Another double pager!

Yes, another double pager this week! This one is based on Let's Scrap sketch 4-27-11. I started working with Studio Calico State Fair's papers in mind, so I created this background with heat embossed numbers and letters. Then, on one of the trips to my scraproom (I was scrapping with DD in the living room), I found these Twig embellies and loved them, so it ended up being a different layout. Not sure I like the background for these embellies, but everything was glued and I didn't want to fussy cut everything to glue it on another background. 

Fabric and stitching

Fabric and stitching were the two elements that had to be included for this week's DT challenge at Let's Scrap. Great chance to use up some cute fabric scraps I've had for some time:

The fence, the strip and the banner are fabric, as well as the pieces behind the torn patterned paper. I hand stitched on the green strip as well as two of the buttons. There are 18 pieces of chipboard!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to miss this chipboard set when it's finished, it's just too cute. My Stockholm a,lbum is definitely getting thicker and I love just looking at how big it's getting!!! Far from finished, though. 

Let's Scrap - Sketch 6-30-10

What a beautiful sketch! Loved working on it, and loved using the new fabrics I've just received. I couldn't make the bubbles in the photo loook as delicate as they do on the layout itself, though.... :(

Here's a close-up of the bubbles, I insist they look much better in real life!

And this is a detail of the border, I punched holes and made cuts in it to give it the appearence of paper torn from a notebook, as in the sketch. I like the final result.

And, in case you haven't guessed already, the title means BUBBLES! :)
