No Joke, It's Sketch time!

Hello All! 

Can you believe after this crazy winter its April! I swear its finally here and with another new month there is yet another amazing sketch over at Paper Secrets!

Here it is:

Word:JOKES

Now remember you must include items, colors, brands, etc. beginning with each of the letter of the word - KISS.  You must use a different item for each letter ( for example you CAN NOT use white cardstock to represent "w" and "c" as "w"hite & "c"ardstock). 

Here is my take on Kelly's sketch:

          

              J- Jillibean Soup Paper

    O- Orange Button

K- Kraft Paper

 E- Enamel Dots

                                                                    S-Stitching

     

Here are some details just for fun:)

A bit of stitching...

A Orange Button for a splash more color...

I just love this tag!

And what page is complet without a bit of wood veneers...
