Penny Smith

When I look at a sketch, I often change the obvious to the subtle. The stripes of the sketch became the striped on the circle and the bracket... The sizes of things often change too. I love white space, so if I can create more, I often do! I love to keep things simple, as much as I love LOTS of layers!

 

Supplies:

Patterned paper: Imaginsce; Cardstock Bazzill Basics; Chipboard: Scenic Route, Myay Road, Imaginsce; Felt: Fancy Pants

Title: Happy Valentines' Day, Annde
Description: Last week, I bought this box of Reese's Peanut Butter cups in this cute heart shape. Unfortunately, they didn't make it to Valentines Day... but the box was so cute, I didn't want to throw it away! So, I grabbed some stash from my bag and the sketch from this week and turned it into a great little present for my daugther. In fact, I used the sketch on the outside AND inside of the box. Then, we refilled it with her favorites (M&Ms and P'nut butter cups) and some Littlest Pet Shops... It came out very cute and Annde loved it!
Products used: Paper (Making Memories, Teresa Collins, misc.), paper flowers (Prima), heart chipboard (Heidi Swapp), thread (DMC), ribbon (AC and misc Michaels), wood butterfly (Kaiser), chalk (Chalk Box), and ink (Uniball).

I stayed pretty close to sketch, only shifting a few things around. Enjoy!

This layout is about my boy donning on a soldier's uniform and was beaming with so much pride, marching around at home and even taking the initiative to put on his cap to "complete" the look. He got so obsessed with soldiers and policemen eversince watching the National Day Parade. I've made a hidden journalling behind the photo with a pull out Maya Road Sheer Journalling Card.

Supplies: DCWV Cardstock, Making Memories paper, Crate Paper, October Afternoon paper, 7-Gypsies ATC sticker, American Crafts Chit Chat Accents Thickers, Creative Imaginations Felt Alphas, October Afternoon Rub-ons and Making Memories Ribbon and Star brads.
