Pappajente (sketch from ScrapFriends)

My first layout of the year!
I try to follow my own New Years resolutions - scrap more often, do more challenges, and use more journaling (still have to work on that one....)
I really liked the January-sketch from ScrapFriends, and here is my take on it.

I used mainly a kit from Scraptastic Kit Club, which contained supplies from Glitz Design and American Craft.

The background is created with a Tim Holtz stencil combined with both Distress Stain and Distress Ink.
And I tried out my Gelatos for the first time, making the frames behind the photo. I think I need a bit more practice with those....

A bit of stamping and some torn pieces of washi tape.

 The red letters are from Jenni Bowlin. (Pappajente = Daddys girl)

And this is the sketch I tried to follow:

Hopefully this is just one of many layouts in 2014. My goal is to beat the numbers from last year. I just counted, and I made 39 layouts in 2013 :-)
