Happy Friday! I hope your day is off to a good start! It's supposed to be super cold this weekend, which is the perfect reason to stay in and scrap and stitch!
Today I am sharing the layout I made for Sketch N Scrap's mid-month sketch challenge with a twist. Here is a look at the throwback sketches we choose from:
I chose to use the first sketch on the graphic - Sketch #48 from January 1, 2014:
The twist for this sketch challenge is to use papers over a year old, and I had the perfect papers in my January kit for Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash. All the papers I have used are from 2018 and 2019, and I'm pretty sure some of the scraps are older than that. I am happy to say that I only have four full sheets of paper left in my kit, and it's only the 17th!
I love revisiting sketches I have already used and (maybe) changing things up a bit, like I did with this sketch. I omitted one of the photos and added an oversized cluster in its place. I also changed where the other clusters were placed because of this.
Here are a couple of close-ups:
I added flowers to the bottom of the heart to mimic the flowers on the cake. I also added a "6" to the heart for Ada's age at the time. I used all of the little colored circle die-cuts and stickers I had left. To be honest, there aren't a lot of stickers left on the sticker sheet that I will use. At the end of the month, I will decide if there are any I know I will use and get rid of the rest.
The "unicorn" piece in the title was part of a die-cut. I think it said "Ride a unicorn," and I didn't want the whole saying, so I cut off what I wanted and threw away the rest. Gotta make those supplies work the way you want them!
I dug out some Close To My Heart clear gems to add a little sparkle around the clusters.
Be sure to stop by Sketch N Scrap to see which throwback sketch the design team picked for this challenge. I hope you find some time to play along with us!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!
