Cute: Sunday Sketch

I have about 3 other things that I should get to first, but I just felt like doing another random layout... this one with some pictures of Adorable-Niece-Aubrey that Brian sent a while ago that I've been meaning to use on a layout. It just happened to work out that a magazine cover I saw this week that I've been dying to use as an inspiration piece and the Studio Calico Sunday Sketch posted today work perfectly together. I decided it was a sign, so I pulled out the pictures and just started playing.

Here's the inspiration piece - I took a picture with my iPad since it's a work magazine and I wanted to leave it there... it's the cover of the latest issue of Print Mag:

Seroiusly cool, right? I'm just in love with the way they did the numbers. So here's the layout I did based on this and the Studio Calico sketch:

I used bits of the Studio Calico Daydream Believer kit along with paper bits from my scrap bin, the alphabet stamps from a Story Hour add-on, a phrase stamp (andiamo!) from an old SC stamp set that came with an add-on in 2010, tags, flowers, a ribbon scrap sitting on my table and some Papertrey butterfly stamps. I'm kind of loving it.

I really had a lot of fun making the letters. I cut the first layer on my Cameo - the font is Bebas. Then I mounted them on paper scraps and handcut each additional layer - there are 4 layers.

I love that I got to use the check-mark stamp from the SC Epic stamps.

I put dots of liquid pearls on all the butterflies, and the bigger ones are on pop dots.

This was just fun... I think I'll have to tuck this title idea away to use again some time.

Now I'll get back to what I was planning to work on today... including a mini album of my girls' day out with Angelina yesterday. We took plenty of pictures and the book is mostly done, so hopefully I'll post it soon. Then, on to this week's project life layout!
