Sunday at the Studio


Today at The Studio Challenges we have a sketch to inspire you. I lifted the sketch from Jan's page from a few months back. Love her simple, clean style and thought her layout could be interpreted in so many cool ways. I didn't stray far from the original, which you can see right here


Tons of Little Yellow Bicycle on this page. That background paper is almost vintage - and even though it's a big pattern, it had enough detail and color to read behind my white base. Here's my title with that ancient map tape I've been abusing lately:

And a close up of the photo cluster. Those small letters sticker are American Crafts - loving the color and font on those little gems. I don't splatter ink very often but when I do, this in one of my faves; Mister Huey in Sunshine:
There are two chances to win stamp sets from Teresa Collins this month so I hope you will link up your projects. And don't forget to stop by the blog to see how are amazing team interpreted this challenge - you are sure to be inspired!

Now, it's back to the loathsome job of painting my scrap room (A.K.A. the other half of my bedroom) which is covered in hideous paneling (that up until 1 hour ago was brown). It's Benjamin Moore Super White  for me this time - because I'm desperate for a big, bright transformation. I'll share photos when I'm done.

Also, will be back tomorrow with some happy news to share :)
Thanks for stopping by today!

Love the patterned paper backdrop. Very cool to use such a crazy piece of paper for the boarder. Usually those papers scare me. It looks awesome here. :)
