Fruity - Sketchmania #35 & Counterfeit Kit layout #1

This is a layout for Sketchmania #35 over at UmWowStudio using this sketch:I used my Counterfeit Kit to do the layout too - my first layout using the kit. I'm going to come right out and say that this wasn't the direction I thought this particular sketch would take me in - I had envisaged some of that gorgeous large rosette ribbon that several companies have out at the moment. However DeeDee and I were having a conversation about what constitutes a banner the other day and I had seen a layout with a similar line with clips and suddenly, with the whole "Into the Woods" theme that my counterfeit kit is supposed to be following, this layout was born:The detail shots show that I used stamps - I stamped onto the wooden veneer I'd pulled for my kit using red staz-on. Besides the clothes pegs, all of the embellishments are from the kit - oh and the stamps, they weren't there, but they were both from unused sets, so I figured I'd play with them ;-) Oh and eyelets - but hey, who's counting?I had wanted to make the title "An apple a day does not keep the goofy camera face away" - it's a long standing joke between Craig and I that he looks like this in all his pictures, but I settled on "Apple Picking", he later decided the title needed to be "Fruity" - as in, he's fruity, so I added this arrow to keep the man happy.All in all, a great sketch and a great layout - who knew the kit I chose would be this versatile?

Oh I love your layout! Especially the clothes line idea. Where did you get the little clothes pins? I've had this idea to do something like that for quite awhile but am waiting on my maya rd chips to do it.
Love yours!!!

Well, changing direction was clearly the right thing to do. Love the little clipped up items. The background paper is perfect too.

I pulled that paper for the kit and put it away - you made it look good. Cool banner.
