Frida Exhibit layout for Sketches in Thyme

Welcome to my blog today.  I am scrapping for Sketches in Thyme Facebook Group.  I began a new project for 2025, I am scrapping a trip to Chicago from 2022.  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.  I also used them on my last Frida layout last month.  On this layout, I found some different embellies, but these pieces were hanging out on my desk.  

Here's the sketch.

I also acquired this ephemera pack at  Indigo Hippo as well.  There's always a nice surprise at that store.  I used the moon as the centerpiece of this cluster.  I added die cuts and fiber.

I inked up the chipboard pieces with a variety of Distress inks.

I used Cheery Lynn dies and inked up them up with Distress inks.

Ingredients:

K & Co papers

Cheery Lynn Designs Mehndi Botanical Stem dies

Distress inks:  Wild Honey, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Saltwater Taffy, Worn Lipstick, and Spiced Marmalade

Momento Dew Drop London Fog ink

Hip Kit Club Flourishes by Kim & Kimberly ephemera

Fiber and gems

Stampin Up Be My Valentine for Atlantic Hearts challenge

Welcome to my blog today.  It's that time!  Time for an Atlantic Hearts Challenge inspiration card.  I began this card with some pretty papers I purchased second hand. The 12x12 papers were cut into 6x6 samples.  You would never know this was cat themed paper (Doodlebug Design Pretty Kitty Collection 12 x 12 Paper Pack) if I didn't tell you.  These papers made for a pretty sweet Valentine's card though, didn't they?

Here is the sketch I used from Atlantic Hearts Challenge.

I fussy cut the hearts from a sheet of paper.  I shadowed the heart at the top.  I love how it turned out.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up PS I Love You sentiment stamp

Stampin Up Rose Red ink

Doodlebug Design Pretty Kitty Collection 12 x 12 Paper Pack
