Sketchy Saturday May 22, 2010 & altered layout

Just got the news that I won $ towards digital images.

I ordered some fabulous new digital images...

from Michelle Perkett. Thanks for the great challenge

and I do plan to play along again.

Michelle Perkett Studios has a challenge to use ribbon/lace and circles.. and one of her images.

I had just done this layout...so with a little additions I added a lace border, circle lace flower with gem stone and a ribbon bow... and there are circle buttons... and the image is one of Michelle's.

I thought it would be fun to share with her a layout instead of a card.

Simply Scrapping Sketchy Saturday. This layout was fun. Using these photos was perfect to use the freebie image from Michelle... bear in hands. Lots of layers, stitching, all around punched borders, and lots of journaling around outer 3 edges.

Also this week we had Colour Challenge Thursday.
