Something different

Ok, a different way to do a page.....but yes, another Cross Country page....

Materials:

Paper: My Mind's Eye

Tags: My Mind's Eye

Sticker: SRM Press "Cross Country"

I like the idea of putting smaller photos in a photo album style page and doing smaller "pages" within that page. In this case I picked the 4X4 squares for the layout, cut my photos to fit and placed them in the order I thought worked best to relay the story. Then I took a sheet of paper with the trees on it, cut them out to fit in the spaces remaining (again 4X4) and put them in place. I added a few embellishments and was ready to roll in a few minutes flat!

OH, and happy shopping......I am off to the store this BLACK FRIDAY morning.....see you out there....

Cross Country....

...yes again....hey, it's all my kids do anymore....hunt and run! It was a lot more fun when they were little, so I have to scrap what they do....and this is it.

Materials:

Paper: My Mind's Eye: Abbey Road "Nice Ride"

Paper Cut cardstock

Stickers: SRM Stickers "Cross Country" and Karen Foster Designs

Pop-Dots

I liked the wood/road/trail effect on this paper, and the blues and greens, but didn't care for the little cars all over on the trails....so I covered up the ones you could see with little trees cut from the paper. All I did was take a circle punch and cut few "trees" out from areas where the photos would cover the "holes" I left on the paper. Using a pop-dot on each one I covered up those little cars! The stickers from SRM are see-through so the fun background shows through my title.

Big Fish

I am on a scrapbooking roll right now (that, and I need to catch up before my son graduates in two years....hey, that time will pass fast!)

Some fun things to work with for our fun little trip to Hayward this past summer. I outlined the edge of the paper with my marker to add a little black to the layout and tie it all together. The rest is a matter of layering some goodies together with the photos.

I thought this birthday paper from Bo-Bunny had the perfect blend of pattern and color for y photos. With some strategically placed photos and stickers and things, you can't even tell that birthday words are on that paper!

A Card

This one was fun, just some scraps...truly leftover bits that, if you saw the whole sheet, you would NOT think of a Christmas card when looking at it!

Materials:

Fancy Pants: "Daily Grind"

Paper Cut Metallic white (for flake)

Stamp: A*Muse Holiday 2009

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Inks "Broken China"

When cutting away all the other parts i needed for my othe p roject I was left with a little bit of blue and white...the other colors were red and bright yellow, blues and greens! But, this is what happens when you are left with just a little bit of something....you create and adapt. After adding a little embossed stuff to the card front and the stamped images, I completely transformed the paper from its original color scheme...and the receiver is none the wiser!

One more

Two pages in Two days...unheard of! Ok, I am on a roll right now with these...I have a LOT of photos from the meets this year.

More leftovers! I have all these bits and pieces of leftovers and I just have to use them. This patterned paper is from a mini album project I did almost a year ago...yes, I save stuff that long!

Cut N Dry Foam

Since my patterned paper had a curve cut into it already I just went with that theme. I tucked an embossed piece under the patterned piece to add a little to the background and rubbed the embossing with a foam piece dipped in my "Broken China" and "Scattered Straw" inks.

A cheery little card for a cheery Birthday.

Dude birthday

I can't resist playing with my Diamond Plate embosser...and more guy cards are being added to my collection.

Materials:

Paper: Paper Cut cardstock

Oil Slick

CUTTLEBUG "Diamond Plate", "Circles" and Happy Birthday"

Punch: Whale of a Punch "Circle"

Pop-Dots

We have this new paper in from a vendor we ran into at the Wausau show, it reminds me of an Oil Slick, so that is what I am calling it. It has a nice shiny surface along with the swirly oily coloring...very "manly". I used my little circles to create a raised layer of circles on the front of the card. Simple yet effective when popped up on Pop-Dots.
