Today is the reveal day for the 28th Sassies from Sassy Lil’ Sketches.
This is the sketch used for inspiration.
I used papers from my Scarlet Lime kit again (have I told you this is an awesome kit?). These were by Crate Paper and were from the Paper Doll Collection as well as some Sophie papers. A little T!m Holtz metal thown in. Add a touch of fabric trim and Thickers and we’ve got a layout. (I need to start keeping a better list of each manufacturer and the product I use and start creating a recipe card).
I added zig-zag stitching throughout. I also liked this little touch of stamping I did. I used a big foam stamp from CK that I had and stamped part on the picture and part on the paper using Distress Ink and I liked the effect.
Now, see that little baby on the screen porch? That is my Momma being held by her Uncle Charles (my great uncle). I love these photos and am so glad I now get to put some stories with some of them and document them for my future generations.
I was also really excited to use this wax twine. I’ve had this for years and just haven’t found a good use for it and don’t know why I ever picked it up. Anyway, the color and texture was perfect for this layout.
So, wasn’t this a great sketch? Why not see what you can do with this sketch and share it with us as Sassy Lil’ Sketches to be entered in for a monthly prize!!
Hope you enjoyed your visit with me today. Thanks for stopping by to see me.

Love the colors you used in this layout and I especially like all the little touches – page tucked away behind the journaling and the ties on the ends of the journaling block. My KC lifted your idea of the ties on a tag book she just finished.
