Sketch N Scrap Sketch Challenge #161

It's September 15th and that means the mid-month sketch challenge is up on the Sketch N Scrap blog!
I've met an incredible group of people in the past year with the Scrap N Roll scrapbooking retreats.  One of my long-time scrappy friends and I have enjoyed getting away and scrapping, participating in the fun and games, and just relaxing.  We've met some of the nicest ladies, it's always good to meet like-minded crafty ladies who "get it" when it comes to crafting! LOL  I used the Sketch N Scrap #161 sketch to document one of our get-aways:

Here's Heather Hall's awesome sketch that I used for this page, I was immediately drawn to the circle design:

This sketch was a lot of fun to work with because the circles in Heather's design created a perfect opportunity to layer embellishments and cluster....and if you know me, you know I LOVE a good cluster!

I decided to use my Wonky Circle die for the circle elements in the sketch design, I just love the stitched look on the edges. I mixed several different manufacturers on this page, starting with the floral base from Echo Park's I'd Rather Be Crafting line.  The blue background is a random sheet of Close to My Heart paper from my stash & I machine stitched a double border around the edge, in keeping with the "crafty" theme.  The chipboard embellies are from Simple Stories' Crafty Girl line, I just love those chipboard girls, so cute! I added some cardstock stickers from the EP line, the flowers and this adorable tape runner I layered under my title:

Thanks so much for stopping by, and be sure to go to Sketch N Scrap and play along with this sketch challenge and the others running this month!  You can win a terrific prize, but you have to play along for a chance to win, hope to see you there!
