Scrapbook Challenges Guest DT - Sketch #382

Hello again! I'm here to share my take on sketch #382 for my guest spot over at Scrapbook Challenges.

I also used a prompt from my awesome friend Erin's blog, Mojo Hunting.  Here's a short blurb about it:

This is a simple blog, where each day there will be a new idea or product challenge to use in your papercrafting or scrapbooking.

In just a few words every day, she'll get you to use up some of your stash. Make sure to check it out! That day's prompt was to use lots of prepackaged die-cuts. I didn't use all that many, but it's a lot for me, lol!

Now back to sketch #382:

Here is my layout, Looking Back:

I rotated the sketch, obviously, but I think we can still see all the main components of it. I used the camera die-cut instead of an arrow because I just really wanted to use it here!

I used papers, flair, wooden hearts, enamel hearts, stickers, and printables from my Scrapbook Circle February kit. The die-cuts are from Simple Stories.

Supplies:
Papers: Studio Calico (Printshop), October Afternoon (Daily Flash Snapshots)
Flair: October Afternoon
Stickers: My & My Big Ideas, Chikaniddy
Enamel hearts:  Chikaniddy
Date tag: Scrapbook Circle exclusive tag set
Wooden hearts: Scrapbook Circle Heart Wood Confetti
Heart banner: Scrapbook Circle printable
Die-cuts: Simple Stories
Letters: American Crafts

Practical Scrappers - Colour Challenge

I don't know about where you live, but over here the temperature is minus-oh-my-goodness-I'm-staying-inside. I think my brain froze from my craft room because I totally misread this challenge from Practical Scrappers. You see, I saw it was a colour challenge and didn't bother to read any further. We were supposed to make a card; I made a layout. Typical of me.  But Kristine told me to post it anyway because she is awesome!

First of, let me show you the colour combo that inspired it all, courtesy of Design Seeds:

Pretty, right? Now here's my layout. Notice the pink on a boy's page. Love it!

Looking back over the past few years, I'd say using two similar 3x4 pictures on one layout has kind of become a trademark for me. I love the look of it. However, I think the awesome Creative Embellishments chipboard (#boys) might make people think these are pictures of twins rather than just 2 of the same adorable little boy (these pics are from January 2013, btw). But I don't care. I love it!
