I created my out ticker sticker letters. I did some outline around the photos along with word (aargh, matey, me treasure & walk the plank) in white pen. I have to journal.

He's the Pirate that doesn't so anything.

Tomorrow, wIll be a busy day. We have to take DD to chorus pratice all day for the show later in the evening. I can't wait to see the show. The girls haved worked so hard for this. It's the All County Chorus show.

Creative Tuesday

We're having a hot one here in FL. I don't know what happen to Spring?!? I think it only here in the evening. Last night we went for a walk after dinner and it was so beautiful out. Yes, I'm trying to lose weight - I can't use the excuse "It's from being pregnant" anymore - DARN! LOL.

I have my creative juices flowing today I hope I can use them to make alot of projects. I have a few more challenges to do from SC. Some that I started and want to finish.

I working on the challenge posted Marilyn at Scrapbook Challenges. It use a masking technique and some paint or ink on a layout. So, DH took some cute picture of our son dressed up in a pirate hat and eye patch. Our son was singing the song the pirates that don't do anything from Veggie Tales too funny!

Anyway, I decided to make a jolly roger for my mask I drew a skull and cross bones then cut it out with my Fiskars fingertip craft knife (which if you don't have one - you NEED to get one!!! It's so much easier to use).

I think it came out pretty good. Now, later today after I pick up the kids from school I am doing the layout.

It's Monday

I am so happy the we have 3 new design team members on Scrapbook Challenges. Lyndsay, Rowena and Cathy - They are very talented. join us for all the fun there.

I wanted to share Monday's SC sketch and my layout for it.

I have to admit that I love the way the flower came out on this layout. I use Fiskars USX and Oval template to create it.

Just sharing

Some work. I am still working on some layouts.

Here is Mondays sketch for Scrapbook Challenges.

Here is my layout for this sketch. I am not sure that I like it. I guess it didn't come out like what I had in my head. The letters are made from scans from the napkins we used to dry the eggs. They created a tyed dye effect on the napkins. After I printed the scans I traced American Crafts stickers onto the print. I crumbled, folded and sprayed the cardstock with paint.

Now here is another layout I made. I really like this one.
