Don't get me wrong--I love that the kids love soccer and that we all go to practices and games together, but every night of the week someone has SOMETHING and it just gets exhausting. Of course Little Miss only actually has 2 days off from school and every day since last week has been 1/2 days which means tons of back and forth for me and not much time to create. But I did get to work on the Jillibean Soup sketch this month (created by Julie Bonner). Here is the sketch:
I stuck pretty close to the sketch, but turned the single photo into 3 small vertical photos (from Thanksgiving 2009). All the patterned papers, stickers, alphas etc are Jillibean Soup:
Lots of sewn edges and a stitched paper ruffle...
some inked edges...
and of course, typewritten journaling (I am definitely getting a bang for my buck with that thing)...
As with all my layouts lately, and from here on out, this entire project was adhered with Therm O Web adhesives. I use the Tape Runner XL for the main pieces, 3D Zots to pop things up like the Home Grown sticker and Small Zots to adhere the corrugated letters.
LOVE LOVE LOVE it all.
Alright, gotta get everyone into bath and bed. Have a great night!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful job with the sketch!! I like the 3 small photos, very nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear ya with being busy. We have something every night, too. I love when soccer practice gets cancelled every once in a while! :-)
I'm in agreement with you-I love that dd is in sports now, but combined with TONS of homework, social engagements, life and my boy's busy schedule, some days it's too chaotic and I am so glad we are done this week with sports until Jan!
