Let's Scrap NSD13#23 No Photo Challenge

Inspired by Erica's layout and playing along with her challenge, here's my take on white cardstock. And this layout that I make is for the challenge that I'm hosting a challenge over at Let's Scrap. Life kind of got in the way, and instead of recycling my old layout from my past challenge#146....

I made this one. 

This is a note from #1's class teacher. Read it and you'd know why I used the title. This is fairly quick layout A couple of misting here and there, 3 stencils and 4 colors. Stuck on the OA stickers and voila! The deal of this challenge - no photos allowed. You may use notes, love notes, ephemera.. so long as it is photoless! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Hop by Let's Scrap for fun filled NSD May activities!

Random Layout - CSI#71

Here's my take on CSI #71.  I've got all the colors required for the challenge. Evidences for the challenge include bicycle accent, circles, birds, hearts, music notes, ink/paint splatters. The time faces symbolizes frozen time and snapshot of the boys yakking happily at the gardens. Hope the flight of growing up would be smooth and beautiful for them. The testimony that I have chosen is use a song title or lyrics as a jumping off point. The song that I had chosen is one of YT's favorite band, The Beatles and the song title as dorn on the layout title I Want to Hold Your Hand.

Random Layout - CSI#70

This is my take on CSI#70 coupled with water challenge over at Let's Scrap. I started off with a plain white cardstock with permanent Jet Black and overlay with some Distress pink ink and Hero Arts green. Of course there was some misting over on this page with Dylusions and added some watered down effect just below the washi tapes flowers. Evidences that I have on my layout are flowers, distressing, wood, paint. My testimony : The butterfly signifies new life in spring. Spring brings new hope, abundance of hope and fresh ideas to tackle hurdles of life. 


Hope you like my layout as much as I enjoyed creating it.
