Making The Grade - SBC SS 13

   This is the last week for the month long event Sizzlin Summer at Scrapbook Challenges. Today's #13 sketch is one that I created. 

   Here is my take on it. I ended up scrapping an class photo of my dad.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper studio), pattern paper (American Crafts and Fancy Pants), stickers (Simple Stories, American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Crate Paper,Photo Play and Fancy Pants), washi tape (Studio Calico), string (American Crafts), transparency (Studio Calico), wood veneer (Freckled Fawn)journaling card (American Crafts) and mist (Heidi Swapp)

   I love all the layers I did on this. It allowed me to use some of the odd and ends of stickers. 

   The string I used on the paper tags came from some metal rimmed tags from American Crafts, which I used the tags on a different layout but I didn't need the strings.

Fine & Dandy @ 6 - SBC #494

   I hope everyone enjoyed there weekend. I was busy in my studio/basement creating cards that I posted in the previous posts. 

   Anyways, here is my take on my sketch I created for Scrapbook Challenges. This is sketch #494. 

   Here is my take on it. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts and The Paper Studio) pattern paper (Fancy Pants Designs), die cuts (Teresa Collins, and American Crafts), stickers (Photo Play). wood veneers (American Crafts), doily (Doodlebug Designs) mist (Heidi Swapp) and pen (Project Life)

   Even though this was a boy's page I still used polka dots and a doily. Doilies go perfect for parties. 

   Here is a closer look at the title work. I used premade die cuts for this. I love the layers.

Always Focus... - SBC SS 05

   Sizzling Summer sketch #05 at Scrapbook Challenges is one that I ended up creating back in May when I was keeping myself busy at the family business. 

   Here is my take on it. 

Supplies: cardstock (Die Cuts With a View and The Paper Studio), pattern paper (American Crafts and Fancy Pants Designs), stamp (Heidi Swapp), ink (Tsukineko), wood veneer (Crate Paper), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps), overlay (American Crafts), tags (Studio Calico), cork die cut (SpiegleMom Scraps) embossing folder (Sizzix) embossing machine (Sizzix)

   Here is a closer look. I love how this title area came out. The SpiegleMom Scraps items were the perfect touch to this area. Don't forget if you are getting some items there use coupon code mandi15 for 15% off. 

   I even broke out an old brag paper pad from Fancy Pants to mat the photos.
