Fun sketch challenge!

Good evening!  I think everyone knows how much I love a good sketch challenge!  I recently joined some of my cyber friends over at the Cherry on Top message board where they have a bunch of challenges every month, I figure I needed to make good use of my extra time this next few weeks!  I saw that they have a weekly sketch challenge using a Becky Fleck sketch, so I decided to give it a whirl!
Here is the sketch:

Here is my layout using the sketch AND my Great Stash Bash kit:
Supplies Used: Cardstock: CTMH White & Black; Patterned Paper: Amy Tangerine Plus One(grey); CTMH I Heart Us (green), Bella Blvd Island Escape (pink banner) & Shimelle Little by Little (raindrops); frame: unknown source; ephemera: Fancy Pants Happy Place & PinkFresh Studios My Favorite Story; sticker: sun- Echo Park; letter stickers: Making Memories; Metal Word: Making Memories; word strip: washi sticker Jillibean Soup
Can you believe how much older stash and how many different manufacturers I have used on this layout?  I didn't realize it until I went to make the supply list!  I have been really concentrating on using my Great Stash Bash kit this month...I have done awesome using up 2 full papers and 2 of my scraps.  I also have used up at least 1/2 piece of 2 other papers.  I hope to use up the entire kit by the end of the month, so stay tuned for a recap then!  I already had these pictures of my nephew printed out and on my desk for a long while now waiting on the right layout.  I was going to use other pictures but then realized I could adapt the sketch to these pictures that where already printed.  I fussy cut the bear out of a cut apart card from one of the Shimelle Little By Little papers...the whole reason I bought this paper was that darn bear!  I only have 3 papers from this line, so I think that is why I have not used them in the past few years!  Doesn't he look so cute peeking out of that frame?  I just love the way this turned out!  I hope you will check out A Cherry on Top's forum to see what the other ladies did with this fun sketch!  And don't forget to check out Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020 challenge as well, we would love to have you join us!  Happy creating and stash bashing friends!

Today I am sharing my first layout of the month using the March Flavors of the Month kit at The ScrapRoom.  This one is one of my favorites, here is the full kit:

Here is the Shimelle Never Grow Up collection included in the kit that I used on today's layout:

Here is my layout I created using this amazing kit:
Supplies Used: Cardstock: Navy- from the kit & Black - from my stash; Patterned Paper: Shimelle Never Grow Up- from the kit; puffy stickers: Shimelle Never Grow Up - from the kit; ephemera (flowers/leaves): Shimelle Never Grow Up- from the kit; letter stickers: American Crafts - from my stash
I had a lot of fun with this kit! I love puffy stickers they add such dimension and texture to your layout without all the bulk!! I also love the beautiful bright colors of this kit, so perfect for these adorable photos of my friend's grandaughter in her sweet lemon dress!!  Make sure and hop on over to The ScrapRoom blog to check out the other amazing layouts the DT created with this kit!  Happy creating!
