HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED...

wanting to do something new and unexpected? like something that others find really out-of-your-character?

This is the theme of my layout - - but I can't share yet my journaling (hidden inside the envelope). I have been invited to guest design over at Creative Scrappers as part of its month-long anniversary celebration. I was asked to use this sketch by Zarah Peterson:

Here's my take:

Journaling: They say "The most difficult step of a journey is the first." Here I am mustering the courage to take the first step.

Supplies: Paper, stickers, twine and journaling spot: Jillibean Soup, Cardstock: Couture Cardstock, Tiny circle alphabet stickers: Jenni Bowlin Studio, Buttons: BasicGrey, Ink: StazOn (Tsukineko), Ranger Industries, Pens: Uni-ball, Other: thread, crochet thread, coin envelope, date stamp.

CREATIVE SCRAPPERS' SKETCH #61

Remember my post about being chosen as a guest designer for Creative Scrappers for July?

I received the sketch (Sketch#61) last Thursday but was only able to work on it Sunday morning as I was busy with work and other things. Good thing I already knew what pictures and pps to use when I saw the sketch:


Here's my take:
Journaling: As soon as you saw the slide, nobody could stop you from playing! Enchanted Kingdom, June 2009.

Supplies: Papers: Sassafras Lass, Cosmo Cricket, Making Memories, Lace Cardstock: Monday Morning Memories, Chipboard: Fancy Pants, Pen: Uniball Signo, Pebeo, Button and chipboard alphabets: BasicGrey, Others: Cuttlebug chipboard diecuts (netting), tiny velvet flowers, acrylic paint.

Love this boy from Sassafras Lass' Anthem line!!!
