The American Crafts Studio Blog challenge for last week:
Here's mine (sorry for the yuck photo...it's late and dark outside...I'll update this tomorrow with a nicer photo):
I used a whole sheet of stickers from American Crafts' Moda Bella line. I didn't even peel them off the clear backing, just attached it to a piece of white cardstock and stitched it to my layout. Wish I'd thought of it sooner because I really like the burst of color and up 'til now, I had a hard time using these stickers...just couldn't commit! ;)
You can see that I inserted a little photo into the sticker frame:
The journaling is a combination from two sources:
- The "Slice of Life" quiz from Simple Scrapbooks Scrapbook Shortcuts with Quizzes and Questions
- An inspiring set of prompts called "For Today" that my friend Heather posts every so often (I really love when she posts them, and I've been wanting to do the same on my blog
It's not too clear in the photos, but I used Hero Arts Houndstooth to stamp the turquoise paper.
Okay, that's it for me this evening. Good night, y'all!
Supplies: Stickers, patterned paper, ribbon: American Crafts; Punch: Fiskars; Stamp: Hero Arts; Buttons: Basic Grey

this layout is amazing mary! i love that you stuck the entire sticker sheet on there. i did that once with little word fetti stickers and thought it was such an easy thing to do, that looked cool. and how fun to stick your little photo in the frame. love the journaling idea ... i may need to "borrow" this idea ;)

I have that quizzes and questions book, too... I need to pull it out and use it more often :) I love it! And how clever to use a whole sheet of stickers at once. I saw Laura do that one time, too!
And, y the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

Yikes, where is my comment? I left one earlier, and came back to look at this again but it didn't appear.. I absolutely LOVE this layout, it's brilliant! LOVE those Remarks stickers ( one of my faves) and how cool to use a whole sheet! Great journaling prompts too- love Heather's 'today' posts too.
This is a definite future scraplift. :)
