Layouts from a Crop

Hello my scrappy friends!  I recently went at a 12 hour crop and completed a few layouts.  Well, not quite completed.  I always have to tweak them when I get home...add a little bling or stickles or some kind of embellishment.  I tend not to bring too many little things with me when cropping.  What do you bring when you go cropping?

This first layout, sketch from My Mind's Eye, June Sketch Challenge, is of my son Declan writing his name in chalk with the help of his Aunt Pruie (my sister Prudence).  I'm entering it into challenges for Sketches4All "travel" ingredients challenge, About A Boy June 15th challenge - Going in Circles, and Paper Secrets June 15th Sketch with a Twist...using product with numbers (aside from alpha sets) bingo cards, price tags, rulers, etc. on your layout.
My patterned papers are from Sassafras stacks Amplify and Monstrosity.




My second and final layout (for today's post) is another of my son, a few years older!  He was getting ready for a boy scout function and I just had to take some photos of my boy growing older.  This fabulous sketch is from Sketchabilitieshttp://sketchabilities.blogspot.com/2013/06/Sketch93DesignTeamRevealwithWant2Scrap.html, #93.  This layout will be entered in challenges for Scrap Our Stash all about our guys challenge using at least 5 brads, Sketches 4 All technique challenge using old papers.  I used a page under the fleur de lis from an old book. I inked and distressed the paper trying to mimic the color and design of my son's uniform neckerchief.  Lastly, this layout is being entered into Colorful Creations June monthly challenge using shapes..  I used circles...for the mats of the fleur de lis (cut from my Cricut) and inked circles all over the background paper using a water bottle cap!  All of the paper used is from K & Co. Boy Scouts of America: Cub Scouts paper stack.



Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

    1. Thanks for your comment Devra! Those circles are made from ink. I used a plastic bottle cap, pushed it into my ink pads, then stamped it on my page! Super easy for a fun look :)
