Sketch Along Tuesday Reveal for April 19th

Its Sketch along Tuesdays at Frosted Designs again today.. Wooo Hoo!!.. We have an original sketch by Debbie Burns.. I loved it !! 
I've been dying to make a masculine layout for the longest time now and when my son Adam handed me his school pics, I knew exactly what I wanted to make.. 
I created some gears a few weeks back and this was the perfect opportunity to use them along with some chains, screw head brads and other metal embellishments I found in my stash.. I love the way this layout turned out..
I also found some Graphic45 papers in my stash and thought those would be perfect for this layout..
 Here is the sketch:

best part of these sketch's is that you really can make it your own.. feel inspired to create your own masterpiece.  :)

and for some close ups:










and for supplies used:

Papers by : Graphic45
Cricut: Gears(SCAL) even though you can create you own with you DS, I tried and it will works great..
Corrugated cardboard
paints: black and red
Tim Holtz crackle paint (white)
Tim Holtz distress inks: Vintage photo
black ink by: Stazon
Tim Holtz stamp: film Strip
Metal Arrows: 7Gypsies
Screwhead Brads: product manufacture un-known
Key: K&Co
Safety Pin: Tim Holtz
Chain: Tim Holtz
Little Car Charm: Horizon
Black Burlap: craft store find
word stickers: Young and unique
Alpha stickers: Basic Grey

I think that does it for the list of supplies.. While making this layout, I realized I need to find me some more metal embellishments.. These were so much fun to work with and it really took me out of my comfort zone..Which was such a nice change..
Well ladies, I certainly hope you like what I've created.. My 16 yr old son was happy when I showed it to him.. I got a positive "a-huh!"..LOL  
Thank you all so much for stopping and do stop by Frosted Designs and join in the on Sketch Along Tuesday Challenge..We'd love to see what you can create using the same sketch..
Hope everyone has a great and Creative rest of the week..
Hugs
