Happy the day after Christmas everyone! I can't believe it's come and gone. Lots of fun was had, paper was everywhere, and well, I'm ready to get back to a regular routine. I haven't been in my craft room for almost a full week and I think was going through withdrawal. Thank goodness I got down here today and whipped this up. The subject matter - my best friend Brandy & I at my 40th Birthday party. I think we look pretty good, don't you? (Only really nice responses to that question are allowed). I as usual, started with a sketch. This one is from Sketch Savvy. These are the sketches I tend to stay truest to because Susan adds so many elements that are really right up my alley. So, I didn't change much here, other than I added a background element from the Silhouette store that I have been admiring for weeks. I thought placing it over the very busy paper was a nice way to tone down the brightness. And again, I'm still using my Kraft paper. Love it. I'll probably be using it for months to come. I don't ever seem to get tired of it.

Happy 40! You look like a baby, not 40! I printed out the same sketch a while back because I thought it was such a nice one, but it's been just sitting on my scrap table. Seeing how pretty your layout is has inspired me to get moving with it. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun LO! Love the colors and I see you've started using the stick pins.
