Sweet Sarah

A few months ago I took some photos of my niece, Sarah, and I have been waiting to scrapbook them. I finally had some time to use one of them on a layout this past weekend.


I started with a sketch from a challenge that I found on Once Upon A Sketch blog and some paper from Lost and Found Two by MME.


I worked with the basic design of the sketch and then I had fun with all sorts of embellies - rosettes, a bling swirl, rub-ons from BoBunny, butterflies punched using a Martha Stewart punch, an edge distresser and some Tim Holtz ink.


Part of the challenge was that the title of the layout must be a year and our layout has to include at least two lines of written journaling.



This layout also meets a couple of other challenges for our Back-to-School on-line crop at TSF. Shelby challenged us to use numbers on our layout and Christa challenged us to include handwritten journaling. Even though I can't win the TSF challenges, I am having fun playing along!

Thanks for looking ~
