Pick Your Side SOS September Sketch Challenge - BBQ in NYC!

Hi Everyone!  I had so much fun with this month's Pick Your Side Sketch Challenge from the Scrap Our Stash Blog!  I hope you will play along with us, as it really is a great one!  Just pick the left or right side as your inspiration sketch, and don't forget to add banners/pennants to your layout too!

I selected the LEFT sketch to work with, and used it to capture a memory of a super FUN evening, spent in NYC with good friends!

I used lots of papers/stuff from my Stash too!

My friends Melodie (from PA,) and Kimberly (from Ohio,) were visiting us before they embarked on a Disney Cruise out of NYC.  My friend Marianne volunteered to drive us into the city, where we had a great BBQ dinner at Virgil's BBQ -near Times Square, and then we walked over a few blocks to see the musical play "Beautiful."  

It really was a BEAUTIFUL night spent with special friends!

Here are some close-ups for you:

I forgot to tuck a tag with journaling behind one of the photos before I glued them down, so I decided to journal right on the layout!  The cityscape diecut is from www.shopthedoo.com I added Nuvo Crystal "Goldcoast" Drops to the windows and accented some of the corners of it with a white gel pen.

Love the Spoon and Fork embellishments that I got on clearance at a great little Scrapbook Store and retreat in PA - Creative Inkling!  Couldn't wait to use them on this layout!

Dinner was delicious! 

I used all of the different papers from the layout to make the banner across the top.  The NYC, Heart, and Times Square are Rub-ons that I have had FOR-EVER! - So glad I got to use them!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at the Scrap Our Stash Blog - you never know what you might find in YOUR Stash!!

Hello everyone!  I can't believe it is September already!  This year has sure flown by!  It's time for another fun challenge over at the Challenge YOUrself Blog - we can't wait to see how you are inspired by this challenge!  We hope you will play along with us!

Don't forget to include YOU in a photo in your layout!

I picked a photo of my hubby and I somewhere in the Caribbean Ocean, off the coast of Cuba.  We were treated to an amazing SUNSET on one of the Formal Nights on our 2018 Westbound Panama Canal Cruise, on the Disney Wonder.

When I was looking through my stash - I thought this pink base paper from the Paperhouse Coloways Flamingo Collection - would be perfect - and built my layout from there.  I used lots of stuff from my stash - and I am very happy with how this came out!

Here are some close ups for your inspiration:
