The challenge is to create a layout and include the specific items and quantities on the list below:

5 - Patterned Papers
4 - Stickers or Cardstock Stickers

Click HERE for the SOS Challenge guidelines
and make sure to link your layout HERE on the SOS sidebar by November 29th

Now let's see what the countdown has inspired me to create!


I decided to go masculine this month with my layout based on stash challenge #20. 
It seemed to go along with the theme also as most little boys love countdowns. 
The cutie on the picture is Tristan, my friend's son, when he was a baby.

My page design was inspired by Sketch #281 from Creative Scrappers.


Now let the countdown begin! 

 - 5 - 
All papers used are from an older Echo Park collection called 'Note to Self'. I actually used 7 different patterns - blue polkadot (background), stripes, red polkadot, numbers, beige grid paper, ivory lined, journaling card.  



- 4 - 
I added many stickers to my page, 4 of which are the red arrow, the 'Love This' tab, 
the circle tag and all cork embellishments are stickers.



- 3 - 
There is a whole vertical row of numbers on the right edge. 


- 2 - 
Because I didn't have any rub-ons that matched the layout, I decided to use 2 different star stamps.

- 1 - 
I added red strings of red paint on my background and on some embellishments and I finished off with my signature whitewashing style using a sponge and white acrylic paint.
