Scrap Our Stash Dec Blend-A-Sketch - "SWEET"

Hello everyone!  It is time for the last Blend-a-Sketch Challenge of 2018 from the Scrap Our Stash Blog!  In addition to creating a layout blending the 2 sketches below together - be sure to include 3 of the same kind of embellishments of your choice!  We hope you will find some time in this busy holiday season to get creative and play along with us!  

Here is my Design Team Inspiration Layout for your inspiration. 

I fell in love with the colors and style of PhotoPlay's "Vintage Girl" Collection.  I've had it in my stash for a few months and couldn't wait to use it.  From the LEFT Sketch - I used 2 square photos, title placement, and paper layering behind the photos.  
From the RIGHT Sketch - I used the scalloped strip across the middle of the layout, along with flowers and leaves for the embellishments.

For my (3) like items - I used: 3 pink flowers, 3 black gems, 3 enamel brads, 3 different fibers.

Here are some close ups for you:

November SOS Blend-a-Sketch Challenge - "HAPPY"

WOW!  It is hard to believe that we are more than halfway through November!  It is almost time for Turkey!  I'd like to wish you and your family a very Happy, Healthy and Tasty Thanksgiving! 

It is also time for Scrap Our Stash's November Blend a Sketch Challenge!  This month we've got a great one for you - along with an added challenge to add Pennants or Banners to your layout too!

I hope you have as much FUN with it as I did!

Here is my layout for your inspiration:

I used photos taken on our October 2017 Disney Magic Cruise, out of NYC.  Minutes after my son's fiancee' Rob proposed to him on Deck 10 by one of the smoke stacks, Capt. Hook came out of a nearby door, and congratulated them!  He pulled them inside and posed for this photo, as it was a little windy outside.  

I just LOVE the smiles on all 3 of their faces!

From the LEFT Sketch I used, the round circle element, along with  layers of long strips of different patterned papers some with decorative edging.

From the RIGHT Sketch I used a 4 x 4 and a 4 x 6 photo and reversed their placement.  There are banners added in the top right corner, along with some on the bottom left corner of the layout too. 

Here are some close ups for you:
