~*~ SOUS and Whimsical Designs ~*~ Inspirational Blog Hop!

HEY!  I hope you're here as one of the stops on the Stuck On U Sketches & Whimsical Designs Blog Hop.  It's like getting two scoops of ice cream for the price of one!!! :)   If you've arrived here from Misty's blog, then you are right on course.  If you're just popping in and would like to hop with us, you can start at the beginning, HERE, at the SOUS blog.  Both the SOUS Design Team and the WD Design Team have all used the same sketch and it should be a lot of fun to see all of the different takes and styles based on just one sketch.

We have two generous sponsors for the Blog Hop.  In order to be eligible to win, you must be a follower of both the Stuck On U Sketches blog (SOUS) and the Whimsical Designs blog.

And here's my layout, based on Sandi's sketch (below)




I used very old scrapbook papers and some clear acrylic accents for the journaling pocket and tag. I added a chipboard swirl and buttons to hide the glue dots. The little sentiment is from the Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 set by Whimsical Designs Stamps. The puffy animal stickers are from my stash. Buttons and twine also from my stash. I did some Cuttlebug embossing on the long strips of paper to add some texture and dimension. The Cutie Pie is my grandson Domenic. I left the journaling tag blank for my daughter to fill in. I was not with them for the photo session and I am clueless as to how old he is in this photo. :/

And here is the sketch that we all used, designed by Sandi from the SOUS team.
Thanks for stopping by and I sure hope you are hopping along at a good pace :)
