Scrap Africa: Simplicity

After a number of posts showcasing my own designs, I'm back to doing a sketch challenge.  This is the first sketch challenge at the new Scrap Africa blog.  It looks like a great international papercrafting community, and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people there.

Supplies: patterned paper (Bo Bunny), kraft notebook pages (Earthbound), stickers (Bella Blvd), flowers, (Petaloo), pen (Zig), misc. household items (vintage twine, buttons from old clothing, two dried stalks of wheat, emery board for distressing paper).

I flipped the sketch and created the 12x12" layout that you see in the photo above.  It's called "Simplicity," and the journaling reads: "From straw bales to scarecrows, autumn is full of simple pleasures."  You'll find a few detail photos below.

Thanks stopping by to take a look at my layout.  I encourage you to check out the Scrap Africa site as well...you may be interested in entering this sketch challenge, or their themed challenge, which is also running right now.

ETA:  Eek!  Looking at these photos, I just realized that I spelled "autumn" wrong in my journaling.  How embarrassing!  I've fixed the error on the actual layout, but I'm going to leave these photos as they are on my blog.  I don't want to appear to be fiddling with my entry after the challenge deadline has already passed.  :)
