Edited to add: This morning I forgot to also link this project to the Get Picky 1st Birthday Sketch 13 Challenge, so here it is now. I came across this fun group of bloggers this month via Keri, our October Guest Designer at Counterfeit Kit. Thanks, Keri! I used the sketch as inspiration rather than roadmap, but it was a great starting point for my page.
The theme for the CKC hop is to alter some stickers and use them in an unusual way on a project.
I had a pack of layered stickers in my October kit. I didn't take a before picture, but they had little-girl themed sayings on them, and I was never going to have an occasion to use them.
So I took off the top layer of each sticker, coated them with glitter to cover the writing, and then used them to hold some short journaling strips. I cut the journaling strips from a bigger sticker, too.
My sticker stacks, repurposed as journaling blocks. |
I cut the circle and the title multiple times and stacked them to make chipboard pieces. Now that I've learned this trick, I'm going to use it all the time. |
Thanks for looking! The next stop is Susanne. And don't forget to go back to the CKCB blog for all the info on this month's prize from Momenta!
