When Was The Last Time You Just Used Plain Cardstock?

I didn't realize I was using just plain cardstock until I was just about done with this layout!  It has been a long time since I have done that!  Nice change of pace...

In any case, I am here to help reveal the new challenge at Sketch N Scrap.  The sketch challenge is posted below followed by my layout:

No automatic alt text available.


I tried something new and attached my banner together with brads.  I think I will do that again!  Other than adding extra cardstock and extra photos to the layout - I followed the sketch to the T!  I hope you can join us in this challenge, links are due January 31st.

What Are You Dreaming About?

I am happy to help reveal the new challenge at Lasting Memories.  Challenge # 378 is to use the word  "dream" on your layout.  Dream can be in your title, journaling, or even as a design element!

I choose to use dream in my title and this is what I created:


The original base paper had a design element printed in the center bottom.  I wasn't a fan of the design so I placed a number of embellishments on top to cover it up!  I can't wait to see your "dreamy" layouts!  (Sorry - couldn't resist!)  Be sure to link up by January 27th!


Materials Used:  Webster's Pages - Everyday Poetry paper, DCWV paper, Webster's Pages Journaling card, Webster's Pages - Storytellers alphabet, Studio G pearls, silk flower, and Petaloo flower (white).
