Boys Rule...the best cool fun

Good Morning, Happy New Year!!!

I hope 2018 is a wonderful year full of fun learning, personal growth and lots of creativity. 
Such a great way to start my year is to spend time creating and this sketch challenge helped inspire me. So head over and come and join in with us at Let's Get Sketchy


 I liked the look of the sketch turned to the other side and I'm happy how the added film strip border gave a edge to the triangle corner. This is one of my favourite boyish range called Boys Rule from Crate Paper. Yes it's an older range but I love it and I still have enough left for a few more layouts.
I machine stitched the numbers vellum on top of the star patterned paper and a few more stitching around the different triangles and the boys rule tag.


 The acetate film strip was cut out from a 12x12 sheet from Kaisercraft and the Fun word in Thickers is called Chalkboard grey.


Close ups of all the tickets and words I cut from the PP sheet. Cork stars from DIY shop and Heidi Swapp Tinsel ink splatters.


These photos were taking in 2004!! Where has the time gone!! So nice to be scrapbooking these, I have so much to catch up on.
 My goal next year is to have all my printed photos in an album. Believe me I have a massive pile. So lots of Project life layouts, 12x12 and I'm going to try 8 x 11.
In the next couple of days I will be planning out how to do that exactly and setting a monthly goal. For me I just need to set a time and sit but I will need to have lots of challenges too.
So that's why I enjoy the challenges from Let's Get Sketchy, we would love to see what you create and what goals you have for 2018. 
Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by. 
Love Michelle xx

Darling

Good Morning, how are you all?
My take on the new sketch comes from a blind crop my friend created for her DT. She used three large tags and I loved the look and thought it goes well with our lastest sketch for December for Let's Get Sketchy! 

This paper range is called High Tea by Kasiercraft. Very pretty soft colours in this range.
 I cut out large tags with my big shot and used them in place of the three photos across the layout.



Some close ups of the flower clusters I fussy cut  from a 12x12 sheet and Heidi Swapp Gold Color shine around the tags and flowers.


Tim Holtz tiny word stickers and glitter crown and title from a pack of Thickers by American crafts called Beautiful-Belle-Hermosa.

Go ahead check out the inspiration on the Blog at Let's Get Sketchy 
We look forward to seeing your creations. 
Have a creative day xx
