Yesterday was rainy & cold in the northeast - perfect weather to work on my layout for the Ella Sketch Challenge. Here is this week's sketch:
and here's what I made (so far):
Supplies: patterned paper: K & Co. (Amy Butler), Stampin Up; cardstock, stamping ink: Close To My Heart; letter stickers: American Crafts, Making Memories; rubber stamp: Hero Arts; mist ink: Tattered Angels; lined paper: Jenni Bowlin Studio; ribbon: Making Memories; punch: Martha Stewart Crafts
I rotated the sketch and broke the lower photo into 4 small photos. I went back to the mist (sounds mysterious) for some background interest, and I used my brand-spankin'-new doily stamp. It's a new Hero Arts stamp that I fell in love with on sight the other day. I've been dying to use it. (We haven't seen the last of that guy.)I also used the actual tickets from the ballet we attended. No point in letting all that stuff sit in a box somewhere. I need to find a better system for keeping track of the ephemera -the tickets, receipts and collected paper stuff. Anyone have a system that is working? I mean well but wind up scattering it all over the place. (Those tickets on the layout are from last week - it took me 45 minutes to find them!)

Very nice. As far as Ephemera goes- each kid has clip board hanging in my studio. I simply clip stuff up there. No flat surface clutter that way. If I am really organized, I scan stuff every week and file in a folder on the computer.
The Ella layout is on my list today, perhaps I'll get it done?
I love your take on this layout. Cute photos too. I've recently started storing my memorabilia & ephemera in old sleeves used for embellishment storage. I can't remember what they were called. They fit right in my 3-ring binder. I slip a card in the pocket with an explanation or stick a label on the outside where the item is stored. I'm thinking this will be a good way to keep them organized and they can still be enjoyed as is if I never get around to using them on a page.
Thanks so much - these are both great ideas!
" I went back to the mist (sounds mysterious)" - lol, that's so funny.
Lovely layout, I especially like the stitching around the border.
I love your take on the sketch - especially that you made it your own. And I also like that you added the ticket from your day. :)
