Play

My school spring break is just finishing up. I took some time to play this week and one thing I created was a layout based on sketch challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles this month. Here is the sketch:

And here is my layout, called Play:

I chose to use two very similar photos instead of just one to show more of what all three kids were doing as they played.

I used a playful font for my stamped title, and embellished with velvet-textured rub ons.

I really liked that the journaling wrapped around the circular element in the sketch. I added a journaling block but kept the wrap-around feeling with the punch out.


















Thanks for the challenge! It was fun to play with!

Life is Sweet on the Paper Trail with Huntington

Thanks so much for stopping by! This month on the paper trail we are hopping along with Huntington. If you've arrived here from Mary's blog you are on the right trail, but don't worry, this is a circular hop so just start here!

I love the vibrant fall colors in this paper packet. I especially loved the exclusive stamp set featured with the workshop on the go. 

I stayed very close to the pattern found in the workshop guide only changing the size of the photos and the journaling block.

I loved the way the colors featured my fall hike photos without overshadowing them and the stamped title worked well!










The added dimension of the foam adhesive and multiple color stamping worked well with the stamps that already give the appearance of dimension.

I love that the Huntington Assortment features both wooden spool tops and canvas shapes. It is so easy to add texture with each of these items. It was also lots of fun to combine them. The sprinkling of stamped leaves and sparkles were great finishing touches.

Life is sweet with workshops on the go! It was easy to combine the elements of the kit to create this fun layout. The best part is that I still have more paper and embellishments - and of course the stamp set. I will certainly be making more fall layouts with this kit! In the meantime, please continue on to Linda's blog to see what she created. I'm sure you'll fall for her project, too!
