This month’s Challenge YOUrself scrapbook challenge is a sketch challenge…and as always, YOU need to be in the photo on your layout!
I had fun with this layout! I pulled out some of my Vicki Boutin papers that I’ve had in my stash. (Now that I know Close to my Heart is closing, it seemed okay to play with other goodies!)
I used the lagoon color to create a dark and moody base. Then I layered papers from the collection and pulled out ephemera from my stash to add to my layout.
My layout is documenting my crochet journey! I started crocheting with a Woobles kit in October and now I can’t stop. I am pictured with my second ever granny square and two of my new favorite pattern…ditty bags!
I’m currently working on 3 afghans and a shawl. I have yarn for my next 3 planned projects and some more ditty bags and baskets.
I added some splatter to my background, along with a journaling pen border. There are also a few gold glitter gems to add some sparkle. My title is a mix of two alphabet puffy sticker sets that came in a kit with the tags and dies I used for my layout.
My goal is to use as much of my stash as possible before adding too much new stuff. I won’t be placing any more orders with CTMH so I’m hoping to use my stash for a couple of months before deciding what I want to do next.
I worked with Stampin’ Up! for 5 years and then moved on to working with 15 or so different companies on design teams and as an affiliate before joining CTMH a couple of years ago. So I’ve got some decisions to make. It may be fun just to do some challenge design teams and use up my stash for a while. You can see that I’m now spending a lot of creative energy on my crochet projects! It’s a very relaxing hobby!
Thanks for stopping by friend! Have a great day~!
