Currently 1.22.16 - SBC Trend

   This month's trend at Scrapbook Challenges is around all things tribal inspired. 

   

   For my tribal choices I went straight to the Wild & Free collection from Glitz Designs. I am happy and sad to say I used up that paper pad on this page. I have been on a mission  to use up my older stash before I can get something new. I am happy to say I already killed 9 bags of paper collections.

Supplies: cardstock (Die Cuts With a View), pattern paper (Basic Grey, Carta Bella, Echo Park Glitz Designs, American Crafts and Little Yellow Bicycle), stickers (Studio Calico),  resin flower (Studio Calico), washi tape (The Paper Studio), paperclip (Pink Paislee), transparency (American Crafts), die cuts (American Crafts), manual die (Studio Calico), doily (Doodlebug Designs) , icon (Studio Calico), electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Cricut), manual die machine (Spellbinders) and pen (Project Life)

   I just love this transparency from the True Stories collection from Shimelle. It was perfect for this page. 

   The journaling and photo was taken from my Instagram account when I did the #thursday3.

   I couldn't do a tribal page without feathers.

 Don't forget to link up your creations on the Mr. Linky at Scrapbook Challenges to have a chance at winning this month's prize.

Just Be You - SBC #471

   Last week's Scrapbook Challenges sketch #471  but with dealing with a sick dog over the weekend which led to saying bye to him that Monday I never got it onto the Scrapbook Challenges blog or shared here. 

   Here is my take. The page is of my dad when he was about 20.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzil Basics), pattern paper (Fancy Pants Designs and Glitz Designs), die cuts and tags (Studio Calico and American Crafts), chipboard (Studio Calico), wood veneers (American Crafts), stickers (Prima, American Crafts and Studio Calico), washi tape (Scotch Brand), marker (Faber-Castell), and pen (Project Life)

   Here are a few close-ups. 

   I love the canvas alphabet stickers from Prima. They are super easy to color to match your project.

Rough Crowd - SBC #463

   Where did the weekend go? My to-do list barley got touched. Hope you all had a more productive week. 

Today is sketch #463 reveal for Scrapbook Challenges. 

   As you can see, I kept this page super simple.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Glitz Design and KaiserCraft), stickers (American Crafts), embossing folder (Sizzix), ink (Momenta), electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Cricut)

   I ended up doing one of my favorite techniques on the title letter die cuts. It is called faux letterpressing. That is when you ink up an embossing folder before you place the paper in it and run it through the embossing machine. I came up for the title of this page because that was the first thing that popped in my head about this photo of my mom, grandpa, uncles and cousin
