Hello and a very happy Friday to you! Hoping you are having a good end to your week, and wishing you a beautiful weekend ahead, especially if you’re a Mother:)
Today, I am sharing some of this months’ Add on kit: Picket Fence and Washi Tape love with you! I use washi tape for just about anything…wrapping gifts, adding decor to an envelope, to highlight a spot to sign my name on notes to my girls’ in their lunches, the list goes on and on! I have had a long time love for this awesome stuff! Sarah has her shop full of yummy washi tape…have you checked it out? I just ordered some and I cannot wait to play!
In this layout I created about our recent trip to Disneyland…I’ve covered this little wooden shape with the train ticket Washi Tape. Adding the little wood family makes it pop, and you know I love contrasts! Little washi tape embellies can be used on any project!
Another fun idea for your Washi Tape combined with your scrappy kit:
is to use it in place of patterned paper…
I know you will enjoy this kit as much as I do, so swoop yours up before they’re gone:) And please link back to us here when you’ve completed the awesome sketches from our team!
Happy Crafting!

Happy Wednesday!!! Amanda here to share with you my card based of of the fabulous sketch Grace put together!
I am going to start by saying, I am not a card maker, at all, I really struggle with putting together cards, but every month when I see Grace’s card sketch. It comes together so easily for me. They are always simple, clean, and easy, but I love that I have her sketch to start off from, maybe one of these day, when I get a little more comfortable I can make an elaborate card based of the sketches! 
Here is my card.
I kept with the idea of the die cut elements and the sentiment being in the middle, I just moved it all over to the left. For my die cut, I simple traced one of the fabulous hand made tags that came in the kit onto some of the equally fabulous patterned paper, and made my own little tag.
Everything used came in the May add-on kit “Picket Fence” except the twine I used. This kit is fabuluos! Full of so many fun elements and colors, so definitely hurry and scoop yours up before they sell out!! They will no doubt go fast!!
Also,
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and take time to create something you love!!

Today I wanted to share a fun layout using the May add-on kit! This kit is seriously so much fun! This layout fits all the fun tags that say “story” because judging by her face there must be a story.
And her is the “story” (click to make bigger)
I cut the garland and placed on the side as individual circles.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hi PBK fans and happy Monday. It’s sketch time again and today I’m sharing a card sketch……
I have been inspired by shapes lately and this card reflects that. I love scrolls and I made the points of the scrolls in these shapes point to the center so that it’ll lead the eye straight to the fun stuff on this card. Here’s my take on the sketch…..
I was inspired to make a gatefold type card with the sketch. I rounded the corners of my card which was inspired by the shape in the sketch.
I used the awesome May Add on kit for this card and added some washi tape as well. Did you know that Sarah filled the store with some washi tape goodness? Make sure you check it out as they will sell out fast. *wink*
I layered some Crate Paper stickers for the sentiment and wrap of my gatefold card. I also added two small wood woman shapes on there. They are fun and quite addicting, I should say!
I also made another card based on the sketch…..
I’ve collected quite a few brackets and I used two of them here. They mimic the scroll shape of my sketch and I placed my sentiment in the center. The flowers are handcut from paper and I added some bling to it for extra shine.
I spray misted the brackets to give it their color and some shine to it was well. So that’s my take on the sketch. Now it’s your turn.
Here’s the drill…..
**Make a page or project based on the sketch above. Be Creative!
**Challenge participants are not required to utilize the kit, but it is encouraged.
**Challenges is for 2 weeks.
**Winners will be chosen a couple days after the challenge ends and Sketch challenge winners will receive a small prize package or gift certificate to the Paper Bakery store.
Your layout based on the sketch are due on Sunday (May 27th).
Catch you guys later,
Grace

Hello and Happy Friday, to you, Paper Bakery fans! Hope you had a nice week, and if you’re a Mom, I wish you a beautiful Mother’s day weekend ahead!
My layout today: This is my story comes from the awesome Add On kit: Picket Fence! One of the things I cherish most about Sarah’s kits are her adorable tags she adds in! And with this tag…my title was born!
Every now and then, there’s just that ONE photo that I love to enlarge big time…this is just THAT photo! And when I saw the tag…I knew it was the perfect piece to have the layout evolve from. I knew the focal points were going to be my daughter’s photo and the tag:) So, I added the beautiful doily, and cut some banners from the gorgeous papers:)
In this kit, my other FAVORITE thing are these little wood veneer people:) How cute are these?
The journaling came so easily…thanks Sarah for these awesome pieces in your brilliant kit!
Thanks for stopping by!
