The Waiting Game

This is the first time I've made a layout to enter into two different challenges. I really liked the sketch from The Scrappiest, and I loved the Tic Tac Toe challenge at The Paper Variety, so I combined them!

Here is the sketch. The challenge was to choose three things to include on your layout from a Tic Tac Toe board. I chose the top row: stitching, multi-photo layout & journaling strips.


Here is my layout. These are pictures of Paige & me waiting to see her pediatrician last year. I cut the background scalloped circle using the Lite Lacey Labels cartridge, and my flowers are from the Bloom cartridge. I stitched around the scalloped circle. My title was a pain...but the "waiting" letters were what inspired my color scheme, actually. I found a big stack of OLD papers, stickers & rub-ons that I hadn't gone through in years. I loved these rub-ons...however, they were so old that they were really sticky and half of them were ruined because they were already stuck to something. I had to be careful...and I had to make the two "i" letters from "j" and my "g" is actually part "q" and "y"...talk about cut & paste! But I loved the colors, so that is where my papers' colors came from :)




Thanks for looking! See you on Monday with the latest ScrapFIT workout!
