Great, Great Grandmother / Beautiful

These two layouts are more that I have been working on for my niece Lindsay.  Brooke and Austin are two of her children with their great, great, grandmother at her 100th birthday.  The bottom layout is her three children at Easter.  I wish my photography skills were better but the photos are really much better in person.  I used a lot of items on each layout.  I used modeling paste, drywall tape, distressed ink, and lots, and lots of other goodies.

Thanks for Looking!!!

Eddie & Me

I love this piece!  This is a photo of my husband and I a few years ago.  I have seen many videos of using scrapbook supplies and adding it to canvas.  However, this is my first attempt at it and I believe it  looks pretty good.  The latest video I watched was Gabrielle Pollacco.  Her work is so amazing!  I found lots of goodies in my stash with various lace, paints, etc.  There is way too much to say exactly what I used but at least you can get the idea.  There is still room for improvement which I do intend to explore.  I found this idea to be completely amazing!!

Thanks for looking!!

Seaside / Remember This Day / together / Forever

These four layouts are for my neice (Lindsay) album.  She asked me to put together a 12 X 12 album for her son Austin who is 12 (I believe).  I used so many different items and then added lots of goodies.  These layouts took my awhile to complete.

You see - about 4 weeks ago it had rained and I decided to go out on our covered patio and then I noticed the little bird feeder was empty.  I was barefooted and stepped out onto our deck which has been sealed but it was still wet and I forgot that it becomes rather slicky!  Obviously I took a nasty fall and both feet came off of the desk and I fell onto my right arm near my shoulder.  I first thought it was dislocated but obviously I could move it.  I went to the hospital and lucky for me it was not broken but all the tendons, muscles, legimates, are all swollen.  It still hurts to lift my arm but it is coming along.  At least it has not hindered my scrapbooking!!  LOL

Thank you for much for looking!!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

Beautiful / Caring

I finally got a new photo of my daughter Mandy.  The colors have been changed and I love it!  I wish I could tell you what all I used but I have had these papers for quiet sometime.  I did do a lot of work on this layout.  I used a templet on the birdcages and branch plus the triangles.  I added 2 colors of ink for the background plus tore pieces of paper and adhered them to the page.  I found a chipboard piece which I added white paint and then used Perfect Pearls to make the colors green and blue.  I used netting tape, cheesecloth and lots of goodies to this layout.  Most of the items I have had for a long time!!

Here is a list of some of the items:

Floral Paper is by Melissa Frances
Green Paper is by The Paper Studio
Liquitex Moldeling Paste
The Leaky Shed - Chipboard
Tim Holtz - Distress Ink - Vintage Photo; Peeled Paint; Perfect Pearls ( Blue Raspberry & Sour Apple)

Perfect

This is such a lovely photo of my husband and granddaughter Kenzie.  We were in Port Boliver, Texas and after eating dinner that night we stepped out unto their deck and we were watching the beautiful sun setting!  My daughter-in-law took this photo of them just talking with the sun and water in the background.  It really seems to be so cool and calm and gave me a sense of peace and quietness.

I found old Halloween paper for the background and then used another one that I also have had for awhile.  I cut out using Martha Stewart punch.  I sewed around the paper added the cut out paper and then distressed it with Tim Holtz ink.  I also used embossing paste with a floral templet and added that to the scroll at the bottom left.  I then added paint and pearls to the scroll.  I added lots of flowers plus netting and Gesso paint.  I then found some white beads and glued those into place.

Here is a list of items that I used:

SEI - Salem Heights Collection - Hallows Paper
The Paper Studio - Woven Natural Fibers Papers
Studio 490 - Embossing Paste - Metallic Gold
The Leaky Shed - Scroll Corner
The Paper Studio - Flowers, Large Butterfly Punch
Martha Stewart - Arch Lattice Punch, Small Butterfly Punch
Tim Holtz - Distress Ink - Vintage Photo
White Beads
Cheesecloth
