All Things Grow With Love ~ Stuck On U Sketches ~~ WAS FEATURED OVER A LASTING MEMORIES ~ WAS CHOSEN AS A TOP 3 OVER AT LASTING MEMORIES AND WAS THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER OVER AT LASTING MEMORIES!!!


Hi everyone!!  It's Friday and that means another wonderful sketch challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches!!  This one is from our Co-Leader Sandi Clarkson, and you can do, ooooh, so many things with it!!!

Here is the sketch...


Now, if you are familiar with my layouts, you know I don't do CAS layouts very often.... It's not because I don't like them... I really do...  In fact, I love the way your main focus is on the photos on a CAS layout...  I just usually try to add more layers and embellies on my layouts...  But when I saw this sketch from Sandi, I loved the simplicity of it and therefore decided to see if I could  make a layout focusing on the photo only, but still wanted it to be pretty.  I must say it was a little hard for me, and I still think I need to add more...  not for sure what..  But this is what I come up with!!!


Here are a few close ups..


Top...  Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Punched Border and Corners, Bazzill Die Cut Strip, Cabochons, K&Company Brenda Walton Cardstock Bees..



Bottom Right...   Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Punched Border and Corner, QuicKutz Corner Flourish Die Cut,  K&Company Brenda Walton Cardstock Butterflies and Flowers, Stamped Title and then Embossed with Black EP, Martha Stewart Cherish Punched Corner/Border, and Prima Say It In Pearls...



Bottom Left...   Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Punched Border and Corner, QuicKutz Corner Flourish Die Cut, K&Company Brenda Walton Cardstock Butterflies and Flowers, Martha Stewart Cherish Punched Corner/Border, and Prima Say It In Pearls... 


This layout will qualify for a few challenges
CropStop ~ Let's Hear it for the Children
PaperPlay Challenge ~ Use a Die
Lasting Memories ~ Photo Inspiration
Divas By Design ~ To Die For
Papertake Weekly ~ Bingo (I used Punches, Glitter, Blooms)
Paper Playtime ~ Add a Sentiment

Here is the list of scrappy things I used on this layout..

Black Cardstock
KaiserCraft ~ Sweet Nothings Collection
Bazzill Cardstock Die Cut
Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Border/Corner Punches
QuicKutz Flourish Corners Die
