first ice cream cone {CCG challenge 201}

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing fantastic! I have a layout of my youngest from a few years ago. Got the cutest photos of him eating his very first ice cream cone! These photos just went perfectly with the current challenge over at ColorComboGalore. If you haven't been there, you should!! They have amazing challenges, and everyone is super nice!! Okay, on to the layout!!

 

Here is the challenge 201 from CCG:

I also used the current sketch at Sketchy Thursdays (7.21):

Here are some detail shots:

 

I only used a small amount of the pink, again, trying to not make it too girly. I painted the chipboard white, then lightly edged them with the aqua color. I hand stitched the fabric as a small border to the photos. Used my fiskars border punch on the pink, and my cricut to cut the tag at the bottom. Stamped my leaf on vellum and cut out the image. I didnt want the leaves to be too overwhelming, seeing as they didn't fit the topic. Added my embellishments, and was done!

For this layout, I used:

• Colorbok cardstock(white)

• Vellum (unknown)

wee t-ball Sketchy Thursdays 6.30 challenge

This is based off of the current sketch challenge at Sketchy Thursdays:

 

Here are some closeups for you to enjoy :)

believe it or not, this is my first banner on a lo

Loved these K&Company stickers! They were embossed!! So cool...

Another K&Company sticker, and a Sassafras card. Perfect that it was number 5 and had baseball stitching around it!!

This is just a plain foam shape from the Dollar Tree that I painted with acrylic paint, then hand-stitched the red stitches. I used my Cricut to cut out the title (lyrical letters cartridge), and used GlueDOTS pop up adhesives to give it dimension.

 

I loved that these eyelets were the same color as the baseball bats!! Thought that was such a cool touch!

I am also going to enter this into Paper Issues: Red, White and Blue challenge. Its not the festive r,w & b, but I did use those colors, so I think it will work!!

For this layout I used:

• Cardstock: DCWV SafariKids
• Paper: The Paper Studio, GlitzDesign Kismet
• Sassafras- Paper Whimsies-tailored deck
• Foam shapes (Dollar Tree)
• Acrylic paint
• Spare Parts by The Paper Studio
• brads
• sports brads
• eyelets
• metallic, shiny stars from my stash (unknown)
• twine
• K&Company Tim Coffey embossed stickers (kinda old)
• Stick-A-bilities by The Paper Studio-alpha stickers
• SandyLion Scrapbook stickers-baseball sticker borders (kinda old)

Hope you everyone enjoyed my lo, and have a great night!!

Much love,
