Throwback Thursday challenge #4 ~ Sketch N Scrap

Have you been enjoying the Throwback Thursday challenges at Sketch N Scrap?  I sure have, it is fun to go back and use a sketch a second time and see how it inspires you on that go round!  Our hostess for today is Katty, and she is challenging us to use this fun sketch from August 2014 by Kelly



 

And here is my take on this awesome sketch:



Supplies Used: Card stock: Stampin Up; Patterned Paper: Simple Stories, Echo Park, and Stampin Up; letter

stickers: Paper Trunk & Thickers; stickers: Echo Park (banner); punches: Stampin Up; butterflies: Jillibean Soup;

Die: Stampin Up (butterfly); pearls: Kaiser Crafts: enamel dots: Teresa Collins

 

This is a picture of my dear friends not so little anymore guy, taken way back in 2003!!!  I came across these pictures while organizing and knew they would be perfect for this sketch! What fun memories, as he is longer a sweet little guy but instead a sweet big guy, soon to be driving!!! Wow, time flies!  I also had fun mixing a bunch of different miscellaneous papers from different manufacturers, many that are almost as old of these pictures lol!  The only thing that was a bummer was that I had a hard time finding letter stickers to make my title!  Seems I have TONS of letter stickers but no really full sets so making a title can be kind of stressful anymore, guess I better start stalking the alphabet sticker sales soon!  I hope you will hop on over to Sketch N Scrap to see all the amazing creations the other DT members have come up with!  We have a great prize up for grabs this month so make sure and play along!  I can't wait to see what you create!

This was one of my favorite times spent with my son.  We went with his Cub Scout group on a hike at Dinosaur Valley State Park.  It was July and pretty hot, but we were able to cool off in the river, see the AMAZING dinosaur footprints and enjoy some gorgeous scenery!  I've always said we need to go back but that was 12 years ago and we still haven't went back!  Gosh, time flies.  I am sure the bluebonnets are starting to bloom now, might be just the excuse to go visit again soon!  If you have never been I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!   I hope you will join us every Thursday for Throwback Thursday at Sketch N Scrap!  Don't forget to hop over and see the other amazing layouts the DT created inspired by this fun sketch!  I can't wait to see what you create!
