Never a Dull Moment ~My Creative Sketches~

Welcome to reveal day at My Creative Sketches! Today we are revealing the September Sketch Challenge and I will be sharing with you my take on it. 

 For this layout I chose to use Bo Bunny's Weekend Market Collection. It has a real masculine feel to it, and it went perfectly with this charming photo my niece took of their son, Jacob! He really is a charmer!

 Here is the sketch we had to work with....designed by Liz Chidester, for My Creative Scrapbook. It sure was fun for me to work with!

Here is a close up of the photo of Jacob! I chose to duplicate the photo, double the fun! I distressed the edges and off set them a bit.  I used a Prima stencil of clocks with modeling paste on the paper behind, though you can't see too much of it and I used some cardboard with gesso behind that, surrounded by cheese cloth.

in this photo you can see the Dusty Attic hinge I used. I painted it first with Tim Holtz's metallic distress paints, some teal chalk ink and some Recollections Microbeads. I also used a Prima Chevron stencil and some modeling paste.

For the title I used a Blue Ferns Studio chippie title and treated it very similarly to the DA hinge. I used a Prima checkers stencil/modeling paste in behind the photo area and used some Glimmer Mist in Dragon Fly and some Gelato's in white, blue and a touch of green.

In this corner I fussy cut some more strips and images from the paper collection and popped them up for more dimension. I also did some random stamping with a Prima stamp and coffee Archival Ink. I added a Tim Holtz belt buckle which I distessed a bit with gesso and teal chalk ink. I also randomly stamped some white circles with gesso/microbeads and a toilet paper roll! Anything can be a tool!
