The Scrappiest layout sketch 48

Here's sketch #48 up over at The Scrappiest this week .

& my layout here with our

sponsored Homefront kit by Studio Calico !

woohoo !

I used at least 3 different pps from the SC Homefront line , fabRips &

Alpha Stickers .

Remember there's a fab SC Homefront kit prize this Jan to play for
but you gotta take part to win !

I do believe this is the year I conquer any unfounded fears of

using /cutting incorporating circles into my creations . ;)

Here I used a dinner plate & a kid sized plate to cut out this circular frame for this sketch .

It was handcut with my fave HoneyBee scissors &

 even if I hadn't distressed the edges it would have been presentable enough to use as is ,

ie the result was with fairly smooth edges .

For added interest, I twirled a brown twill  ribbon

to add to the movement & energy

 captured with these shots of our 5 year-old nephew at a park.

Other supplies : Such Sweet Tierney buttons , Robin's Nest dew drops ,

Shimmerz spritz in Liquorice , Treasured Hymn, Maya Mist Charcoal, Black Soot & Walnut Distressed Inks.
