Tickled Pink?

I'm still working on some of the challenges from Craft Warehouse's blog party this weekend. Tonight I finished a sketch challenge (you can still play along until Midnight on Tuesday) in which we had to interpret a sketch in our own way. I loved the sketch but for this layout it was going to work better rotated for what I had in mind.

The original sketch has the title running vertically along the right side of the page. I used cardstock from DCWV's Brights stack for the base, layering strips of paper from DCWV's Nana's Kids stack and a small piece of cardstock from a DCWV Pastel stack for my journalling tag. The journalling tag was cut out with the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, then layered with a fabric flower and small button. The title and two edge strips were cut from a page of white glitter paper from Creative Imaginations. I used two EK Success edge punches to make the half-flower and bracket glittered strips. The flamingo brads are from the Eyelet Outlet (love them) and the fabric flowers are from the Bazzill Collection from Imaginisce. I finished the title off with small Irock gems.

Silly Seals layout and Smoke behaves

Shockingly, Smoke was the good one today. But maybe that was because he got the top spot on the kitty tower. But I couldn't resist snapping this picture of him with his pretty pink boa. Although he didn't seem to happy about it.

Meanwhile I finished my third layout of the day. Third! And the laundry's almost done too. It's been a productive day despite Chewie's demands for attention.

So this double page layout was inspired by a sketch in the February 2011 Pagemaps. I used cardstock from the DCWV Pastel stack and patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Delightful pad. The seals and scattered words and bubbles were from Creative Imaginations. The seal brads are from Eyelet Outlet.
