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:
