CropStop Challenge #56 Sketch/DT

Good morning everyone-

Happy Thursday to you!!!

First of all, I would like to mention that I have been invited to join the wonderful ladies at CropStop Challenge Blog!!! YEAH!!! I was super shocked and delighted at the same time!!!

In speaking with Vicki, who is SUPER sweet and awesome by the way...I made a little mention of CHA and before you knew it, Haylie Jo registered me...I signed up for workshops, booked my hotel and off I went to CHA Anaheim!!!

THANK YOU HAYLIE JO!!!!!  THANK YOU VICKI!!!!!

I had an amazing time...it was a bit tiring, because I overloaded my schedule and had to see everything and meet everyone all three days that I was there!!

So.... I want to tell you about this weeks challenge at Crop Stop.  I was SUPER DUPER EXCITED when I saw this sketch from PageMaps!!

And if you haven't seen or heard about  the NEW Becky Fleck Page Maps™ dies by Spellbinders, you need to check them out HERE.

This weeks sketch coordinates perfectly with these new dies!! How fun right?!?!?

Well here is this weeks sketch...and for a little added bonus, you MUST incorporate a number somewhere on your layout!!

Here is my take on the sketch:

And here is a close up picture of the crackle paint and the glittered cupid! 

I love the way this came out!!! 

The scalloped border was cut with my Spellbinders Scalloped Square die. 

I slightly cut down the center of the paper and did the out of the box technique, so that I could get the scallops straight and evenly spaced!!  Pretty clever eh?!?  Sorry, I met a lot of people from Canada and they all said "eh" at the end of every sentence, it was pretty funny!!!

Well I am hoping to post pictures later this week....Still waiting to get some back from a few of the girls I met out there from Nebraska...Hi girls!!!  They were so much fun to hang out with!! I had a really good time and met many new and incredible people, for which I hope to stay in touch with!!

That is it from me today...

I really hope that you will stop by and give this weeks sketch a go, who knows you might be the lucky winner of $15 dollar Gift Certificate to the CropStop Store!!!
