Oscar: A Layout for Sketches in Thyme

Sketches in Thyme #104

 

Here is the original sketch #104:

 

My goal for 2013 is to use the supplies and collections I already have, and only purchase adhesives and photo prints!  So, everything in my layout is from my stash!  I had big fun with this sketch, and chose to take 1 great photo of Oscar the mule and crop it into 6 equal parts!  I used fibers, twines, ribbon ends, and some old paper scraps!  It feels good to use what I have and to be a good steward of my blessings!

We: A Layout for Let's Get Sketchy

I love this photo of my sweet husband and our youngest son holding hands and walking away from me.  I created this layout based on the October Week 4 Sketch (Sketch #34) at Let's Get Skletchy! I love all of the opportunities to use geometric shapes, and focus on 1 special photo!  I distressed heavily around the edges of the first 2 layers of paper, and added some whimsy with flax stitching!

 

I used these products & tools:

Bo Bunny paper

Bazzill cardstock

The Paper Studio chipboard font letters

Martha Stewart punch

Sew Easy Tool

October Afternoon font stickers

We R Memory Keepers XActo knife

"boy" layout for 4 Crafty Chicks & Quick Quotes

I created this layout using the Quick Quotes Friday Challenge 20 Sketch for inspiration!

I included a quote about boys by Robert Powell on the 3 tags in the top right corner.  I also used the Powder Puff Chalking Ink Mocha Mama around the whole edge of my gold cardstock, and brushed the ink all over the surface of the chipboard tags!



4 Crafty Chicks 4CCC-111 Tag You're It challenge

 

I used 3 identical chipboard tags, that I trimmed into banners and brushed with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Inks Mocha Mama. I was thrilled to participate in this challenge because I pulled out my little box of blank tags, and used these 3 that I have had for maybe 7 years?  Yay for using my stash!

 

To create this layout I used these supplies and tools:

•  Bazzill Cardstock
• Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy collection
• Jenni Bowlin calendar tags
• The Paper Studio chipboard alphas
• Jillibean Soup green burlap twine
• October Afternoon font stickers
• Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking ink
• American Crafts metal photo brads
• Prima distressing tool
• Spellbinders square scalloped die
• Sizzix Big Shot
• green ribbon and tags from my stash
