Sketchbook: Sketch 2

I signed up for Kelly Purkey's Sketchbook class at Studio Calico

and, this weekend, I made a layout and a card using the sketch.

I'm not allowed to post the sketch here on my blog,

but here are my projects.

Here's the layout I made for Sketch 2:

I used some Crate Paper (pink stripes) & October Afternoon (blue bokeh)

patterned paper, as well as a We R Memory Keepers journaling card.

I used some Fancy Pants alphabet stickers for the title.

This was all adhered to a piece of 12x12 Bazzill Basics Classic White cardstock.

I had fun stamping my own embellishments using PTI's Simply Framed stamp set

onto my Bazzill Basics Classic White cardstock!

For this last embellishment, I created a piece of cardstock that can be pulled out

to reveal the journaling.

I decided to use the PTI Wee One MIM Mini kit to make my card:

I diecut the bird and deer from patterned paper that came in the kit.

I stamped the frame and sentiment and added an aqua mist button

with button twine to finish it off.

I'm also linking up this layout and card to this week's
