Hi everyone! Well I just wanted to share with you another Halloween page I did the other night. This was a very fun page to do because the title block was made a few days ago and all I had to do was add it to a page and voila I had a great page. making the 6x6 title block was easy to do . I started with heavy cardstock and sewed a piece of printed paper 1/4 smaller to it. then just started layering the pieces. the cat is made just like a tear bear but its a tear cat. the fence was pop dotted so its 3D. The title and poem were made and stitched separate then glued in place. then i just added a few smaller embellishments like the bat and pumpkins and felt flower and leaves that I inked with ranger distress inks. anyway have fun creating little 6x6 title blocks then see how fast your pages go. they make really cool Eye candy for a page.

Something new to try

I hope that you can see the picture well enough to understand what I'm writing about. This is a new technique that I tryed and had a great time with it. On this page I have used the negative of a punched image on the page. I first punched the snowflakes out of the edge of the white cardstock. then backed the white with the blue car dstock. then using another smaller snowflake punch I made tiny white snowflakes to fit into the middle of each of the blue snowflakes. I also used pop dots to create a 3D effect in the tiny snowflakes. But then I decided to try something else. I had a bottle of craft twinkles glitter paint. I painted the blue cardstock under the cut out snowflakes and painted the tiny white snowflakes with the glitter paint. It added a whole new beautiful texture to this page. I also have used all the punched out snowflakes elsewhere on the page and painted them with the same glitter paint. This page has turned out very shinny and pretty. I hope you will find many new uses for your punches including using the negative.Have a great day scrapping. I'll be back soon with more ideas.

my grandparents wedding

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to post a picture of a page I just finished. these are real photo of my grandparents wedding. they were married in 1929 in a double wedding. kind of neat hu? anyway. to create this page I first made copies of the original photos. (I think you should always do that if there irreplaceable photos) The large picture on page one is 8x10. this was just to cool to have anything smaller. I love all the detail in there wedding dresses and hair pieces and wanted it to show. On all the photo mats and journaling blocks I used ranger inks(vintage photo) to age the paper. It really gives a wonderful old effect. I have used rub ons in 2 places on this layout. I was going to rubber stamp but Kodak's new waterproof paper is a handful when it comes to stamping. I have used flowers by spare parts and some really pretty old looking brads by spare parts also. I think it turned out pretty good. well that's it for today. gotta go.
