Nine Today | Stuck?! Sketches March 15th Challenge

Hi friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at Stuck?! Sketches, and Laura has designed a fun multi-photo sketch to inspire us!

I flipped the sketch horizontally to suit my photos. Here's my layout...

I documented some fun photos that I took of my son when he was opening up his birthday presents last year. I love seeing the surprise and joy on his face! This was the perfect sketch to be able to get these photos scrapped!

I used some older patterned papers from the Heidi Swapp September Skies collection. I love the colours!

Here are some closeups of my page...

I always love embellishing my pages with Charms Creations! The Teal, Spotty and Denim embellishments are so bright and fun and were perfect for this birthday themed layout! I layered a Cocoa Vanilla wood veneer word on top to add some extra interest and dimension! Charms Creations are kindly sponsoring this challenge, so make sure you go and take a look at their gorgeous handmade embellishments, and play along for a chance to win a Charms Creations gift voucher!

For my title, I used a combination of Shimelle chipboard Thickers and an Amy Tangerine foam word sticker. I love that these provide a bold title that really stands out on the page!

To the right of the photos, I added another Charms Creations embellishment, and I popped a wooden button on top, which is from the Shimelle Little by Little collection.

I finished the layout off by adding some little wood veneer and black foam stars to the page. I also added some typed journaling, which I cut into strips.

If you haven't done so already, I hope that you'll head on over to the Stuck?! Sketches blog and take a look at the fabulous layouts created by my fellow design team members! We'd love you to play along with us by creating a layout based on this sketch! Link up your layouts on the Stuck?! Sketches blog by March 29th to be in the running to win a prize from one of our very generous sponsors:

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and taking a look at my layout! Thank you to those who take the time to leave a comment as well - it is always very much appreciated!
