A Braddy Layout

Hi! I'm out of school for Presidents' Day today (just a weather day, really) and I completed a layout for the Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge to use brads or eyelets on your project! You can find the challenge here.

I have had this Jillibean Soup "Chicken Soup" paper for what seems like a while (some of it over 6 months, then I bought some more goodies to match back in Nov./ Dec.) with scrapping our animals in mind. Well, we got baby goats January 31st (on a Tuesday) and the momma died the following Saturday. :( So now we have little orphan goaties. We feed them formula in baby bottles now. I thought this paper was "appropriate" for this page. 

It's kinda funny... I started out with a TOTALLY different approach to this layout, then I decided I didn't like it and just made it up as I went along! This is my first layout that I really like how I layered everything. (Maybe I AM finally getting the hang of it!)

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Jillibean Soup

Cardstock: Stampin' Up!, The Paper Studio

Brads: The Paper Studio, Target, American Crafts

Letter Stickers: Making Memories, Jillibean Soup (question mark: American Crafts)

Buttons: Michael's, American Crafts, other

Pen: American Crafts

Stickers: Jillibean Soup

Other: Burlap

In all, I used 23 brads on this layout! Wow! What a stretch for me; I hardly ever use brads!

Frosted Designs Card!

I have a card to share with you that I made from a Frosted Designs card sketch! This card was really fun to make, and for some reason I just felt like using gray as the background color for this card. I also challenged myself to mix different letter sticker fonts, and so I did that too on this card. It added a nice bit of color, I think!

As you can see, I rotated the sketch, but I kept the 3 brads on either end of the paper strip.
