Sweet | Paper Issues Keep It Sketchy - Sketch #3

I'm super excited that Paper Issues decided to go with weekly sketches instead of just one each month. Here's a page I made for the Sketch #3:

Here's the sketch. I used the same basic design, but I substituted a chipboard embellishment for one of the pictures, I didn't angle the photos, and I added some more stuff.

I used Fancy Pants Cherry on Top chipboard pieces as my starting point and then used papers and some other elements from my stash to build my page. Those little birds were in a drawer I have with other bird embellishments. I had printed them out. I think they were probably from when we had "CSI Coordinates" many moons ago. The colors were perfect for this page and add a bit of whimsy. I added soem googly eyes for fun.

I had this already tied red ribbon in my red ribbon jar and decided it would be the perfect touch to this sundae bowl, along with the chipboard heart because I always add a heart to the pages I give away. I found some fun phrase stickers in my stash that were dessert-related. The gingham one was perfect and led me to use the gingham brads.

I found some tiny tags in my stash and tied one onto one of the brads. Those labels are ancient Martha Stewart labels. It's actually one label that I cut in half.

At the very last minute, I added that spoon because that empty space was bugging me. I really liked the addition of this and tied on a charm that's been in my stash for eons. I just love combining old and new stash!
