Let's Scrap - Resolution #3 & #12 LO Completed

Happy Sunday! I hope you had a wonderful and productive weekend.  I completed a couple more resolution challenges over at Let's Scrap for their blog hop. There are some really inspiring challenges, so sneak over and check out the fun!  My layout is yet another about our visit to Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, specifically Cannery Row.





Here is the LS 4-7-10 sketch my layout is based on:

And here is my layout.  I wanted to play off the Steinbeck book, so I included the beginning of the book as my introduction to my journaling.  The left side is for Debby's Resolution #12 - use a Let’s Scrap sketch to make a card or layout with eyelets on it.  The right side is for Beth's Resolution #3 -use a Let's Scrap sketch to make a layout with at least 3 different patterned papers and some stitching. It can be hand sewing, machine stitching, or "pen stitching".  I used grommets in multiple locations on the title and on the corners of the small photograph at the bottom. 

Materials Used: papers - CTMH, K&Company, and misc. from my scraps; cannery title - heidi swapp and CTMH; stickers - Jolee's; star fish die-cuts - jolee's by you; stitching template and thread - In stitch'z by Bazzill; border punch - Martha Stewart; grommets - unknown.

Here are a couple detailed photos of the journaling and stitching/grommets:

TFL!!!!
