My Mind's Eye July Sketch Challenge

I'm typing this in the dark and trying to be quiet so I don't wake up my husband.  He's most likely exhausted from heroicly saving me from a thousand-legger in the bathroom a little while ago.  So I'm still too creeped out to get in bed, hence the late night post.

This is my first MME challenge, and it was really hard for me!  I am all about layers, and this layout is so beautifully simple.  So I had to resist every urge I had not to over-do it. 

Here's the sketch:


And here's my take:

 I used 6x6 paper from the MME collectable line (notable) and cut out 3 inch flowers with a punch, plus a pennant.  I also cut out strips of arrows on the right side, and for the nifty arrows on the left I had a 12x12 sheet of MME My girl, and cut out individual arrows. 

All the pretty embellishments are chipboard pieces from MME collectable, and a couple brads too.

I had the scissors and "haircut" made months ago and waiting to be used, and this layout called them out! 

Okay, I think I can now attempt to go to sleep, though I may have nightmares tonight!
