So Comfortable

Hi there,

Today is another layout which was submitted at Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits Blog http://boysrulescrapbookkits.blogspot.com/

for their sketch challenge.

I've been checking out various challenge blogs and this one caught my eye, so I figured I'd

play along.

Here's the sketch I had to work with:

And this is what I created:

This is Dylan and Grampie on the lawn mower.  I looked forward to hubby mowing the

lawn when Dylan visited.  It was so cute to watch him sitting there with his grampie and then he

would fall into this "trance" state and start nodding his head... ready to fall asleep!  It must have

been a calming sound for him to relax that much!  :)

Supplies used:

Paper: DCWV

Metal Washers (from hubby's stash)

Metal Tag Letters

Twine

Grass Cardstock Sticker: Paper House

Sharpie Marker

Once I got the title flowing the way I wanted, I adhered it in place.  The twine was knotted

on each end.  Washers were placed randomly around the title.

I've had these metal tags for so long... and, of course, I didn't have all the letters I needed

for the title.  There was nothing else I wanted to use... so I simply flipped the tag over and

used a black marker to "color" the letter.  I chose letters that were similar in shape to the

two "O" letters that I needed.  I chose the "G" and "Q."  If you look closely you can see some

different shapes on those two letters.  I just tried to make the letters as wide as I could with

the marker.  To make sure all the letters blended together, I used the sharpie marker

over all the letters.  Hey, it worked!  :)

After journaling, I unraveled a piece of twine a bit at a time, just the way I wanted it, adhering as I went.

I liked the "unraveled" look much better.

This "grass" cardstock sticker was actually from a soccer sheet in my stash.  

I separated the two words, knotting them on each end.  I liked the looks of it not attached

all together.

Thanks for stopping by!
