Puzzled and some Candy

 


 
One of my favorite sketch challenges to participate in these days is over at Pretty Little Studio.  The layouts are simple, balanced, and leave plenty of room for interpretation.

Here is this week's sketch:


I'm using My Little Shoebox's Up in the Trees collection.  Sometimes when you're pressed for time, it's great to just pull out a collection and use it exclusively.  Even with limited time, when I'm not off mixing and matching products, I can add some extra touches to make it special.

Here I did some fussy cutting to incorporate two of the patterned papers - the paper with the banners that I used at the top of the page, and one with kind of vertical strings of hearts and dots which I cut for the vertical element.



Add some great photos, cardstock stickers and journaling, and that's all she wrote.



And, I did mention some candy, right?  Some great things are coming, and since I can't share about them quite yet, I thought maybe I would share a little blog candy.  Here's what you could win:



It includes stamps from Pink Paislee, We R Memory Keepers, Inkadinkadoo, Unity, and some Webster's Pages embellishments. 

All you have to do is leave a comment.  If you're a follower (which is not required) leave an extra comment.  I'll draw a winner Sunday night and post it on Monday.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock/Stickers:  My Little Shoebox - Up in the Trees Collection
