Wish you were HERE

 

HI Everyone

Here is another layout from our camping trip a few weeks ago.  I love this layout; it has a lot of dimension to it, but I really love it because Ethan "found" his smile for the pictures!  This is mainly all made with American CraftsCampy Trails Collection.  As you know I LOVE this line.  I still have most of it in stock as well, so come down to the Inked Stamper to pick some up.

I wanted to point out my recycling on my page: do you see the corrugated chip board on my page?? Do you know what this is??  It's a coffee sleeve opened up and turned around! Cute eh? To make my green card stock; I just used the sleeve as a template and traced and cut it out; then I ink distressed it with my Tim Holtz Blending tool (LOVE) and then I use the Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber to make the polka dot pattern.  Again the texture this adds looks fabulous! If you haven't tried this paint yet...YOU MUST!  I LOVE IT!  I distress with it, decorate mini albums; pages, and even STAMP with it! This STUFF ROCKS! It's only $4.25/bottle and it will last ya for ages!  Come down and see my samples with it and ask for a demo on how to use these awesome colorful bottles of goodness!

Birds of a Feather

 

 Hi Everyone

This layout was inspired by one I saw over at American Crafts blog yesterday.  As soon as I saw it, I just had to sit down and make one! Again..sorry about the photo quality; I can not find a good place to take a picture in my shop and it's been rainy here that I can' t go outside either.   The paper is actually a nice olive color..not the lime it looks in the photo.

The little lanterns are from the AC stamp set Terrace.  I stamped with Ranger Archival Black ink, and colored with Copic Markers and cut them out. The rest if the embellishments are pre-made AC ones, they are FANTASTIC and really make the page.  I used MME Twine to make the wire for the bird to sit on, and of course the title is different fonts of Thickers and the little letter squares are from the Crate paper Toy Box 12x12 sticker sheet $3.75. I'm in love with sticker sheets at the moment!  Stickers are no longer the" tacky" embellishments you used 10 years ago when you started scraping! They are now fab and trendy chip stickers! They are thick, and great quality, and the letter ones make it so easy to do long titles.
