Hello everyone on this super saturday....I did another sketch at SOUS...I just love this challenges, so inspiring...when I saw this I thought this would be a cute layout with my dd on her 1st day of preschool..she was so precious with her new clothes, lunch box, and her new bookbag...she is only 4 but I just love these memories of her...come check out the blog at ....http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com/

I used George for the circle behind all the flowers (can't really see it but it is there...cut @ 7 1/4"...

The swirls are from Home Decor cut @ 3" and (1 swirl) from GS cart cut at 2"

I used WIMG for the flowers (daisies) cut once at 3 1/2", 3 1/4" and 3" (hot pink and light pink) layered them all..used sandy's technique...where you score each petal and then curl them with a pencil or your finger..I used my finger...pop dotted some of them and then used glue dots for the rest which gave a 3d look...love this...Thanks to sandy for the inspiration and technique...keep them coming...always love to learn...

then I cut flowers again this time twice at 3", 2 3/4", and 2 1/2"... also in hot pink and light pink with brads that have sayings "Flowers" and "Happy"....

I used WIMG for the smaller flowers (blue and white) cut twice at 2 1/2", 2 3/4", 2 1/4" and then added a jeweled brad...

I used GS cart for the journaling tag...image10 = icon and blackout icon cut @ 3"

also used gs cart for the title PRECIOUS cut @ 2" doodled on it.

then Memories (jumbled) cut @ 1 1/4" and cut a piece of pink paper around it to make it stand out , doodled.

Used Home Decor for the butterflies cut @ 1 1/4", doodled on them, and also pop dotted to give 3d look...I used fiskars border punch for the 2 1/2" patterned paper on the side...I think that is all...Thanks again for this challenge...and Becky I just love what you come up with!

Hi Everyone on this Terrific Tuesday! I have been having fun with these challenges so I am doing one more...probably won't be my last...but on the BBTB challenge ....http://regina-bittenbythebug.blogspot.com/....we were told to use the penguin from jots...Here is my take on the challenge...


I used the Tri-Fold card on JOTS cut @ 4 1/2" (used the fit to page)

I also used JOTS for the penguin cut @ 2" added some pearl stickers for the eyes..

I used Winter Woodlands for the cap cut @ 1 1/2" and pop dotted it....to make it 3d

I also used WW for the BRRR cut @ 1"...I used my snowwriter and added some silver embossing powder and then used my heat gun to heat it....it looks sparkly but can't tell on this pic....I also added some pearl stickers to the frame it is also on JOTS under the tri-fold card (in back of book)...

I also cuttlebugged the pink background with snowflake folder...and Last but not least I handcut the snow and then also used my snowwriter and silver embossing powder...Love how this turned out...Thanks for the inspiration BBTB.
