I absolutely love Creative Scrappers sketch #197! As soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect for my dt layout for the Manufacturer/Brand challenge I’m hosting on Paper Secrets. This month’s featured manufacturer is Graphic 45, so I selected a pic of Matthew this last fall on his first day of school and the fabulous G45 ABC Primer. I was also thrilled to be able to incorporate some of the gorgeous Dusty Attic chippies I got from the STTG scrap store! Here’s my take on the sketch:

Thank You for being a Friend – Layout for Prima BAP and STTG #1

STTG‘s first challenge is to use “Thank You” or “Thankful” on a paper based project. For my example, I decided to use that theme and the current Prima BAP challenge which ends today. Though my first thought was Larry and the kids, I figured everyone already sees page after page of my family and know how much I appreciate them and how truly grateful I am to have them in my life. However, what a lot of people do not know is that Nicolle, my online scrappy bestie, has been been a true friend to me. I’m fortunate to have served on 5 different design teams with her (some current) and I’m so incredibly thankful that we met about a year ago. I don’t know where my head would be without her some times and I know that I can talk to her about literally anything…what a gift! She’s a real listener, which is so rare these days and I greatly appreciate everything she does to contribute to the teams we’re on. She’s focused, dedicated, loving, caring, generous, responsible and a wonderful friend. She’s fabulous wife and mother. I only wish there were some way my page could capture all of that, but this will have to do. lol

Thank you, Nicolle, for being YOU! 😀

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
