S.I.T #480 OA Nominee

Hello I'm back with another scout layout using Sketches in Thyme #480

I used the base of the layout and altered it a bit to work with my theme and photo.

I've got to start with a little bragging on my son and myself

Eric was nominated to be an Arrowmen in the Order of the Arrow. It's a service organization within the BSA program.  Since his nomination and induction, he has gone on to lead other youth through the induction process even though he never had a traditional induction ceremony due to COVID.  Super proud of him.

Also pretty pleased with myself as well as I used a premade border on this layout.  My CM consultant had an open house at the end of July and I made the border at her make and take station.  I opted to use the cloud BMC instead of the flag banner border punch as I thought it was more versatile for my crafting and I used the B side of the United we stand paper pack for the same reason.  The original was much wider than what's on the layout but by deconstructing it to cut the banner down I was able to use the extras to build the layout.

Mixed and matched the embellishments to create the other elements in the layout.

The firework bursts/ star stickers are CM  in place of the 2.5x 3.75 element and the shield/ arrows are K and company in place of the circle element.  

Thanks for stopping by to take a peak

 

Sketch N Scrap #230

 I'm taking advantage of my inability to sleep.  Up at 2 AM, let's scrap.

Still working my way through my son's scout photos using the August sketch at 

Sketch N Scrap

I rotated the sketch to fit my photo orientation as well as changed the title location.

Super proud of myself for using up some of my scraps too.  I had two bigger chunks of Amy Tan papers from some TSR kits.  They mixed together nicely with the CM rainbow scallop sticker and enamel shapes.  I don't know the source or manufacturer of the brads and food truck as those pieces I inherited.  

 finished the whole thing off with some black nuvo drops

love how the mixture of items makes for an interesting cluster.  So glad I skimmed through my kit leftover stash for this watermelon slice.  I figured even if Eric was sauteing onions any food item would work.  Totally in love with the swim goggles to keep his eyes from watering, so innovative
