Crazy About Pirates – Sketches4all sketch challenge

This layout was created for a sketch challenge on sketches4all. This photo was taken after our huge family’s annual Christmas party. The older children had been given these large paper pirate hats and Madison and Matthew came home feeling left out. Alex tried sharing his hat with them, but it was too big, so I took out some computer paper, scissors, crayons and tape and made them their own version. It was good enough to make them happy! lol

Materials:

I have no idea who these papers are made by. If you have this information, please let me know so that I can update my post w/this info. Thank you!
American Crafts white cardstock
Webster’s Pages Storytellers Alphas
Pebbles Inc. Labels stickers
Ranger Distress Ink

Adhesives:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro PermaTac
Scotch Quick Dry Liquid

Tools:

Normally, I would include a link to the sketch I used, but they tend to delete challenge posts once the deadline has been reached, so I didn’t want a dead link here. However, for right now, if you click the link above to go to their site, it’s under the group tab, then click the post marked “get sketchy” then the title of the sketch post “First sketch february.” If you do not see that heading, then the post has been deleted, but you can still check out their new challenges! 😀 TFL!

by dlwidder in Scrapbook Layouts Tags: 12×12, baby, brads, embossing, flowers, layout, lo, single page, single photo, stamping, stitching, white

For this lo, I used core-dinations cardstock for the base, American Crafts white cardstock for the clouds, Webster’s Pages Vintage Inspired netting, WP alphas (they were white, but I colored them), Prima flowers, MME brads, Pink Paislee Artisan Elements Circle and Ornament, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, lace from my stash, DMC embroidery thread for the rectangle, threaded through the lace, and stitched on the clouds, Martha Stewart clear embossing powder, Heidi Grace stamp, Encore ink, and iridescent medium.

I used sketch#137 from Creative Scrapper and am also submitting it to Scrap Whisper’s challenge to use fabric/material in your layout, and Two Peas in a Bucket for their CHA challenge #10. I went with this color scheme for a challenge on Candy Shoppe Designs (white on white), but I missed the deadline since I’d only found out about it on Saturday and I had the kids all day. oh well! lol
