"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

I love this layout!  I based it on the sketch at Fetch - A - Sketch, Challenge #33

and I loved the geometric elements, especially! I also took the opportunity to use 3 photos in these elements, and that always make me happy!  I cut the stars with my Cricut and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, and inked them with chalking ink and a brush!  The title is made with Me and My Big Ideas Alpha chips and then I brushed them with the same Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking ink in Baja Blue.
