Share Everything Except Bad Ideas

So, I think I hit a challenge max with this one, but I LOVE how it turned out.  And since three of the challenges are "supposed" to be combined, I don't feel so bad about having 5 challenges complete with one layout.  It started with the sketch from ScrapbookSteals - Peridot 4.  When I saw the three photos in the sketch, I quickly decided on these photos of my kids sharing the tricycle.  All three of them get to enjoy playing with it at once - although probably in different positions than most would expect.  Then I thought about Kerys's challenge.  The layers were obvious in the sketch, so it was easy to add the stars and stamps. Since some of the papers I chose already had stars, it was even easier :)  Then it was time to think about the title, and Rochelle's word art challenge along with Scrap Your Story's font challenge worked perfectly together.  The Share Everything was just perfect, and of course with the five words, I would use 5 alphas probably anyways.  Last is Kristi's logo challenge.  I wasn't sure I was going to include it, but when I had the spot on the bottom left that need an embellishment, the Radio Flyer logo was a perfect fix.  




For the details:  Papers are all 6x6 from MME, WP, and CP.  I used stamps twice - for the stars (I think they are Imagenisce, but I am not 100% sure) that I fussy cut and the word cute (MME Collectable).  The alphas are Thickers, Silhouette cut, and MLS tiny alphas.  I finished off the pinwheel with a Oriental Trading button and some Twinery Twine.  I have decided I need a date stamp after this layout, and I will add that to the bottom left.

Mmm...Ice Cream


The Paper Bakery just started doing sketch challenges on their blog, so I decided to play along with their very first one!  The sketch was so fun to play with for sure!  I decided to scrap these pictures of my oldest and her eating her first ice cream cone.  We were on a missions trip, helping with a VBS on the Navajo Nation.  The place we went to dinner had free ice cream cones for the kids, and so didn't miss out (even though she was just over 1.5 yo).  Instead of getting her hands dirty, she put the cone on the table and ate it that way.  I am going to add journalling to the bottom right.  But because it will contain names and personal details, I left it off for now.

I used MLS Green for this layout.  I love the cute patterns, and the wood grain browns worked well with the burnt orange shirt I thought.  The brads are Doodle Bug, and the washi is a mx of MME and Downtown Tape.  The large alphas are AC Thickers, and the tiny ones are MLS.  I added some blue and pink thread to the wood grain strip to add the final bit of layer (and go to with the Scrap Your Story Challenge).




And here is the amazing sketch it is based off of:
