Yolo

Hey there!
I just want to share my layout: Yolo (You only live once), it's a popular thing my teenagers say:)
I used a Keren Gerber sketch over at Scrap Our Stash, I love her sketches! Besides the sketch, the twist was to use gold. I also  am entering this layout for the March challenge at Creative Embellishments (a photo and a CE flourish) and Toni's Mix It Up challenge at Turtle Soup (use a mix of different 6x6 paper pads)
I used Fancy Pants Be Loved, Carta Bella Merry & Bright & a few other 6x6 papers I received in a RAK for this layout of Sierra all decked out for prom last year:

 

It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but I used a CE flourish, added gold embossing powder and then some Stickles to make it bling: 

 

Here you can see my layers. I cut some arrows and a heart from a My Minds Washi Tape and added them along with a chipboard piece from Be Loved. What do you think of that gold May Arts ribbon? I love it! I cut it jagged to give more texture.

 

Here you can see some of my background work. I used a Tim Holtz stencil and texture paste for the diamonds. I also used a TCW stencil and some distress ink for the coffee stains. The mini Polaroid frame I cut by hand. I added some washi tape, mists and a punched border:

 

Here you can see some mist drips (I spray mist and then spritz with water), some more of that yummy May Arts gold ribbon, washi tapes and a fun gold heart from Studio Calico:

 

and how about that gold YOLO word banner? That's from Studio Calico also:

 

 

Here is the sketch I used over at Scrap Our Stash:

 

Here is the picture for Creative Embellishments challenge. For inspiration, I used the green, gold, Polaroid frame and flourish.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with me!

 

 

 

 

July, 2014- Project 12

Happy Sunday!
I just wanted to share my July Project 12 sketch and layout for Turtle Soup. On the first Saturday of every month,  I post a 2 page sketch for you to play along with. All you have to do is use your photos from the previous month on a 2 page layout.

Here is my layout for July using Echo Park Photo Freedom Vol. 1, Crate Paper Love Note embellies and lots of washi tape:

Here is my sketch:

I would love to see what you do with this sketch!
