Backyard Fire layout

I purchased the fire paper while in Wisconsin because I knew I wanted to do a layout of us having a back yard fire.  I used some of the PL cards from the September Scraptastic Club kit and a flair I had laying on my desk.  I made the title with my Silhouette Cameo using print & cut.

Geocaching pocket page

My first attempt at a pocket page layout.  I did a traditional on the left and a pocket page on the right.

Parade layout

 This is a layout I did of the 4th of July parade in Waterford, Wisconsin.  I thought they did a really good job on the parade.  I used a parade file folder I made for a swap on Yahoo Group Scrap-a-holic anonymous and a title from the same swap along with some of my homemade enamel dots.  Simple page but I like it.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge layout

My daughter and I were both challen
ged by different people for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  I was provided a sketch by a Facebook event invite for a sketch challenge for ScrappersChallenge on facebook.  The sketch can be found at http://www.pinterest.com/pin/147774431495128948/

 The sketch is by shimelle.com.  I stuck almost identical to the sketch.  I used Colorbok Limited Edition Flashy Finds Chipboard glitter White Alpha letters for the word brrr.  However, the pack only came with ONE r.  What alpha pack comes with only ONE r.  Geez.  Anyway, I used the 2 x that it came with.  ONE r and TWO x.  Then I used Sticko Carnival Blue letters for the ALS ICE BUCKET and then Teresa Collins Basically Essential black alpha stickers for the word CHALLENGE.

The sketch called for 3 photos but I only had two and so I created a bucket of ice water with my Silhouette Cameo.  I also used my Cameo to make the file folder looking vertical paper.

I found a journal spot but it had words that didn't go with the layout but the color and size were perfect so I wanted to use it and find something to cover it with.  I found a flair in my stash that said "Punch today in the Face".  I used whiteout to cover the word today and added ALS so the flair says "Punch ALS in the Face"  I then used My Mind's Eye tiny word stickers "A Spectacular Goal"

Her Last Swim Banquet Layout

My daughter has been on swim team for the past ten years.  This was her last summer.  She could technically swim one more summer but she wanted to free up her last summer before going off to college.  I was able to use the dolphin eyelets I bought a billion years ago (or a long time ago) and some word and phrase tags that I had sitting in a container on my desk.  I added some homemade enamel dots in the colors of the background.  The puffy dolphin was also something that I have had in my stash for a long long time.  I date stamped a chipboard tag with the date of the banquet.

Earn a Buck layout

This is a layout of my daughter's job at Larry's Pizza.  Some friends showed up to eat and took the picture.  I had gotten the title "Earning A Buck", the pizza card that the title is on, the slice of pizza and the time clock from swaps I participated in (I did the time clock) at scrap-a-holics Anonymous on Yahoo groups.  The heart flair I made myself.  The top part of the time card has her name, the restaurant and the month & year she started.  Then if anyone wants to read the story they can pull the card out and read the rest of the journalling.  I liked being able to have part seen & part unseen.

Slider tp card

So, I watched this video and decided to give it a try.  Mine is not as beautiful as hers but it was my first try.  I think it turned out nice.  I will do another when I find some better patterned paper.  I have not attached my inner panel yet because I don't know if I will put a gift card in it or stamp a greeting or what.  So it is plain and just slid in for now.

Here is my version.
