EMS Sketch Challenge 5 - Here We Go a Caroling Layout

The sketch this week is a single page one, since that's what I needed to scrap. I was inspired by a layout in Creating Keepsakes magazine, but I can't remember which issue, much less which layout, so I can't give credit. Sorry. Once again, this is not a contest: it's a tool to help you get your pages done, so if you are blog surfing and you haven't scrapped yet today, put the mouse down and go create a page!

The Sketch:

My Layout:

Recipe:
Encore, Just for the Holidays, December Word Puzzle, Shining Star & The Works Alphabets stamp sets
Evensong Level 2 papers
Bamboo & White Daisy cardstock
Vineyard Berry, New England Ivy & Sorbet ink
Vineyard Berry & New England Ivy markers
3-D foam tape

LOAD #13 - Sing Praise!

I backtracked a few months in order to scrapbook the final layout for last summer's VBS. When I was scrapping my other VBS photos, I realized I didn't have any music stamps, so I ordered Encore, a brand new stamp set found in the Spring 2010 CTMH idea book. I paired it with the January stamp of the month, True Friends, and some more retired B&T paper. There's no journaling on the page because I'm sticking it in one of the pockets on the facing photo storage page (not pictured). I'm not crazy about the layout, but considering the primary color palette I had to work with (Bubblegum and Citrus Leaf!), I did my best. By the way, if you're following this challenge, don't forget to check out Monica, Linda, and Beth's layouts. Links are posted in the comments, and the layouts are really worth seeing. Until tomorrow, keep on scrapping'!
