Sketch Challenge- Scrapbook and Cards Today

We have been having some CRAZY winter weather around here- the last three days buses have been cancelled which means my kids have not gone back to school from Christmas holidays- of course they are delighted! Me, not so much! Usually for our house these days are business as usual but since one of those snow days lead to schools being closed I received a much welcomed day off too!   I managed to finish up this layout I had started the night before for the sketch that Scrapbook and Cards Magazine has released.  I LOVE the finished look.


Would you believe I used NO PATTERN paper for this layout at all!  Everything is card stock based and the inspiration for my colour selection came from the pink polka dot Washi tape I wanted to use and the teal shimmer trip I just HAD to use- it is too yummy to resist!  I looked on my pinterest colour inspiration board and found some colours that coordinated and pulled together cardstock- lagoon, Kraft, buttercup and cotton candy.  Wait I was wrong- there is one small piece of pattern paper- anyone care to guess what CTMH paper pack it is from??

The pattern paper I created was made using cotton candy card stock and the pink washi tape- I just overlapped the tape so that the polka dot’s matched up to create the look of pattern paper. I love how it turned out! I also used my cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the shapes on my page- the large circle, medium scallops and small circles and scallops that make up my pennant.  I finished it off with a variety of accessories that I had built up over the last two idea books- all from Close to my Heart.

I can’t tell you the stamp set yet- you will have to wait for the Idea book reveal of my blog which begins February 1st! I will be sharing 15 days of new products and artwork to launch the new book! 

Until we craft again, The Brae-er
