Layout #28 - Get Picky, CSD, and Sketches in Thyme

Posted by Roxy on 9:39 AM with 14 comments

I've been waiting to scrap these photos for 2 years, so it's kind of exhilarating to finally get them out of my "to be scrapped" box. Using this sketch from "Get Picky":
meant my page came together fairly quickly. I grunged up the background paper with Walnut Stain and Tea Dye Distress Ink, and I really like how boyish it turned out. I changed the upper corner detail to a cute little banner, thinking that usually parades have banners galore. Of course, this one didn't. In fact, it didn't have much of anything! If I didn't have my camera at the ready, or if I blinked, I would've missed the whole thing! It was pretty funny, looking back, that we got all ready, got good seats for the parade, and it was over in 60 seconds, but the kids just loved the candy. I know, I'm the worst mother in the world, I only let my kids have candy at Hallowe'en and parades, but they're the strongest, healthiest kids around (with no cavities or fillings), so go figure! They'll thank me one day!

The girls at Candy Shoppe Designs are back, and one of their challenges this month is to make a "summer" project. Make sure if you join in, tell them I sent you, because it's all about the RAK, right? (Does anyone know what RAK stands for, by the way, or should I say, BTW? I just figured out what LMAO and ROFL stand for, I'm like an old lady with all this lingo!) I'm also entering this page at Sketches in Thyme for their open challenge, which means you can use any sketch. Did you hear me? ANY SKETCH!!! That means, link your stuff up now, chickadees, you could win!

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, MME patterned paper, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Ranger Perfect Pearls, Sakura white pen, Creative Memories brown pen, unknown baker's twine

    Love what you did with your background paper Roxy - you are SO brave! I have only once deliberately splatted ink onto a layout and it felt SO wrong!!! However, my most favourite bit is the bunting! I love bunting :)

    Hugs, Carole xxx

    Great layout Roxy! Love the banners and the grunged background. So clever!
    Okay, I could be wrong, but I think RAK stands for Random Acts of Kindness - as in, sending a gift to a random person "just because". I also feel like an old lady with the text lingo. My jaw dropped to the floor when Marley - at 5 - called her friend her BFF! We're in so much trouble with the teen years!!
    Well, off to enjoy my day off some more. Making Greg clean the kitchen and make dinner. :) I am hoping to sneak into my scrap room to attempt to get a layout done and submitted tonight. We'll see!
    Do you know this one? TTFN!

    Ooh, LOVE how the background turned out and love the tiny banner too! I agree with you, doesn't it feel so great to get some long-awaited photos scrapped?! Great job with the GP sketch!
