Discover – Layout for The Paper Variety and CS #198

This is one of my favorite photos of Christian from the photos we took last fall at the playground. He wandered all over the playground with his father in tow. 😀 Little cutie was so tiny he could even walk with room to spare beneath all the equipment! I combined the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at The Paper Variety with an awesome sketch from Creative Scrappers to create this layout. The quote on the diecut sticker that reads, “Not all those who wander are lost” by Tolkien is one of my faves, so I just had to use it for this page.

From the TPV’s challenge, I selected the bottom row and created a layout, incorporated faux stitching and diecut stickers.

Here’s what I came up with using the gorgeous CS sketch #198:

Materials:

American Crafts black cardstock
Reminisce Expedition Destination papers
Reminisce E.D. diecut stickers
Canvas Corp burlap
Prima vine
Prima Printery tile
