{a} arrow challenge

I celebrated getting the 3 boys off to school yesterday with a little crafting.  The ABC Crop is in full swing at My Sketch World!  I always manage to do the card challenges first and then try to catch up with the layouts.  I found these photos from Brian's first day of pre-school and wanted to use the Sweet Spots I got from Tessa's ETSY shop Precocious Paper.  I used the September sketch from Lucy.



Paper: Jenni Bowlin, Scenic Route, Thickers, SRM Sticker Sentiment, Precocious Paper Sweet Spots

I don't do many 12x12 layouts anymore, but am happy with the way this turned out.  I'm hoping to get some crafty time today.  The Studio Challenges is having a school themed challenge this week, check it out here.  The ABC Crop at My Sketch World goes all month with both card and layout challenges! Dont forget to check out The Paper Variety's Blogaversary!  There is a Hop and a challenge this week, including a challenge to use you favorite photos (which these are!).

Happy Wednesday, friends!
