Creative Scrappers #114

this is my second post today so be sure and scroll down for more projects:
Did this LO for the Creative Scrappers Sketch Challenge. I've been wanting to scrap this picture forever and this sketch was perfect for it. Plus I've been wanting to use that Scenic Route chicken paper as well :)

I stamped the brown cardstock with a background stamp from PTI. The chicken paper was distressed on the edges with the Blending Tool and I used Tattered Angels Mist in Coffee Shop in the middle. This is totally different from my usual style but I wanted to "man it up" a bit.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Autumn Leaves

Patterned Paper&Chipboard Letters: Scenic Route

Rub Ons: Autumn leaves and Hambly Studios

Tickets and Journaling Stickers: Jenni Bowlin

Mini Letters: Cosmo Cricket (love!!)

Stamp and Cream Ink: Papertry ink

Brown Ink: Memories

Misting Spray: Tattered Angels

Distress Tool: Ranger

Gafer Tape: 7 Gypsies

Ticket Corner Punch: Stampin Up

Star Border Die Cut: Making Memories

Other: Wood Buttons and Yarn

Goofs

I had to do a layout about my kids crazy faces!! These pics were taken at the McDonalds outside of Disneyland on our trip last month! I took out my camera and they put on a show for me. I do this a lot to keep them entertained when we're sitting down waiting. LOL.

Supplies Used:

PP&Puffy Letters: American Crafts

Cardstock: Hobby Lobby and DCWV

Green Chipboard: DCWV

Journaling Spots: Jillibean Soup

Monster Rub Ons: October Afternoon
Ribbon: Paper Source

Border Punch: Martha Stewart

Scalloped Square Punch: Marvy

Journaling Spots: Jenni Bowlin

I used the "eyes" from the rub-ons to put inside of the "o". The title and the "K&A" were put on green chipboard and then the edges were sanded. Used my good old typewriter for the journaling spots. My husband was noticing some of the typing errors such as the crookedness and a part where I forgot to space, but I told him its OK its part of the handmade look :)

Just a simple card. I wanted to use my new MS butterfly border punch and I'm loving this color combo. I have a ton of this gray ribbon as well...its my fav!

Supplies Used:
CS: Bazzill (gray) & Stampin Up (blue)
PP: Cosmo Cricket (love!)
Ribbon and Thickers: American Crafts
Stamp: Hero Arts
Staples: Ranger
Ink: Papertry Ink
Glitter Pen: Sakura (love this!!!)
Corner Punch: Corner Chomper-We R Memory Keepers
And a quick card I made for my husband on Father's Day!

Its Been a While

I've been slacking here on my little blog. We were in California a few weeks back. Baseball is taking up a lot of time...just plain enjoying our summer. Oh, and I'm taking Karen Russell's online photography class as well. Today it poured while the sun was very strong, I always run out to find a rainbow when that happens and captured this. If it wasn't for the houses, I would have captured the whole thing.

I have a couple of layouts to share. Both of these were done from a recent magazine sketch (I love the sketch so much that I used it for both).

This is Kendall with one of her BFs Kylie...they've been friends since they were 3 when they went to the same pre-school. She had to leave her when she was in the first grade and she's missed her so much. We set up a playdate and got tons of pics! I made a vow to myself to take a lot of pics of my kids friends, something that I don't have from my childhood. Most everything here is Cosmo Cricket(Delovely), except the cloud paper, which is My Little Shoebox.And finally, I got to scrap Aydan's 4th bday party. He turns 5 next month, then starts Kindergarten. He's my baby ("no, I'm a big boy Mommy") and I'm excited but sad to see him grow up so fast.
The paper is Bo Bunny (green). The red paper, number paper, and candle border sticker are Scenic Route, and the elements (balloon, banner, buttons, and tag) are Making Memories. Aydan is crazy about numbers so that paper fits him well! The "4" was cut with my Slice and the scalloped circle is a Technique Tuesday chipboard tile that I spritzed with Glimmer Mist :)
Hopefully everyone enjoyed their 4th...I'm glad to be off tomorrow. Hopefully I can get scrapping!
