MME Layout Challenge & Lets Get Sketchy Layout Challenge

Welcome friends!  I'm here today with 2 layouts that I created (one for the MME sketch challenge and another for the Lets Get Sketchy Challenge) ...

First of all ... here is the Lets Get Sketchy sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch ... once again I've flipped the sketch upside down so that it works with my photo:

This uses the October Afternoon Farmhouse collection ... I love all of the cute embellishments and chipboard pieces that come with the collection.

I used the Epiphany tool (sold at ScrapMuch?) to create this very cool epoxy banner with mini-alphas.

This rosette was created with a combination of Maya Road rosette ribbon and Stampin' Up ribbon ... isn't it pretty?

And next ... I've brought you a layout that I created based on the following My Mind's Eye sketch challenge!

I've used the Follow Your Heart collection ... its a beautiful collection and I enjoy the soft colours!

I used mini alphas for my journalling ... and snuck a pretty pin into the corner of my flower/button/jewel cluster.

To balance out the jewel flourish in the bottom corner, I made sure to add some to the top corner.  Anyone that has seen me scrap knows that I often cut my jewel flourishes up into pieces so that they sit on the page the way I want :)  I also used two different Thickers for my title ... something that I have been doing on most of my layouts lately!

Thanks for stopping in today!

Your visit is much appreciated -- be sure to come back soon!
