Here's the sketch:
And here's the layout I made with it. I know, it's a Christmas layout, but with the colours of Jonah's & Sage's clothes, I decided to go with some non-Christmas patterned paper.
I used PTI cardstock (rustic white), stamps (alpha-blocks, tremendous treats Christmas), button and dies (alpha-blocks, seeing stars, tag sale #5). The patterned paper is Echo Park, the two pre-printed tags are Crate Paper and the twine is My Mind's Eye.
Here are a few close-ups:
The "Christmas" stamp is from Tremendous Treats: Christmas, which I cut off from the "merry" for this week's Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink: Cutting Stamps. They were just too close together to successfully selectively ink.
I just wanted to share how I made the pocket for my tag. I'd adhered my photo collage (matted with white cardstock) to my layout. Then I removed the photo of Sage and drew two lines, one above and one below the tag.
Then I sewed over the two lines with my sewing machine. I didn't care that I was sewing down the one tag, since it's stationary anyway.
Then, I can slip my tag in and out of it's pocket to read the journaling.
If you make a layout using this sketch, please link it up here in the comments or here on the PTI forum, so I can come and check it out!
Thanks for looking!
