School Days {Cosmo Cricket: Girl Friday and UpCycle}

For the month of June, Kayla has challenged us over at scrapbook.com to use Cosmo Cricket products and create a layout with grids. I LOVE grids and already had a sketch in mind to use! Ready for "Grids Gone Wild!"? lol The frame paper is a grid, as well as the grid made out of the pink flower paper.

The sketch I've used is from Nuts About Sketches:


 I popped the title up, distressed and/or inked all of the edges and machine stitched a border. I cut a doilie in half to use in two places...

 And then cut a flower bling embellishment in half to use for each of the flower centers and hand stitched trails for the butterflies.

 I even got to use this felt "now and then" piece that has been in my stash for probably a couple of years!

 The only problem with this month's challenge is that mine can't count in the poll since last month's layout won! I'm super excited about winning for May - here is the winning layout :)

Thanks for stopping by & I hope to see you playing along this month with the CC challenge!
