Hello My Name is... - SBC #474

   Welcome to another great sketch from Scrapbook Challenges, I might be a little bias this time though since this one I created it. 

   As you can see, even though I made the sketch I flipped the placement of stuff. I am almost done scrapping all of my Jido's reunion pics. 

 
Supplies: cardstock (Bazzil Basics), pattern paper (Cosmo Cricket, Crate Paper and My Mind's Eye), embossed cardstock (Core'dinations), stickers (October Afternoon and American Crafts), stamp (Studio Calico), ink (Stampabilities), embossing powder (Adirondack), tags (Studio Calico and The Robin's Nest), wood veneer (Studio Calico), marker (Faber-Castell), chipboard (Maya Road), washi tape (Scotch Brand), and sanding block.

   I ended up first stamping the "HELLO" in black ink and then realized that a black plane was under it so you couldn't see the letters, so thinking fast before the ink dried I grabbed my embossing powder and heat embossed it. I love how this mistake came out right.  

   I recently, received naked chipboard from a RAK and was like great another item I won't use so I challenged myself to use it. I am happy I got it now since I have been finding a lot of projects to use it up on.

Watch Him Grow -SBC SS 15' #14

   Morning everyone, I am going to make this a quickie, since I am about to head out the door to the Farmers Market.

    Today's sketch reveal is #14 over at Scrapbook Challenges is a super simple one and I kept my version of it simple.

   Here is my take on it.

Here is a close-up of the title work. This page is of my Uncle and two cousins, circa. early 80s.

The Same Building, Really? - Scrapbook Challenges

This is the last sketch reveal for this year for Scrapbook Challenges. The great owner and sketch designer, Brynn Marie has given the design team time off to celebrate the holidays with our families. Be sure to catch Scrapbook Challenges at the start of the year with more inspiration.  This page was inspired by sketch #423

Sketch 423

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio and Core'dinations), pattern paper (October Afternoon), sticker (American Crafts, Basic Grey and October Afternoon), washi tape (Scotch Brand), wood veneers (?), tage (Pink Paislee), brads (Recollections), stamps ( EK Success and Deep Red Rubber) and  ink (Stampabilities).

I used three photos of the same building over the span of a year.  The first photo is of what it looked like when my family bought it. BAD.

This is what it looked like after a few months we had it. BETTER.

This is what it looks like after we had it for a year. BEST.
