Stuck?! Sketches: November 15th Sketch and Reveal

Hello, everyone! Mid-month already!! WOW! I really don't know where the days are going. However, I do know that I've had the chance to scrap with some awesome Laura Whitaker sketches as of late and today's the day for another reveal over at Stuck?! Sketches. Ready? Here's the sketch:


And here's my design:


Tons and tons and tons of Basic Grey's Hey You! collection on this one along with some of its Hey Boy! and Hello! collections (patterned paper, button, brad, clips, stickers, labels - and my personal favourite: the plane I cut out from packaging!). I also added BG, Tim Holtz and American Crafts alphas along with a Fancy Pants cork star, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, Prima washi tape (if memory serves me well!), Stampin' Up cardstock (for my journalling strips) and stitching. Yes, hand-stitching done using my Tim Holtz ruler and some DMC floss, as always. Oh! And who could forget my ever-so-faithful Making Memories black staples? Love those little boogers! Ah! And that scalloped border was made using my Stampin' Up basic scallop border punch - a MUST in any scrapbooker's stash, if I do say so myself. ;)

Ready to see what the rest of the Stuck?! Sketches team came up with for this sketch? There is LOTS of inspiration for sure. Hop on over here and be prepared to be amazed! And guess what!? If you link your own design based on today's sketch on the link over at today's Stuck?! Sketches reveal, you'll get a few chances to win some fabulous prizes by some amazing sponsors - a $25 gift card from Creative Embellishments and a $15 gift card from Freckled Fawn. WOO!HOO!

And now for some super exciting news! Stuck?! Sketches is hosting another Guest Designer call! If you are interested in applying for the call, please link up a layout ocwe on the Stuck?!

A mix and match type of deal with this one, I went hunting for some scrappy fabulousness in my Scrapbook & Cards Today's Crop & Create goodie bags I've collected over the years. We've got some Basic Grey, Fancy Pants, and Jillibean Soup patterned papers, with some My Mind's Eye die-cuts, Tim Holtz rubons, Simple Stories tags, American Crafts, Basic Grey, and Pink Paislee alphas, Cosmo Cricket tiny text, American Crafts brad, Stampin' Up clip, Prima flower, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, Elizabeth Craft Designs Peel-offs, and some stitching, using an awesome Bazzill Basics circle template and some DMC floss.

With awesome sketches like Laura produces, no wonder! ;) And of course, if you yourself submit your own designs over on the Stuck?!
