Capturing the Everyday...

When I first started at Scrapbook News and Review I was introduced to scrapping a 6x12 page. I had never seen these before but they have quickly become a favorite size of mine to work with. A bit different, but oh so much fun.

Paper here is Prima. Heidi Swapp butterfly mask and distress ink. The Title Rub on is from Daisy D.

Pumpkin Picking

In the fall the youngest went pumpkin picking with her German school. We rode a tractor through fields until we came upon the perfect patch. Trampling through the fields while I worried about snakes and rodents she searched high and low until finding just right one.

All paper is BoBunny. Prima flowers and bling.

Long Distance Call

The littlest one phoning home all the way from Germany.

While riding the train from Dusseldorf to Koln we did a little catch up with the family back home.

Long distance calling at it's best.

The patterned papers are from We R Memory Keepers and Best Creation. Bazzill is the base card stock and an actual train ticket from the ride is used as an embellishment. The letters are foam thickers from American Crafts.

Aways

Always... my Mom with her youngest grandchild.

All the patterned paper is from Basic Grey. They all all torn into random pieces and then layered. The Letters are American Crafts colored with Pan Pastels.

A Prima flourish and Petaloo flower finish off the page.

You Are Mine!

You are Mine!!! No doubt about that.

The background was made by using a really large background stamp by Impression Obsession with Tsukineko over a piece of Bazzill card stock. To tone it down a bit and add a spot for my journaling I randomly dry brushed Gesso in spots.

Layered some paper and added a Prima flourish, flower and rub on. The title is made using old chipboard I found in a drawer.

6th Grade and Senior Year

The 2011-12 school year started with one ending her high school career and one starting middle school. Both exciting and important milestones.

The Senior Year layout is made using all Cosmo Cricket paper.

The 6th Grade layout uses Webster's Pages patterned paper. The butterflies are fussy cut from a piece. The stars are Oxford Impressions stamps, the are stamped and then cut out.

Both layouts were featured in October issue of Scrapbook News and Review.

Almost Famous

This layout was done for the PaperArtistsOnline Sketch relay challenge. I used all Bobunny paper with a bit of Prima ink and Smooch Mist. The sticker letters are all from Club Scrap.

In December my daughter had a soccer tournament down in Atlanta. While at our hotel we started seeing all sorts of police and secret service members. After asking around it turned out that Herman Cain was there with his wife. I've never seen a group of 11 year old girls get so giggly so fast over a politician. After talking to a police officer he arranged for our team to meet with Cain. He came out, shook hands, and posed for pictures. Leaving the hotel he went on to withdraw from the Presidential Race.

Like I said...Almost Famous.
