Bash those scraps at Sketch and Scrap.

 At Counterfeit Kit challenge I have finished my kit. I only had a few small embellishments left over.

 I made some white tags.


Then I turned them into tags using my embellishments.


From there I made 2 cards. First one is for Sketch and Scrap.


Here's the other one.




White with one.

 At White with one we are asked to use red, blue or yellow. I chose yellow.


I decided to scrap this church I saw in Mexico. The altar was painted gold and very beautiful.

Using a mask I painted through a hexagon pattern.I stamped lightly with a memories stamp. I matted my photos in grey. I found strips of yellow papers from my kit. I used a border punch on one. Then I added a small journal tag plus 2 tabs. My title is in gold as well.

Grunge layout.

 I've had this photo since November waiting for the mood to strike me. Now my counterfeit kit is finished I got busy this morning.

It was a group of ATV vehicles I saw in Aruba. I started by inking the edges of the Kraft background paper.I found some grey paper and matted the photo. I also located a few scraps to suit, including a piece of corrugated card. The packet of cogs is from Memory Maze so I inked those and arranged them on my page. I added a large black brad and a slice of wood from a tree die cut. My ATV title was the last thing to go on here.

Lasting Memories

 The current theme at lasting memories  is to use either die cut or stamped alphas.

On this layout I used black and white die cut letters.


I used Kraft as my background then stamped a pattern across my background. There are 2 doileys behind my photo. I added washi tape strips then my title. I finished up with a couple of chalkboard words I had plus some tickets.

Today's efforts

 The last canal layout-leaving the canal). I used 2 Jillybean soup papers and a stencil tag I won. (Just the basic facts). I doodled a border around words on the layout to make them stand out more.



There is also ricrac and washi tape across the bottom This was the B side the other side was bright orange.

Sketches in Thyme plus two others

 

Here's the sketch I used.


I had a second photo of the life ring so cut it out and popped it behind the photo to become one of the circles. Using embroidery thread I stitched through it to look like rope.

The filmstrip is from darkroom door and the wood veneer is from Kaisercraft. I had already made the tag I tucked behind the photo mat. The kaisercraft fish themed collectables were used up on here also.

Background paper is Basic Grey Bow ties. Here's some close ups.




 I also made this layout today, just to use up the canal photos.


Plus this one of the Atrium on the ship. The mini tags were all used on this now, so that completed those. The card with the quote came in handy on here.


More little tags on here plus washi tape and some hearts from the thickers pack.

Craft Rocket

 At Craft Rocket challenges they're having a layering challenge.

I like those because you can use up bits and pieces.

For this card I have4 layers, The yellow then the green floral, then the green vellum and finally the daisy picture and the white rhinestones. I repurposed the sentiment from an old Christmas card.

This will sell for Mother's Day.
