My first published layout, Sketchy Thursdays & more

I'm beyond thrilled to see one of my little ole layouts in an online magazine!! Scrapstreet.com has SO many wonderful ideas and projects to share.

I did this layout months ago but couldn't share it until it was published. Here it is!


Please visit Scrapstreet.com Magazine to see my layout along with MANY other AMAZING creations!! It's so mind boggling how creative people are!

I also did this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch...I'm really almost finished with my Christmas pictures, I promise! LOL! Just a few more.

Here is the sketch:


And here is what I made. I used some Bazzill cardstock and papers from a DCWV Christmas stack. I LOVE my EK Success big border punch...love the scallops & circles! I played around with a flourish stamp and white ink pad...I hadn't done that in a while. I've been in the mood lately to tie cute little bows on buttons lately :) The little Merry Christmas Santa is actually a gift tag that was on a gift from last year! I saved it because I knew it would look adorable on a layout one day :)


And here is one more Christmas page I made. I used one of my Martha Stewart Punch-Around-the-Page punches...LOVE those! (Thank you, Michaels 50% coupons!)... I used papers from MME's Winter stack, and some Kraft cardstock.


I used my Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge to cut these snowflakes, and then I used some old microbeads to give them some dimension. I've had these beads such a long time, and I hardly ever use them. I love the look they give!


I cut the banner from cardstock, stamped a tiny circle design on the triangles, added some stickles, stitched some red floss to hold it together, and finally added some cute rhinestones at each point. So easy and cute!



I based this last layout on this sketch from The Scrappiest:
