One Big Happy Family

The Challenge:
Use three things that inspire you from the Nov/Dec Creating Keepsakes magazine

Looking through my magazine, I found that I really liked a flower that was corrugated so I corrugated my stars.  I also liked some "wrapped" presents; complete with ribbon ties, so I added some of these.  And finally, I loved how one scrapper "tied down" her tag with a brad a short distance off, so I did this too.

The sketch is this month's sketch from Sketch Support

The Challenge:
Make your title using patterned paper

Kyle and Kayla just got their engagement photos taken and I just love them.  They are just so cute together!  I could not wait to scrap them so I decided to do it for this week's Issue Challenge at Club CK.  I chose to use an Allison Davis sketch from one of the sketch books I got for my birthday.  I love how it turned out.  I had grouped the peachy papers all together quite a while ago because I thought they would go together nicely.  I found the piece of brown in my stash and voila!  I really like how the title turned out too.  I used one of my long forgotten letter stencils to trace the letter on the patterned paper and then cut out around them, leaving a border. I like and will use that technique again
