Adore: SOUS Sketch





This is a layout that I did for my Guest Designer spot for SOUS. Thank you sooo much for this opportunity ladies! Make sure to stop by and see what the girls have been doing their site is really taking off and I wish them all the best! I love these ladies and really admire their talents as well!

The sketch is sketch created by Liz Qualman specifically for Stuck On U Sketches!
You can visit her blog and see more of her work at Liz's sketch book. I fell in love with this sketch and knew I had the perfect photos to use.
These are pictures of my niece Ashley. I used DCWV Rustic Stack & the Shimmer Stack, the gold paper is from the Paper Company: India Gold (love the crinkle in this paper)and vellum from my stash.
I got to use my brand new Forever Young for the flowers, Plantin Schoolbook for the circle and hearts.
Home Accents for the flourishes and Home Decor were used for the Adore cut and flourish.
Tin Holtz Distress Ink :Tea Dye I also added Glimmer Mist to my trim.
Gold stickles were used on one of the hearts since Ashley has a heart of gold.....
