April 2011 issue
I was excited when I pulled out this adorable strawberry paper from Torendi's April Kit "Fresh Mix" because I still had one more awesome pic to scrap from last year's Mother's Day Tea Party at my son's preschool and the tablecloth at our table was almost the same pattern!!!
I love this week's sketch:
I veered off a bit from the sketch but I promise it was the starting point. Funny thing about scrapping this event for ST...the last time I scrapped this event was the first time I ever entered a Sketchy Thursdays challenge, back when they were on Diana's blog! (See that original layout HERE. Sheesh! Even then I reinterpreted the sketches!! I'm a cocky little one, aren't I? LOL.)
Lots of fun trims on here. The red mesh is from some tomatoes. The white mesh is from my Easter ham! The white sheer ribbon and the strawberry ribbon are from the Torendi "Fresh Mix" kit.
I wanted to use some Fastenator staples on here but didn't have the right color red ones so I colored some silver ones with alcohol ink.
Of course, had to get some stitching in there. Stitched the little title flags. And now that I've figured out I can get good looking zig zag stitch by stitching on the backside of a layout, I went to town on the picture mat. I finished that off with some meandering red stitching.
Stop by the Sketchy Thursdays blog to check out what the Design Team made for your inspiration and play along with us!!!!! This week's sponsor is Green Horned Unicorn - who also happens to be a member of the ST DT now, too!!!!
Hope your April is shaping up beautifully!!
