Documenting the Lunar Eclipse - SBC #FBF

Hey Happy Feet - Child's Play Challenges

This reveal all has to do with one of my favorite classic cartoons. 

For this challenge I knew exactly what I was going to scrap about and that is about my feet. I know strange but let me tell you the back story. Ever since I was little my mom has called my feet Fred Flintstone's feet since they are a little wide. 

Supplies: pattern paper (My Mind's Eye, Webster's Pages, Crate Paper, and Studio Calico), transparency (American Crafts), stickers (Basic Grey), sequins (Treehouse Studio and Studio Calico), journaling card (Project Life), die cut (Studio Calico Kit)

Here is the journaling. 

I am just loving the sequin craze.

Camp I Wanna Scrap Blog Hop and SBC Reveal

Welcome to Scrappin' Peeps summer camp hop. This hop is all about water inspired. That means you could see water picks or liquid products in use. I ended up using mist on my page. 
This page is also a sketch reveal for sketch #403 for Scrapbook Challenges

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Company), pattern paper (Cosmo Cricket and My Mind's Eye), mask (Hazel & Ruby), mist (Heidi Swapp), journaling card (Project Life), sticker (Pebbles Inc., American Crafts and October Afternoon), sequins (Studio Calico) and doily.  

As you can tell this page was super simple. I wanted the bounty of the fresh market pics to be center stage. 

 Your next stop is Stella. If you got lost on the way here is the complete list.

Kaisercraft Design Team 2014 Entry

   This post is about my latest creations I made with the Attitude 6 1/2" paper pad  by Kaisercraft. I love this /collection because it is the perfect guy collection. Which everyone knows that guy collections are hard to find. 

   I created three projects for the application, card, bag and a layout. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Kaisercraft), die cuts (Kaisercraft), gems (Kaisercraft and Prima), mask (Studio Calico), twine (Timeless Twine) , stitch template (American Crafts)and modeling paste

 I didn't want to use plain alphas on this card so I took out my needle and twine to stitch "DAD". It adds a little more texture to this card.

 Up next, is a Father's Day bag. I took a plain kraft bag I got at Target to create this great gift bag.

Supplies: pattern paper (Kaisercraft), die cuts (Kaisercraft), gems (Kaisercraft), mask (Studio Calico), stamp (TPC) , ink (Stampabilities and Quick Quotes), washi tape (Fiskars) and modeling paste

 My last project is a layout of my brother's birthday this month.

Supplies: pattern paper (Kaisercraft), die cuts (Kaisercraft), mask (Crafter's Workshop), twine (Timeless Twine and My Mind's Eye), stamp (Deep Red Rubber) ink (Stampabilities and Quick Quotes), wood veneers (Studio Calico),sequins (Studio Calico), glatos (Faber Castell), stapler and modeling paste

Here are some close-ups. 

 I love how the stamp image can still be seen under the modeling paste.

Thanks for stopping by to see my application projects. Thanks.

Sketch 384- Did You Say Smile?

It is Monday and that means another sketch reveal over at Scrapbook Challenges. Sketch #384 is one of my favorites at first but it soon turned to be a hard to complete I also incorporated one of the added Scrapbook Challenges challenge, I used gold on my page.

The reason was the triangles weren't cutting it for me. I ended up changing them out for a chevron mask, chipboard and wood veneers.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Studio Calico), stickers (American Crafts and Simple Stories), wood veneers ( Studio Calico and Freckled Fawn), flair (Studio Calico), tag (Elle's Studio) chipboard (Um Wow Studio), gelato (Faber-Castell), modeling paste (Liquidex), mask (Studio Calico), chalk inks (Stampabilities and Quick Quotes), stamp (Jenni Bowlin Mercantile) sewing machine and black thread 

I smeared a gold gelato on the background paper, added some modeling paste, inks, chipboards and veneers to my trouble area. I love the interest it added to my dead space.  

 This photo was taken 20+ years ago of my Jido. He knew he was getting his photo taken so he acted like a nut and did this face. That was the king of man he was. He didn't care how he looked or acted but had a super big heart that made you love him.

Be sure to play along this month at Scrapbook Challenges for the chance at winning the Freckled Fawn prize and a guest design team spot for the month of April.

Two Late Reveals

If you here for the Scrapbook Generation blog hop click here.
The last two Scrapbook Challenges reveals got overlooked when it came time of posting them here. Today, I am going to share the details of  them.
Sketch #382

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Pink Paislee, Heidi Swapp and My Mind's Eye), tags (Elle's Studio, Bo Bunny and Pink Paislee), Chipboard (Bo Bunny),cording (Crafty Steals), project life card (American Crafts), sequins (Treehouse Company), twine: (Timeless Twine),wood veneer (Studio Calico and Target), doily (DoodleBug Design), washi tape (American Crafts), sewing machine, black thread, electronic die cutter and cartridge (Provo Craft), ink (Stampabilities), stamp (K & Co.) and envelope (?)

I ended up flipping the arrow on the sketch so it pointed at the photo instead of off the page.
This page I did was to document my first experience being apart of a scrappy Secret Santa that some online friends do every year. It was very fun and I love that it is a mystery. I love a good mystery. I did guess who it was. I remember it came on a day I needed a little happy thing because my family and I were worried over Buster. He was fine now but never figured out what was really wrong.
The next page is based on sketch #383

On this page I used almost a whole package of the dimensional stickers from Bo Bunny.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park), washi tape (Scotch Expressions) modeling paste (Liquitex), mack (Studio Calico), ink (Quick Quotes), stickers (Bo Bunny) twine (Timeless Twine) and border punch (EK Success)

I  love adding twirled twine to the top of a banner. It grounds it to the page so it doesn't look like it is floating.

When I did the masking on this page I was too impatient to wait for the paste to dry so I used my heat embossing gun to speed up the process. It held in one spot long enough so the paste puffed up. The gives it a smooth finish. After this I ran my chalk ink across the top.

This page is entitled "Click" only reason is I couldn't think of any better title. Also, because my uncle is holding a camera. It is one of the few photos I have of my Jido and uncle together.
