Welcome to my first layout of 2025 for Sketches in Thyme Facebook Group. I am beginning a new project for 2025, I am scrapping a trip to Chicago from 2022. I like it when I can complete a layout without having to dig in my stash. Don't get me wrong, when I want a specific item I will dig. My stash is organized but massive hence where "dig" comes into play. Anyway, I just acquired this K & Co paper stack at Indigo Hippo and they were right by my desk because they had not been filed away. I immediately recognized how they would compliment my Frida Exhibit photos from this trip.
All the embellies were handy too, I only had to "dig" for the purple iridescent letters. I have all my alphas organized in hanging file folder by color, only I had to move some boxes that were in front of the file cabinet. I have my neutral letters in a closer file cabinet that is right by my desk, but the colors spilled into another cabinet. I have my desktops sitting on short file cabinets. I have two desktops running continuously along the wall. So four file cabinets. The two under the desk I use are filled with 8.5x11 cardstock and the two under the other desk are letters.
Here is the sketch I am using. You can find it and others on the Facebook group.
I have had these letters in my stash for many years, I love when I get a chance to use them.
I die cut several pieces of foliage and leaves in green, paper remaining from the sheet which I cut the corners. I had some of these puffy stickers laying around my desk. It was a multiple color set and I used all the oranges, yellows and some purples for another recent project. I used the greens and the remaining purples here. I only have some blues left. I love to use up my stash!
I fussy cut sections from a coordinating sheet of paper in the stack the green corners. It's hard to capture in the photo, but there is a neat metallic purple sheen to the dots. I had this stamped Frida image in my stash from years ago. I cannot tell you what I used to color it.
Ingredients:
K & Co papers
Frida stamp
puffy stickers and misc embellies
