There is a great week-end sketch at Practical Scrappers, and it made me think of this picture Kati took of herself and Emme. Paper is K and Company and Me and My Big Ideas. Cardstock is DCWV. Added ribbon, rickrack, punched edging, and buttons. The ice cream cones are concentric shapes of 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4 1/2" from Stretch Your Imagination. I added little pompons and beads to embellish and embossed the cones with the Argyle folder. Attached photo corners to the picture and attached the photo and ice cream cones with pop dots. Title is Remarks stickers in brown.
The challenge at Practical Scrappers this week is to use stitching. Hmmm....never done that.......so I called on my mom, the seamstress. She practiced on some cardstock........I created a barebones layout with some great American Crafts Guy's Day paper...and told mom where to sew on it. Added a great picture of my sister, Serita and some paisley embellishments from Stretch Your Imagination. Added some little blingy rhinestones, pop dots, and a sticker title. All in all, I like the look of the stitching and may be calling on my mom again in the near future.
I've had a great scrappin' week-end.....accomplished lots of projects. This one was for the Sketchy Thursday Challenge this week....and the BINGO challenge at Practical Scrappers' online crop. Boy, has that ever been fun!
This is Michael on vacation this summer. Used Creative Imaginations paper. Printed the text in a circle...cut it out with wavy edged scissors. Added three concentric circles to the middle, layered with pop dots, and added 2 1/2" flip flops from Life's a Beach. Embellished them with a daisy punch and rhinestones. Used MS punch for the layers and topped off with ribbon from Target $1 bin and a couple of buttons. Added a sequin Jolee's applique and some 1 1/2" flip flops.
Don't forget the great online crop at Practical Scrappers this week-end. This layout is for one of the challenges: Feast or Football. Reminded me of these great pictures I had of Kati and Michael throwing ball. Simple layout....sometimes it's good to let the paper do the talking. Football is handpieced........lettering is Keystone (a forgotten little cartridge that I love, esp. for sports.)
I've always loved this picture of my mom and aunt riding their bicycles. I had this great teal/aqua/coral paper and loved the way it looked against the black/white picture. Cut the flowers out of the paper and randomly pop dotted them....added rhinestones. Tucked away some paper flowers here and there. The coral background is torn, inked, and crinkled. Finished everything off with some layered ribbon/trim. what to do for the title....but there in my stash was this great metal "precious". I'm really happy with this one.
