CKC Workshop Layout ~ Amanda at 3 years..

 

Hi everyone!!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!!  This weekend is Creative Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention in San Marcos, Texas.  This is my 3rd year to go and it most definitely won't be my last!!  I love to take the classes but most of all I love shopping at all of the vendor's booths!!!!! 

 

So anyway, one of the classes I took was a class called "Get Tickled Pink With Mixed Media"...  Let me tell you, WOW, in one hour we were supposed to make 2 gorgeous layouts..  But me being a sloooow scrapper, I didn't even get through with the first one... And even though the "kits/packages" she furnished us had so many wonderful goodies in it, that just using those along would have been plenty,  I still love to add my own touches to my layouts, so I was glad to finish this one here at home...  And also, it's hard for me to finish a layout without knowing what picture I'm going to use.  This one is made for multiple photos, but I chose to use just one... 

 

The photo is of my DD Amanda back in 1985 when she was 3 years old...  Such a cutie!!!

 

Here are a few close ups...

 

 

Here you can see some Distressing, some Masking, Tulle, Paper Flower and Leaves, Fiber, and Webster's Bloomer.....

 

 

 

 

Here you can see more Distressed Edges, more Masking, Large and Small Paper Flowers, Webster's Bloomer, Chipboard Bird, Donna Salazar Chipboard Birdcage distressed with Crackle Paint, Tulle, Ribbon, Twine, Clock was stamped and cut out with metal center added.. and a couple of Stick Pins.

 

 

This layout also qualifies for a few challenges...

Colten on Tractor ~ Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone!!  Can you believe it's Friday, again?!!  And since it is we have another fantastic sketch to share with you over at Stuck On U Sketches...  This one was created by our ever so talented and co-leader Sandi Clarkson....

Let's take a look at it!!!

For this sketch I decided to do another "boy" layout...  With 2 grandson's, I find myself getting further behind on scrapping their photos.   The photos I used were taken by my son last year on Savannah's Birthday.  Her Birthday Party was an all girl party and no boys, not even dad and bother were allowed....  So they spent the afternoon out on their acreage doing what boys do..... which includes riding the tractor!!

Here are a few close ups...

Here you can see Distressed Edges, Misted Chicken Wire Masking, Prima Flowers, Dusty Attic Butterfly, part of a Sizzix Flourish Die Cut, a little piece of burlap, and a tiny bit of a Wooden Artistic Applique Corner Flourish

Here are some Distressed Edges, Dusty Attic Gates, Burlap, Ribbon, Tim Holtz idea-ology Gears, Chicken Wire Template, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Misc Numbers, a little bit of the Sizzix Flourish Die Cut, and Marvy Scallop Circle and Circle Punches.

This layout will qualify for a few other challenges out there...
