Lasting Memories

 This layout is for Lasting Memories, which starting next month, will be my new DT.

We have been asked for 2 photos2 hexagons, a 2-word title and 2 embellishments.

I had a scrap of paper that was almost hexagon shape so trimmed it to make the larger hexagon. From the scraps I made the smaller hexagon. I put it on a postcard printed paper that came from a friend. I also added the word happy to make the 2-word title.

My wood veneer butterflies are embellishments that are subtle.

The photos are from a local river walk I did recently.

Freaky fast Friday

 

This is for Freaky Fast formula at the scraproom group.

I used an orange basic grey paper for my background. The strip of blue paper makes a good contrast.The other 2 papers blend nicely in.

After matting my 2 photos in green to match the grass I added small embellishments. Stickers pennants,a squirrel, a swirl and tiny round stickers in neutrals. I found some alphas yesterday that were cut on an accucut machine 25 years ago. I managed to spell bark so put wrapped the bark as my title.

The fungii surprised me when I saw it in the park. Of course I had to photograph it.

AAA cards

 

Here's my card for AAA cards.

 I channeled the colours from the 1970s with this background paper then added 3 strips of washi tape across the lower half. The sentiment says sing dress up twirl and twirl play. 

Soul scrappers sketch

 

Here is the Soul Scrappers sketch for September.

I went back through some old photos of our Europe trip and found these of Erica eating spaghetti.

I'm trying to use more difficult papers and this camera paper certainly fits the bill!

I had 2 canvas shapes which I painted pink then used a journal card tucked into the top for my title. I also used a wood veneer bicycle and a 3D camera embellishment.

The Male Room

 I've been watching those videos on facebook that have ideas for cards. This one is using the thin branding strips that come on scrapbooking paper. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I'm entering it at the Male Room where it is dots or stripes. In my case it is stripes.

Soul Scrappers This or That challenge

 I chose coloured background, 3 photos, rhinestones, stickers, butterflies, circle punch. The yellow photo section is a pocket for the brochure.

I was trying to take selfies and my friend kept pulling faces. We both ended up laughing.

If you're having trouble seeing the butterflies, here is a close-up.

Sketch 'n scrap September.

 

This is the first sketch at Sketch n scrap .

I've used 3 of the papers from my Counterfeit kit. The striped one had lines that were skew and went all over the place so when cutting the strips I purposely cut at an angle.

I had a sticker title that said my lucky star so used it on here plus smaller stars as embellishments.The quote at the bottom is from Art Stacks.
