Stop! Papa Time!

 

 

 

Couldn't resist the post title, although I did not go so far in the layout. 

I've missed the last few Elle's Studio sketches and wanted to jump back into it this week.

This photo is from our vacation this summer in Lake Lanier, Georgia.  It's never easy to get a photo of Andrew - especially when he's in vacation mode, but I was able to capture some quiet time that he and the girls had down at the lake one day. 

I'm really happy with how this turned out too since I was able to incorporate a lot of stamping (one of my goals for the year is to do more stamping on my layouts), and I got to try a new technique.

I'm using Mama Elephant's On Target set, a gift from my sweet friend Cheiron.

I used the target image to create a grid (I did measure it out in advance since i'm just not that good).  Then I stamped one of the arrows along the grid lines in second generation. 



The corner pieces are my first attempt at the current chalkboard stamping fad.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, although I think my embossing powder is a bit old because it's supposed to be white, but looks more off white.  In either case, it was a fun new technique to try.



I added some other stamped accents from the On Target stamp set in Garnet ink, and a some Elle's tags and Freckled Fawn wood veneer arrows, but overall tried to keep this pretty simple.



Thanks so much for coming by, hope you are having a great day!
