Sketch 397 from SBC

At SBC (Scrapbook Challenges) there is a new sketch new sketch every Monday.  I used a photo of my mom for this sketch.  She came to help me with VBS last summer when I needed an extra "actor."  She was Queen Esther and read from her script to help me teach the kids bout the bible passage for that day. 

 I used lots of glimmer mist on my background and layers of paper.  Here is a close up of the bottom corner.  I had inked the edges on my paper layers.  Then sprayed glimmer mist over everything.  You can see where the ripped paper has curled up a little.

SBC Sketch # 396

Stuck Sketch for May 15th

I loved this sketch from Stuck Sketches.  I used 2 photos instead of 3 and turned one of my photos.  I used mostly paper left over from a kit and so it all was already color coordinated. I added a few embellishments, some twine and a couple other scraps of paper and it was done.

These photos are from our beer tour last summer.  To get all the details for this challenge click HERE.  You have 1 more day to enter.

SID

For the May 27th double page LO at Stick it Down I used photos from our trip to Mini Putt in Lake Placid.  Lake Placid is about an hour from our house and we usually travel there every summer.   

I love the doubelpages challenges at SID because I am able to use multiple photos.  That works great to show an event from which I have taken many photos.  Their double page challenge is posted on the fourth Tuesday of each month.  For all the details click HERE.

Sketch #395 from Scrapbook Challenges

Here is my LO for Scrapbook Challenges sketch # 395.  This was out of my comfort zone.  To put the diagonal stripes on the page, some under the photo and some over proved to be a bit of a challenge to me.  I used washi tape.

I used the photo of my daughter from last summer with her new iphone.  Scrapbook Challenges has a new sketch each Monday and has a few other posts on the blog during the week.  You can also visit their facebook page.  Click HERE to visit their blog and get all the details.  

Susan B Anthony as a scraplift

If you go over to XOXO Scrapbooking you will see a double page LO with photos from a photo booth.  it is from this LO that my inspiration came for my multiple photo LO began.  I did not have photo booth photos or even small photos so I used three photos that were very similar from our visit to the Susan B. Anthony museum last summer.  I spayed my background paper with paint.  While I was waiting for it to dry to pulled out house embellishments.  I used some other embellishments that were in the package with the house.  I knew they would be complimentary colors.
Here is what I came up with:

Here comes the sun...NOT

When we went to the PGA Championship golf last summer the second day we were there it rained a lot.  This photo is of my daughter and I as we stayed under the umbrella to watch the golfers putt.

 
My daughter looks up info on her phone as I look on.  We got soaked that day and then drove home in our wet clothes.  I used May challenge form Challenge YOUrself.  The challenge was to use the sketch they provided and scrap about YOU and a female (or females) in your life.
