Sept 15th Reveal

Since it is SKETCHABILITIES one year b-day celebration, I thought it only befitting to produce a birthday layout for the reveal. Of course, it was my daughter's 5th birthday a few weeks ago so that helped get me in the spirit and gave me ample opportunity to get some good b-day shots.





I had a good time making this one. I used a lot of random papers and stickers that I had lying around. The candles were made by rolling up some scraps of paper into which I placed some twine for the wick. I debated on using real candles but was concerned the wax would mess up the page protector. Besides, these paper candles were much more fun to make. I also loved that the Bo Bunny background paper already had numbers running across the top and bottom so I could highlight that this was S's 5th Bday (yes, my baby is 5 already, where did the time go??!?).

Back to School

Every CHA I swear I won't buy a ton of new school related supplies, but every year I can't resist and purchase more than I could ever really use. This year was no exception. I had to order the new Bo Bunny line as soon as it came out. Thursday night I decided to start using some of it up so I won't feel so inundated when the new Crate Paper line gets here (because I couldn't resist that school line either)...or when the new Studio Calico Line gets here (almost forgot I have that one coming....oy!).



This is almost all Bo Bunny. A couple of the stickers are from the BG basics lines and those chipboard apples are from FP (I must have had these for like 2 years now!). The alphas are Jillibean, BG, and AC thickers. The envelope is 7G.
