Studio Calico Bluegrass Farms Home Layout

     So when I saw the Etch-A-Sketch challenge over at the Child's Play blog my first thought was that I was out for this round.  The only thing I could ever draw was a house.  My mom dropped off a picture of her house a few days later for our son's album since he asks every day to visit Grandma, and I was ready to go! I ended up doing the layout for me though as the more I looked at it I kept thinking that no matter how old I get or where I go....my parents will always feel like home.
     I think it took longer to get a half decent photo of my layout than it did to complete it!  The papers, stickers, and titles are from the April 2014 Studio Calico scrapbook kit Bluegrass farms.  The little orange bag that is holding my journalling is from the Fancy Pants Be Different collection.  The flair is by Janna Werner, and the washi is from my stash. I combined more products than I realized!
     I also loved the May 15th sketch at Sketch~N~Scrap, and used that for the my design. They have such great inspiration month after month!

  7. All I could ever draw with the Etch a Sketch was staircases, so you're doing better than I could with drawing a house. :) Thanks for sharing this lovely, colorful page with us at CPC.
