My Minds Eye Blog Challenge #26

I came across a sketch challenge on the My Minds Eye blog the other day and decided to make a layout of my son riding his bike for the first time.
Here's the sketch:

 And here is my layout based on it:

As you can see, I stuck very close to the sketch and was able to complete the layout in no time at all! I combined elements from Breaking Free with paper from Abbey Road. Everything here is MME except for the buttons :)

Hope you are having a great weekend!

H{ippity} Hop Noel Banner

I made a Noel banner this weekend, but unfortunately I cannot get a great picture of the whole thing since it was dark and dreary last night when I finished it. But here are the individual pieces.

The letters are Tim Holtz Grungeboard. I painted them with cream acrylic paint, stamped with Ippity's Music of my Heart Background stamp, then a little green paint on top, finished off with some lime green stickles.

The music note and red swirl paper is from My Mind's Eye and some pleated trim from Webster's Pages along with some green ball trim from my stash finish off the top.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Next stop on the hop is McCine or you can see the full list on the Ippity blog.
