An altered project

LOVE TO CRAFT

So I have been working on some of my faults for this year...lol. I always order the altered project deals through CTMH but I never end up completing them. So I am trying to change that. So here is the Rock the Block promotion that I just finished putting together.

So the colors I used are Juniper and Creme. Inspired by one of my fav paper packs. Veranda!

I decided to use up some embellishments that I knew I was not going to use any where else as well. So I added the Bliss flowers /butterfly pack, juniper buttons, pearls, stick pin, and Creme ribbon that I had left over from another promotion.

(dont know why it keeps underlining but I cant seem to get rid of it )

This little guy has been sitting in my craft room for a very long time. I found him for a $1 at Micheals once and thought, hey I could do something with him. Well today was that day. I had a spot that was looking bare.. when I looked up to think there he was. And doesn't he look fab on top of my blocks. I think it almost looks like the project was made around him.

Thanks for looking

By the way I also have 7 layouts completed that I will start posting very soon so keep checking back!

MUD BUDS!

This layout has been sitting around since Jenn's last scrapbooking weekend. I just had not finished it. I really liked how it turned out with nothing on it. So I kept humming and haaing over if I should leave it or add the extras. So here it is with the extras. I am not 100% happy with the results but its growing on me.

These pictures were taken last summer at our camper after a weekend of straight rain. I decided to get some cute little pictures of my little guy mud puddle jumping, why? Because I am a scrapbooker and a nut all at the same time. It did not take long for my 13 year old to join in. So 200 pictures later and a lot of weird looks from the other campers this is what I got!!

(ok i dont know why but only the last picture will enlarge if you click on it)

Hard to see here but I used spray mist on the layouts, I used our Ch reinker and a little of out pearl paint. I should of added extra reinker but that's ok.

I then used our Flip Flaps - I really adore them by the way for big layouts like this one. Really there is more then one 2 page layout here.

I used some sunset assortment accessories I had left over. Also the ch felt flowers were lying around from another accessory kit I had. I also added pearls as well.

The banner words are embossed with cocoa embossing powder then brayered with sunset.

I added some cut outs from the Art Philosophy Cart, and a canvas button badge to this one.

Hard to see I know but the second title states A mud puddle jumped on me! Got to love Robert Munch. Sorry noticed afterwards in the final picture the little felt flower fell off, it was part of the sunset cluster at the bottom of my sons picture, of him giggling.

Thanks for looking

Jan 24 Spooky Buds in 2010!

Layout #4 Spooky Buds

I was looking through my box of layouts to be completed and I noticed I had this one all ready to go. So here it is ..lol. This is my little guy, two years ago with his new pumpkin stand. He was so excited because he got to pick it out, while we were shopping for new Halloween decorations. He loves that he can make it with very little help and his older sisters did not get one.

Jan 12 A fall from the past

Layout #3 Pemberton BC

I have had this layout started for awhile but I just could not come up with any thing to finish it. So after some series thought sessions this is what I came up with. (Now the circle brads around the pictures where done before hand.) So I added the fall leaves and title with a mixture of colors to lighten up the layout.

Colors used in this layout are - sunflower, goldrush and holiday red.

Jan 7th 2012 Layout #1 & 2

Layout #1 Summer Sweetness

These are old pictures. My girls are just tiny here....sigh how quickly they become teenagers...lol! When we lived in Abbotsford Bc there was always a festival in the summer, it high lighted all the berry growers. They would have it in the middle of town for 3 days with rides, entertainment, and food. It was always so much fun for the kids.

Paper used was - Cherry-o,

I decided to add some glitter to this layout.

On this part I used the puff paint as well, while it was still wet I added the glitter then heat set it.

Layout # 2 - Edmonton

at the end of last years school year (2011) My daughter got to go for her band trip to Edmonton. She only took a few pictures of her and her friends goofing off, so I had to scrap what I could. Her fav color is purple So I thought this worked well.

Thanks for stopping By!

Heres a mini update on how things went this summer....

Jenn and I went to the conferance in Disney land - SOOO much fun love you girl!!

My Children got to go to the circus for the first time. Nothing funnier then when they pulled my son up into centre stage with the clown, and he stood frozen!! It was so sad yet so funny at the same time.

My kids got to go to their very first Drive In movie. It was a Double feature but we went in very late in the season and it was just to cold. We got to see Transformers 3!! We WILL be going again. They had so much fun.

Paige got her first Job! Way to go honey!
