Southern Girls Reveal – Word Challenge

     Welcome to another reveal at Southern Girls Challenge. This time we are challenging you to use lots of words on your project.
     For my project I started with an older DCWV paper stack called Linen Closet.  I loved this, but have only ever been able to find the mat stack so I used it mainly for cards and hoard it like there’s no tomorrow.  Anyone else do that with your favorite papers?
     I then pulled out one of the Stamps of Life sets I purchased the Somerset, NJ Scrapbook Expo.  I am absolutely in love with this set, and it’s matching dies.  Having the dies makes the cup, and label, so easy to use.  Click Here to see everything I purchased at the expo.
     I used chocolate ink from Color Box for my stamping…a freebie I got at the expo  To give a little interest I just added three My Minds Eye wooden dots.
     I’m going to make a whole set of matching cards to give to my coffee obsessed sister.  Anyone she sends them too will certainly know it’s from her.  Would love to see what you come up with for the words challenge.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

1st Day Of Pre-School Layout

     Hi everyone!  Our son was so excited to start Pre-K this year, and when I saw how the pictures came out I had to scrap them right away.
     I used the October sketch from DCWV as my starting point.  Both of my background papers come from a DCWV stack.  They don’t make the green paper anymore, and this was my last piece.  It’s my favorite green ever!
    The patterned paper stars are cut with dies.  The solid stars are from the Stamps of Life All 4 Stars set. The wood veneer stars, and the green solid star, are from Studio Calico.
     I used stars and space paper because to us our son is a star and out of this world…corny…I know!
    The awesome title comes from Paper Wizard. It’s four different layers and gives great depth to the layout.  If you haven’t used any of their die cuts yet…you have to check them out!
    I hope you’ve enjoyed my layout and will take a look at the vendor I used and the challenges I entered.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

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!

Challenges

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!
