Let's Scrap Hoppy New Year Blog Hop:Resolution #13

Hoppy New Year! Today is the beginning of the month long blog hop at Let’s Scrap. . There are fifteen resolutions (challenges) to play along with. Yes, resolutions. We thought it would be cool naming our challenges resolutions. If you click on the blog hop icon on the sidebar of my blog, it will link you to a list of all the rules of the blog hop. Please take time to read through these, before you begin. I have also listed links to all fifteen of the challenges right below it. I will leave these links up the entire time, so that you have quick access to all the resolutions/challenges at any given time.

I am hosting Resolution #13. My challenge to you is a 'cardstock only' layout. The rules are:

First and foremost

-You need to become a member of Let’s Scrap.

-You must use a Let's Scrap sketch (there are many to choose from)

-The layout must consist of cardstock only (no pattern paper allowed!)

-You may use a few small embellies (ie, buttons, chipboard elements, flowers)

-You must post your layout in the Let's Scrap gallery and tag it with Resolution#13 and the sketch # that you used

The cool thing about cardstock, is there are a world of options. So many colors and types. You can sand, tear, distress, emboss, etc. The possibilties are endless! I used 5 colors of Core'dinates cardstock, glitter cardsock from American Crafts and a bit of kraft. Core'dinates cardstock is so much fun, because it is embossed and there are so many styles and colors to choose from. I sanded mine, to give it a bit of a distressed look. The glitter cardstock gives it some sparkle and the kraft adds a bit of simplicity. I used some of my Martha Stewart punches and very few embellies. Thickers for my titlle, some dymo tape for my journaling and I even sewed a bit. Here is my layout:

This is the sketch it was based on (ls119):

I flipped the sketch sideways for my layout:
