KL February Layout Sketch

Shhh...

Here's a secret...

The layout challenges are my favorite!

Here is the Kiwi Lane February layout sketch:


And here is my sample:


Yes, the crazy paper choices were on purpose! In the photos my daughter is wearing a sparkly blue headband and the baby she is mauling is wearing a leopard-print outfit. See?! The paper isn't crazy, it's perfect!

I love how the sketch draws attention to the title:  


Any time you can "ground" your title is a good time!

I decided the journaling lines in the sketch would be journaling strips instead:


Yes again! Stamping journaling takes some time, but I hate my handwriting. HATE it!!! And since I own every alphabet stamp set Close To My Heart has ever made, I figure I better use them once in awhile!

KL February Card Sketch

Kiwi Lane Sketch time!!!

If you hurry and participate you could even get your Valentine's cards out by the actual Valentine's Day! It would be a first for me at least...

Here is the sketch:


And here is my sample:


 Here's the inside:


I think it's funny!

I swiped the card, hearts, and arrow edges with pink and red paint, stamped a border around the card outside, and hand doodled around my center arrow:


Added a bit of foam dimension of course:


And I think I ended up with a bright happy Valentine's Day card!
