Janaury 15th throwback sketch challenge @ Sketch N Scrap!

TGIF!!  The month is coming to a close but I was able to squeeze in one more challenge before the month ends!!  Sketch N Scrap is having a throwback card challenge for the December 15th challenge and I thought I'd give it a go! 

 Here are the sketches you can choose from for the challenge:

Here is the layout I created using throwback sketch #300:

Supplies Used:  Patterned Paper: Vicki Boutin Color Study & April & Ivy;  stickers: Vicki Boutin Bold & Bright and Pebbles Homegrown; Dies: Stampin' Up stitched circle; Cardstock: Bazzill

 

 I love how this layout turned out!  I loved this patterned paper with all the squares but was having a hard time getting it to work on this small format layout, so I decided to cut out the squares and piece them together as faux patterned paper!  I love how it ended up looking! This is my granddaughter showing off her new strawberry sunglasses last Spring!  The pictures aren't the best but the main thing is capturing the memory, it's hard to snap a picture of a two year old!!  I hope you will find time to join us at Sketch N Scrap this month!!  We can't wait to see what you create!!
