 I had a fun weekend that was quite relaxing

and enjoyable.

On Saturday, my SFF (Sweet Friend Forever), Heather Lynn

and I, both got to visit 

Erica and her mom, Jackie

for some fun Crafty Time.

I started a layout that I have been eager to get done.

When I first peeked at 

the fun August Sketch Challenge with Authentique,

I couldn't wait to get out

my fabulous Glory Papers and Authentique stamps by Unity

and get started.

Here is the Sketch

and

here is my finished layout

All the papers are from the Authentique Glory Collection 

with the exception of the Navy card stock and Red card stock.  

The background paper is "Allegiance" and the patterned papers are "United".

The Red card stock is by American Crafts (Damask).

Here is a close up to show the fun 

Authentique Happy Day Itty Bitty stamp by Unity Stamp Co.

inked with Tim Holtz - Barn Door.

I will be entering this layout into the 

Unity Opportunity Challenge

"Use an Itty Bitty on your project"

 

 The border at the top of the page

is a sticker from the same Glory Collection kit.

The title stamp school days

was inked using ColorBox-Merlot.

The weekdays on the banner were

inked using Color Box-Dune.

The report card journaling spot

was inked using Color Box-Brown.

All three stamps are from the Simple Stories set by Unity

called smarty pants.

 The rosettes were created by cutting the coordinating card stock

into 3 strips into 1" X 12" strips then scoring

them every 1/4".

The button centers were chosen from my stash.

I did adhere each rosette down onto a 2" inch punched circle.

This fabulous bling above is a wonderful prize I won

from the sweet Barbara Ohanlon in the

fun Scrapbook Deals group on Facebook.

The bling is by Want2Scrap
and is called Funky Swirles - Silver Rhinestones

and Get Your Bling ON!

The rustic stars were purchased at my LSS and I grabbed up on 

a few while shopping.  They really add a nice detail to the already fantastic

Authentique Papers. 

Keep Crafting 

:O)
