Insomnia may not be great for your health, but it sure worked wonders for my scrapbooking. After a month-long scrapbooking drought, I managed to put together the base of this layout last night between midnight and 1 am! I pulled out some papers from a box my neighbor donated to me when she moved in June (so I have no idea what they are called or who manufactured them), and paired them with some trusty CTMH cardstock. A few die-cuts from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge finished off the job. Hope you like my first foray into scrapbooking for a while.
Floral & Stripe paper (from my mystery box)
Pacific, Sky, Pear Topiary, Honey & White Daisy cardstock
Pear & Sky ink
Pacifica marker
Cricut Artbooking cartridge: soccer ball, title, score banner, sunbursts
Pattern:
Stick It Down 8-26-14 sketch
Challenges:
1~2~3 Get Scrappy August challenge board (I chose the stars, grass, stripes row);
Stampin' Royalty picture inspiration (I loved the blues, green, and touches of yellow, plus I used the starburst idea);
Clear It Out Challenges favorite color combo (mine is blue & green with a touch of yellow)
Very nice!! It's layed out so perfect!! Saw you in my blog roll. :) Your insomnia comment caught my eye. LOL! Always fun to get papers and such from people just because. You used them nicely!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clean and crisp looking layout. Love your take on the sketch and the colors that you used. Thanks for playing along with us at Stick it Down.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, this is so cute. I had to pin this one just in case I sign our little guy up for soccer, this fall. By the way, I used your stars sketch that I made a Timberline layout for as a workshop layout last weekend with a friend. We tweaked it a little and she was totally in love with it when we were finished. It was a great way to use up left over scraps and even highlight some of our favorite patterns of paper, too. Have a Happy Labor Day!
