Scrap-Utopia: A Cat's Life (January SOS Sketch DT Reveal)

It's time for another DT reveal for Scrap Our Stash!

This year, Scrap Our Stash is introducing something new...

a mid-month Guest Sketch Artist Challenge!

Every month, SOS will be featuring one talented sketch artist

and use one of their sketches for the challenge.

The January Sketch Artist is Bev Code and here is her sketch:

So Challenge #22 is to use Bev's sketch as inspiration, and for the stash item, sequins.

Click HERE for all the details and to link up your project by January 29th.

This month's sponsor is 17turtles,

a digital cute file Etsy shop owned by Juliana Michaels,

who has also donated one of her fabulous cut files to each of the DT.

Of the many fabulous designs offered by 17turtles, this is the one that I chose:

Now let's take a look at my layout!

I'm very happy today to share with you this layout of my kitty cat Sugar

doing what cats do best... napping! Yes, I woke her up while taking the photo. Bad Mommy!

I based my layout on Bev's sketch using different big block of pattern paper

on a pattern background. I digged in my paper scraps and found

an old stash of My Mind's Eye "Indie Chic" which went well with the picture.

I also love how the 17turtles' cut file "Good Kitty", designed by Juliana Michaels,

gave me awesome layered paper embellishments to complement the photo and the sketch.

I also added several black and green sequins, as required by the challenge!

I would love to hear what you think about my layout.

And don't forget my January Blog Giveaway right HERE!!!

This year we are excited to announce something new… our
mid-month Guest Sketch Artist Challenge!
Every month we will introduce one talented artist and have the pleasure of using one of their fantastic sketches for our challenge! This month, SOS would love to welcome....
