Fall layout #1

Fall Layout 1

My friend Jessie took a bunch of pictures of my daughter & her granddaughters in the park on a fall morning. In some of the photos (that have yet to be scrapped) they had their pointe shoes on.  This is the first layout from the pictures taken that day.  I used the Echo Park Lori Whitlock Reflections Fall kit that I got from My Craft Channel.com.  The "falling leaves" label and the leaf cutouts were from a swap on yahoo group Scrap-a-holic anonymous.  The burlap was from some little burlap bags Jessie & I found at Michael's.

My latest Christmas card,  I stamped the trees in Memento Bamboo leaves ink then shadowed the background in antique linen distress ink & Adirondack Earth tones Denim.  I then printed the Santa & reindeer on my printer.  I stamped the Twas the Night Before Christmas with the Memento Bamboo Leaves.  Tied on a bit of twine and inked the edges of the card.

Christmas Card

 

This is a Christmas card I made tonight.  I got the striped paper from the My Mind's Eye 6x6 Signature Christmas by Jen Wilson pad.  I stamped the poinsettia with versa mark on a light pink velum and embossed with white embossing powder.  I then colored the back side with red ink.  I stamped the greeting with versa mark and embossed withe the same white embossing powder.   The salmon colored paper was from my stash.  I did white dash lines and added yellow stickles to the center of the poinsettia.

I love the non traditional colors of the My Minds Eye paper pad.

layout from sketch

I found a sketch by Lisa E Designs (lisae-design.blogspot.com) and made a layout using it.  I have included both the sketch and my layout.

The paper is MME Cut & Paste "Flair" collection.  I can't remember where I got it but I got a kit that had the paper, cut-a-parts, stickers, tiny word stickers, and ribbon.  The ribbon that came in then kit was MME Stella Rose.  The stickers for the title came from my stash and the pink glitter rose I made awhile ago and the white leaves were something I got off of www.listia.com.  Not sure the brand on them, they just said fashion flowers & accessories.  

The layout is of my daughter being checked out by the doctor after she ran into the wall while doing the backstroke in swim team practice.  Luckily it wasn't broken but it was jammed and very badly sprained.  So, unfortunately she was out for the next two swim meets.  The elbow is now fine and she will be back to swim next season.

Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

My Christmas Tree Advent Calendar.

The tree itself and the base are cut from medium weight chipboard I got at Walmart.  The drawers were cut using a file from the Silhouette Online store (one drawer box) that I re-sized so I could fit 25 boxes on the page.  Each box has a piece of chipboard behind the front panel to add stability for the pull which is a jingle bell attached with a wire.  I am really happy with the way this turned out.
