June Pages

My daughter and I spent a lovely day at Loonies for Lindor Crop on Saturday.
A charity crop for Animal Rescue Dogs and the Farley Foundation and a very worthy cause.

Here are a couple of my pages I finished during our day as well as a few pocket pages.

A Recipe for Success!

Welcome to Jayne's challenge for the Two Scrapbook Friends 'Let's Connect Online Crop' and in this category it's all about 'Facebook' baby! In Jayne's words... I know how much you ladies love Christa's Recipe Contests which she runs periodically in the Forum, so I thought I'd do a similar thing here. Below you'll see I've taken a few of the most common elements associated with Facebook, alongside which is an explanation of the technique/embellishment you are required to include in your creation. I would like you to choose 3 (or more!) 'ingredients' for your recipe and include these on your card, layout or whatever other ingenious creation you would like to dazzle us with! Here are your options: Facebook: Include a photo/digi/stamp that is a close up or headshot. The 'Spotlight' technique would also qualify for the cardmakers amongst us. Wall: Use something to create a wall (stencil/embossing folder/die cut blocks or shapes). Post: Use journalling somewhere (strips, computer/handwritten, or a sentiment). Like: Use a favourite tool/embellishment. Tag: Use a tag. Friends: Include photographs of friends or some reference to the word friends in your title/sentiment. Poke: Include an arrow or pointed finger (like one of those cool vintage hand images with the pointed finger that seems to be popping up everywhere!). Albums: Use 3 or more photographs/images/stamps. Music: Use a song title or lyrics in your title/sentiment/journalling. Or you could even go literal here and use musical notes on your creation. Games: Include some reference to a game such as in your photo's/image, title, journalling, embellishments. So for my version of this challenge  I used 5 ingredients:   Facebook; Headshot/close up Photo Wall: Embossing folder of blocks/bricks for my wall Like: A favourite tool...I used my fav punch by Fiskars wavy bracket and Ranger distress ink (Anitque Photo) that I use on nearly every page. Friends: Use the word friends in the  title. Poke: Studio Calico HAPPINESS speech bubble.    Jayne said we only had to use 3 ingredients but most of my cooking recipes have 5 ingredients or less  so it was easy to add a few more when I started the embellishments. Check out this and other challenges at Two Scrapbok Friends forum.  Have fun.

Brads and Gallery Inspiration

First Day of School Sept 2012

My grandson checked out all the pages I did at the weekend crop and this is his favourite. It's nice to have his approval because at age 4 he is an expert on scrapbooking. He tellls Mommy when to take his picture and when it is enough.

That's all for now, have a good day.

Gold Medal Skaters ...High and Lows Challenge by Joanne

Joanne of TSF was blogging about the high and lows of the Olympic Athletes which relates to chevrons in my  (scrapbook)  world. So here is her challenge:

I made the chevrons with washi tape ...Matching two strips in opposite directions, then added a third at the base of the photos.

 
That's it for the Olympics on my blog...the closing ceremonies are upon us.

Have a great day.

My Weekend pages for NSD 2012

I went to a crop on the weekend for National Scrapbooking Day and took 3 bags less than usual!
oops! left half the stuff I needed at home.! So today I had some time to finish the pages and here they are:

Use A Gift Card challenge by Sharlene...
The only card I had is one from Michaels ...can you find it?

My granddaughter received a kit to paint a birdhouse and assemble it.

Craft Time with Emma 2011

I had the BoBunny paper and the photos and was not settled what to do with the layout until I saw a sample with this paper at Scrapfest using the film strip and since we received one in our goody bag I decided to use it here. Sorry I can't remember where I saw the layout to credit the designer, but if you see it here comment below to tell us!
