Another layout... two days in a row! All of the classes are definitely helping get me motivated and helping to get the scrap mojo going. Tonight I used another sketch from Kelly Purkey's Sketchpad class and did another assignment from Jen Gallacher's Scrapbook Stamping class... and of course, I used my Studio Calico kit too. But I'm trying to really let myself add to the kit wherever I want instead of feeling constrained to work with just what comes with it. I've been finding that happening... like some kind of subconscious pressure. So tonight I made an effort to break out of the box more (literally. lol.)
Tonight Adorable-Niece-Aubrey gets center stage. These are pictures Erin sent me from last month after she got her first haircut. Now that her bangs aren't hanging in her eyes, you can see how pretty they are!
I followed Kelly's sketch pretty closely but then broke away with some extra stamping and embellishment.
For the stamping class, this assignment was about using solid stamps with layered diecuts. I tweaked it just a bit and used stamps that have dies / punches that were made to go with them. I have lots of those and don't use them a lot, so it was a good challenge for me.
The main set was Papertrey Ink's Delightful Doilies set and matching dies (LOVE that set! This is the first time I used the dies.)
Then I used some Studio Calico butterfly stamps from an old kit that were made to match the Martha Stewart butterfly punch.
The last solid stamp sets I used were the two sets from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie line (still one of my favorites from them). I didn't use them with diecuts, but I did layer them under the diecuts. Does that count? lol. I used some clear Stickles on those as well as the butterflies.
I'm loving this layout. The cute subject doesn't hurt :)
And hey... tomorrow's Friday. Yay!
