:

Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots
Helmar 450 Quick Dry (I could have used the craft glue, but needed it to dry quickly, so I went with the 450).

TFL!
