Popping in today to share another layout for Gretchen's challenge. In case, you missed my last post, here is the link to her awesome YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/StampingRooster/videos
I chose her Sketch number 11 this time, one that could either be used for a 12 X 12 layout, or by just moving the main photo block over to the left, it could also easily be adapted to an 8.5 X 11 format. I made a 12 X 12 :
and here is the sketch:
See that blue mist all over the yellow banner? ... Yup I made a huge mess! It was all over the pink patterned paper as well - so I made another layer of that same paper, distressed it all and then inked over the edges to hide most of it. As for the stain still showing on the yellow banner ... well there you have it LOL :)
The supplies: All of the supplies for this one also came from my Scraptastic March Rivers and Roads kit, with very few exceptions :
- The scalloped ribbon is from Stampin' Up in Melon Mambo
- The "watching you" portion of the title are from my stash - they are Dear Lizzy Thickers and matched this kit so well that I used them on quite a few layouts
- The enamel dots and shapes were from my stash
- The mists I used were from Glimmer Mist (Patina) and Mr Huey's (Passport blue and Boss Lady)
The story: Again, this one just captures a fun everyday moment. The photo shows our Golden Retriever Oliver watching intently as we work in the garden. The title comes from the fact that he is actually watching my BIL Ron (his human) a lot more than any of the garden goings on. Just in case, Ron decided to go somewhere... Oliver is at the ready ... maybe for a car ride, or a W-A-L-K, or playing fetch, food, or anything fun that Oliver could partake in with Ron... Because, after all, it's all about Oliver :) :)
Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me on the blog today. You still have time to check out Gretchen's challenge - it closed at midnight tonight.
Hugs, xx
