Stick it Down: March Double Sketch Challenge!

I pretty much ALWAYS do double pages, aside from the first and last page of my scrapbooks, I like for there to be cohesion between pages that are next to each other. I was so excited to find the Stick it Down Double Sketches!

This is the March Double Sketch
 
I wanted to try something new with this layout and instead of using paper to layer the circle on top of my background paper I cut a hole in the background paper to put the circle underneath. I think it created an interesting look that I have never done before, what do you think?
 

For this layout I chose a combination of papers, the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 3 "Oliver" for the majority of this layout, but also included a page from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Lost and Found paper stash. I love the fun youthful feel of the bottle caps! I also used vellum quotes from colorbok, my newest addiction- the inkadinkado stamping gear, and fun sparkly brads!  




 
I think this layout conveys my son's natural ability to find the fun in any activity, it captures his silliness and his love for life! I am so thankful to Stick it Down for inspiring me, everyone should check out their challenges, if double pages aren't your thing they have single challenges and card challenges too! Awesome!
 
Have a scrap'n good time, y'all!

  4. Great pages! I love your paper choices and what you did with the circle. I hope you don't mind if I 'scraplift' your idea. The brads and bottle caps really add to your layout. It looks like the little one had a great time. Thanks so much for joining us at Stick it Down. Hope to see you back with us next month.
