Authentic

I used some of the same photos of my in-laws, that I took with their film camera, to make another layout.  I used the November 15th sketch from Stuck Sketches and thought how cool it was to use 2 similar photos on the same LO.   

 

I think my mother-in-law was trying to hide behind her husband and in the photo in the back she is not really looking the camera.  Usually I would just throw that second photo away, but I decided it was perfect to use fro this sketch.  This LO also was a way for me to use up some of my stash and scraps.  I used some orange rub-ons that I have had from a kit and just hadn't used.  The papers were mostly stash.  The wood paper was the last piece of paper that I found to complete the challenge for Scrap Our Stash challenge #9.

 

So I was able to enter 2 challenges.  thanks Stuck Sketches for teaming up with Scrap Our Stash this month

Scrapbook Circle Inspiration

I created 2 LOs today for the Scrapbook Circle Challenges. 

The first is for the November sketch.  It has photos of my hubby and kids and one of  hubby's parents.  It was taken last November when we visited them for the holiday.  It seems that my father-in-law wants to take our photo when we have our coats on and are ready to go out the door to go home.  This time he wanted to also use up the film-------yes film-----------and so gave me the camera to take a photo of him and my mother-in-law.

 

The second photo is from my son's 16th birthday.  It includes my daughter who helped make the cake.  This Lo is fro the November stickers challenge.  I used most of my stickers on the right hand side of my LO all lined up.  Then I added a few more on the left.

 

 

I used my November Scrapbook Circle kit to create both of these LOs.  To see their kits and challenges click here.

 

Not again

My daughter doesn't want her photo taken lately, and so I think I take it more anyway!  Here she is when we went to the Canadian War Museum.  Since she wouldn't pose for me I just took her photo as she was. This LO was created from October 1st sketch at Stuck Sketches.
I enjoyed using some different paper and this cool clock that I cut out of some patterned paper.  I also used my sewing machine alone the edge where the zig zap paper strips are.

Family room in the 70s

 

This 70s room was set up at the Canadian War Museum.  My daughter thought it was just so lame.  My husband and I enjoyed the flashback from our childhood.  I used the ribbon to add some texture to the page.  I used my punch to cut the circles out of some patterned paper that I had.   

 

This sketch is from Stuck Sketches?! from September 15th.  To see this sketch head over to Stuck Sketches to see all the details for this sketch challenge.

Sketch 363 from Scrapbook Challenges

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.  I have a new LO that I created of my son bungee jumping last fall.  It was his first time and he enjoyed it.  I was able to use 3 different photos to show a little of his time jumping up and down.  For this LO I simply used white cardstock for the background and then added some fancy lace paper for a border at the top, some washi tape, some paper flags that came in a kit with buttons and lastly the ribbon across my photos.

To see this sketch go to Scrapbook Challenges for all the details of how to enter their challenge.  Then get outside and enjoy the nice weather that we have this fall.
