Two takes on the same sketch!

this whole week I've been fighting the crud, started in my chest and it's in my head...I don't get sick EVER, so this hasn't gotten me all the way down but I decided to take it easy so it wouldn't!!  Yesterday, I had a bought of the creative and completed 3 1/2 pages!  I pinned this wonderful layout from Elle's studio, guess what?!  They have a challenge using that sketch today, so here is the sketch (I really liked the buttons but didn't have enough of the color I wanted, so I improvised):

And my two takes on it, with some closeups:

supplies used:

American Crafts

Bella Blvd.

Twinery

ek success

making memories

some other old stuff that I'm not sure!

And my second layout:

 supplies used:

Hallow's Eve Kit from Scrapbook Circle

buttons, twine, mist, paint is from my stash

Yes, they are Halloween, heck I've got a lot of pictures!  I started each layout by painting on them with acrylic paint, then I applied the paper then misted and splattered....no I didn't use any Elle's studio but I sure enjoy looking at her pretty tags....

Life has been crazy of course, today was my youngest musical...SO cute!  It's fun to see personalities come out when he sings, he just BARELY does the action and sings, but it's not that he is to cool or doesn't know them, that's just HIM! :)  Glad I took pictures and video to remember today.

Well, I'm off to finish Christmas gifts for Grandmas! :)  Thanks for the visit!
