Get Picky Sketch #1

I was blog hopping the other day and ran across this great new sketch blog called Get Picky and I couldn't wait to try out their first sketch.  Here is what I came up with using the Rusted Sun kit from Fancy Pants which I picked up for a steal at Crop Chocolate.  I used my Cricut Life's A Beach cartridge to cut out the surfboard and the large circle in the background.  That little bit of green cardstock on the surfboard and the flower are all I used that did not come from this kit.  I couldn't believe it when I opened this kit as it came with overlays, beautiful rubons, thick stickers, alphabet stickers, a huge sheet of glitter stickers, lots of beautiful doublesided patterned paper that I really had a hard time deciding which side to use.  I'm going to get tons of projects done just from this one kit!  I made my flower by simply braiding some yarn and then adhering it to a cardstock circle just winding the braid into a circle and adhering it with fabric glue as I went.  I then added a Brad Buddie in the middle.  I wish I could take credit for coming up with that but alas I can't and I cannot remember for the life of me where I saw it done.   I'm sure I probably have it saved somewhere and if I find it I'll post it for you but it was very simple to do.  I love the look especially for a boy's page where you don't want a girlie flower!  Here is a closer view:
