Puddle Fun...(and a sale at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff)

My Layout, "Spring Rain":A Close-Up Of My Title:I made this layout using the Puddle Fun Digistamp set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Shop Handmade store, pictured below:



I printed the cool Rain Boots and Umbrella on some Making Memories glitter polka dot paper, and added shading with my Copics.


I based my layout on this week's new sketch from Sketchy Thursday's sketch blog.


I used mostly supplies from my Wildflower Add-on kit to the March Counterfeit Kit. I started with the light blue grid paper by DCWV, then put the Basic Grey Doily lace paper on top of that. I put a strip of Kraft cardstock from my main kit in the center to "ground" my photo, then cut up and added the awesome Girl's Paperie border strips, which I inked with pink ink and attached above and below the kraft paper. I pulled out the scrap of Basic Grey Basics paper(leftover from making my Envelopes for one of my add-on kits), and put it above the photo to use as a journaling spot. I embellished it with the AWESOME digistamps (who doesn't love pink wellies with glitter polka dots?!! And the matching umbrella?), some ancient chipboard brackets from my stash, which I wrapped with the Pink Paislee Artisan Tape from my main Counterfeit Kit. I made the title with the pink/white polka dot foam letter stickers, and finished the layout off with a scrolly cream colored heart charm, some pink satin ribbon roses, pale blue pom-pom trim, and an embellished butterfly (that I got from Meridy in a swap!), all from my Wildflower add-on kit. I just love the way this page turned out, so soft, and pretty and girlie!


This layout qualifies for the following challenges:

    Oh my gosh! This layout is so cute. I am so looking forward to scraplift it...Full credit to you of course!

    I love the way you do several challenges for differing clubs at once. I think this would be a good motivator for me to actually get things done!

    I have bookmarked your other challenge clubs to look into later.
