Sketch 53 is up & running over at the Scrappiest this week.
& just for this week I have take 2 here for this sketch.
( you can see my original take using mainly Prima over at the Scrappiest )
My latest mailing of Such Sweet Tierney buttons arrived
soon after my latest scrappy purchase last week.
Now I'm very happy to report that I am keeping up with my one of my goals
this year to keep expenditure on the latest & greatest scrappy findings
to at least 50% ( or better ! ) of last year's spending .
One of the best ways is simply to buy 2-4 pps per line that interests you .
And certainly not every coordinating embellie in sight.
So, this time, I got hold of 3 pps of the SF Cherrylicious line ,3 pps of the CC Material girl , 2 of the JB Homespun pps etc etc a coupla of Dear Lizzy pps ...I skipped the latest Anna Griffin ( they are beautiful as always ! ) , MME & Teresa Collins . woot !
We got lucky here that quite a few brands landed at the same time last week
so I was able to buy the latest in a more coordinated way & have 'em kit up .
I managed to use some of the Sass Cherrylicious pps here for this layout ,
mixed with some SEI snowflaked pp , and a Dear Lizzy Golden Gleam pp ,
Doodlebug Design snowflake stickers
Doodlebug Design snowflake stickers
For the title I used a CI cardstock sticker & then I used fibre & yarn
with the Such Sweet Tierney snowflake themed buttons
for some fun , textured wintry feel of a different kind .
Gotta love the details on these buttons .
I don't worry about having to do my own stamping when I use these as accents.
After I finished the layout I realised I could have used my new Prima music score stamp
in some of the white spaces .
( oh well ! perhaps the next layout then ! :)

Great page, Pearl! And I love your philosophy on spending this year. Sounds like you have a very do-able plan for yourself. That way, you still get all the new goodies, but just in moderation.
I love the colors you've used on this one pearl!!! It's perfect for that cute photos
That blue and pink look gorgeous together.
Love this snowy LO and what a fun way for you to be able to scrap snow!! The buttons are amazing!! I love your very well planned out goal to reduce scrapping costs!! I really need to follow along. I was looking through my stash last night and almost feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes it feels bad to have too much. :( Having said that, I picked up some Prima paper last week. LOL I have never used that paper brand before and thought of you as I was buying it! ;) I also picked up some MME Lush supplies for a small album so, so far my efforts to stop buying are failing. :( I'll keep your wise words in mind!! :)
I love your philosophy on spending too. And your page is gorgeous, as always. Those buttons really are da bomb!
Glad you could use the wintery photos! ^-^
This is a great mix of papers as well, and good thinking about scrap spending... I'm trying to use up my stash, but as everyone else I always end up just buying more... ^^;; Also buying too many of the same paper if I really like it...
Anyways, lovely work, and I'm so glad the boys are still inspiring you! ^o^
How fun you used the sketch twice! but I agree, they are great to use! Love your layout! (but could you please explain the photos??? I blog hopped to the Metal Minish blog but didn't get any wiser...? and because I've seen several lo's with their photos I thought I'd ask...hope you don't mind!).
Hugs,
Monique
