Vintage Basic Grey... NSD

I've had this chipboard forever!  I think it's from Recess.  I altered it with acrylic paint and mist.  Misted the night sky with Maya Mists, everything else is Coredinations cardstock.

Basic Grey NSD Sketch

The picture of the picture is never as good as just the picture... so you'll have to take my word for it.  Andrew sticks out his bottom lip when he is concentrating.  We bought the shoes on the 3rd or 4th, on the fifth it was still taking a lot of effort to get them tied.  So cute.

Anyhow, I followed the sketch pretty precisely as you can see. I even had the ribbons on the upper right, but they just didn't work and I damaged the paper trying to make them work so I added the circle and pop dotted and stickled the bumble bee.  He's too cute not to embellish.  

The paper is all BG Urban Prairie with the exception of the mats being bazzil bling and the beige circles being coredinations.  A couple random buttons, a little floss, a random ribbon and the DYMO I don't use hardly enough for journaling.  Circles, scallops, title, etc all cut with MTC on the Gazelle.

Papers are from BG Scarlet's Letters

I got to play with my new alcohol markers on the stamps.  

Fun, fun.  Definitely a learning curve to these things, all in good time.

Cute sketch, followed it pretty precisely accept for changing up the photos.  Everything except the washi (M's) and buttons (no clue) is from the Little Yellow Bicycle Travel line.  Turned out awesome.

October Afternoon Challenge

http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/october_afternoon/2012/04/hey-everyone-roree-here-and-i-have-this-weeks-sketch-challenge-for-you-while-trying-to-come-up-with-a-sketch-idea-i-thou.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OctoberAfternoon+%28October+Afternoon%29

Ha!  I did it!  I am on a roll! It's mostly October Afternoon 5 & Dime.  The Twine is from Farmhouse (also OA) and the Guyz is from some very old OA I had lying around, no clue which line.  Both cardstocks are coredination's.  I pretty much followed the sketch,  I was a bit worried that I was adding too much stuff and it was becoming a hot mess... but I like it.

Basic Grey Challenge

The Challenge:  http://blog.basicgrey.com/?p=2608 

THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE : Use Patterned Paper As Your Layout Background.

My submission: 
The background is Basic Grey, Scarlet's Letters, Love Notes.  The title also came from the Scarlet's Letters collection, they were in random patterns.  I altered them with acrylic paint, added ribbon and a button.  In my continued efforts to use what is old... the date is on an old foam piece from Making Memories and I used two small stickers.  And to use what is new... the Washi tape on the photo has only been in my possession for a couple days.  Some card stock, ink, foam tape, and flowers round out the supplies list.
