September SSIB Layouts

     Dropping in with a really quick post showing what I completed with the inspiration photos from ScrapStuffz Inspired By.  This month we had two awesome inspiration photos to work with.  

Inspiration one:






     
     The office supplies reminded me of back to school.  This inspired me to scrap our son’s pre-school picture. I used Authentique’s Accomplished collection as I felt the black, white and craft would balance the loud, busy background of the photo.


Inspiration Two:







     
     The ferris wheel photo inspired me to scrap pictures from when we went to the Clearfield County Fair with my Brother, SIL and Nephew. I used a star cut file from the Silhouette store and an Echo Park boy collection, but the name escapes me at the moment. I stitched on my layout for the first time and while I like the effect I had trouble keeping the sew easy tool straight.

    I hope one of the photos inspires you to come and join us.  I’d love to see what you create.  Even if you don’t get to the challenge leave me a comment with how this inspires you and I’ll be sure to come visit.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Challenges:

Child’s Play Challenge – Weebles

    
     Time for another fun reveal from the Child’s Play Challenge team.  We were challenged to use the toy…Webbles.  The slogan of the toy is Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.  While our son had some Weebles I didn’t have any pictures of him playing with them.  I decided instead to go with the fall down part of the rhyme.  I used pictures of when hurricane Sandy struck, and our son had to come to work with me since daycare and home were without power.
     To go with the falling down/tipsy feeling of Weebles I used a mid July sketch from ScrapMuch? I thought the skewed accent paper worked perfectly.  All the papers and elements are from the Bella Blvd Max collection, and I even added some outlining in my stars (my attempt at doodling).  The amazing tab pulls a photo out of the street signs knocked over.
     I hope you enjoyed my reveal, and that you will come over and join us.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Child’s Play Challenge – Cootie Layout

     Time for another fun reveal over at Child’s Play Challenge.  Our challenge this time is the game Cooties.  Our son had received this game at this last birthday, and I knew I had some photos of the first time we played on my phone.  They aren’t the greatest since it was night time and impromptu photos, but they were perfect for this challenge, and a fun memory.
     I used a sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap and flipped it on it’s side to accommodate the portrait orientation of my photos.  I went with space themed items since I figured Cooties can’t be from Earth.  If you’ve never played the game they are these silly bug type creatures with funny eye, strange attentions and a million legs.  My thought on the sequins is they would mimic the stars in space.  Almost all the supplies on this page are from Supplies by Scrapstuffz on Facebook…check her page out for great deals!
   I hope you find my layout fun and inspiring, and I hope you’ll pop over and join us for either July challenge.  Until next time…keep scrapping!

Child’s Play Challenge Reveal

     Hi Everyone, and welcome to my first DT reveal for Child’s Play Challenges. I loved participating here, and am honored to have been chosen to be on the team.  
    My first assignment was Colorforms.  I don’t remember having these as a child so I had to go another direction.  
   The original toy was just shapes in red and blue.  Since we are revealing two days before Fourth of July I went that direction and then used blocks of paper to mimic the squares in the toy after I saw this awesome sketch from Creative Scrappers.  I left the photo and journalling spot blank because my Dad’s birthday is Fourth of July so this page is all ready for a photo of him and our little man, and some journalling of what we did that day.
    All the papers are from Doodlebug Designs.  The stars are modeling paste mixed with pearl medium and then topped with crystal glitter…it gives a really nice depth to the page.   
  I hope to see you enter our challenges – they are so fun.  Until next time…Keep scrappin!
