Scraplifter Designs - PROJECT Life - 365

I began this blog to document my POTD (picture of the day) for our Project Life album in 2010. In Sept. 2011 I had our first baby and I plan for her to have the most documented life possible. I have continued each year with Project Life, but also have expanded my blog to include layouts and other creations. Life has gotten busy, so I don't post as often as I used to, but am still determined to try. I would love to have you join me on our journey! Thank you for visiting!

The Scrappiest Sketch & Apron Strings Challenge Layout

I finished a layout today about dinner in Sonoma. I used a the Scrappiest Sketch #112 and the Apron Strings: Birthday Party Day #14 Challenge. The Day #14 Challenge is to do something new to you on your layout: mists, paint, sewing, decoupage ;), chipboard, hand cutting, building your own embellishments, etc. I used my new Spellbinders Grand Calibur and the Nestabilities Eyelet Circles for my journaling block. I have had this for about 2 weeks and was a little leary about using it. This challenge gave me the nudge to try it out and I loved it!

Here is the sketch:

Here is my layout:

Here is a detailed photo of the spellbinders journaling block:

Materials Used: paper - Flair Designs, Deja Views, and misc. scraps; journaling block - Spellbinders Eyelet Circles; title - Making Memories, Sandylion Essentials; wine tag - Creative Imaginations; embellishments - Jolee's by You Cheese bskt, French bread, Wine.

Thanks for visiting!
