I found a sketch that one of my friends did on her blog and I knew I wanted to try it...so here goes! The sketch is the
C'est Magnifique November Sketch.
It looks like this:
Here is my finished page...
I used a self made stencil to do the "block" look on the paper with Tim Holtz distress ink. I used some Tattered Angels to spray blue and orange on parts of the paper. I also copied my friend Nancy's cute banner by sewing it together on my sewing machine and attaching it to brads. The fence was cut out with my Cricut and then embossed with a Cuttlebug branches folder. I used a wide ribbon and some fun raffia type ribbon on top of it. I made a tag to add my journaling to with a white gel pen. Assorted flowers from my stash, brads, and pearls round it out. I had the hardest time trying to figure out how to place it all but am happy with the results.
My Mom's birthday was November 15th and I wanted to do this page in her memory.She passed away in 1998 and I am so thankful for the time we shared together... She was such a cute child and I can see such a strong resemblance in several of my siblings and their children.

Really like this sketch and project you made. Quick tip to avoid paper from folding after adding paint or ink sprays etc put something heavier on the edges for a while to make it straigh it can be even a cans with drink etc ;-)
