Another two pager

I got another two page layout done.  This is 6 of my 8 grandkids on their first day of school.  My other two grandsons were on my previous post. :)

Then I decided to get messy again and play in my art journal book.  Okay, okay, I wouldn't exactly call it "ART" but it is messy, ha ha.  Had fun doing this page.  Stole this picture off of facebook when our daughter used it for her profile picture.  Sneaky sneaky.

Been Awhile

Well, since my last post I have gotten four layouts done and here they are:

I tried to do "something new" on each layout.  Not new to scrapbooking or anything like that, just something I haven't done before.  This first one I made those little pink and blue flower thingys.  Saw them on the CTMH cricut cartridge and thought I would have a go at them.

On this layout I didn't use my cricut at all (or any thickers).  No actual "big" title, just a few stickers here and there.

I used the CTMH cricut artbooking cartridge and cut EVERYTHING on this page.

On this last one I can't believe I got 12 pictures on a two page layout.  Pretty good huh?

Fourth of July!!

Okay, okay, I know it is almost Christmas but in my scrappy world I am just getting around to scrapping pictures from the 4th of July!!  Had a hard time making this layout, I just didn't think the photos really went together because some are during the day (light) and some are at night (really dark) but did it anyway!

and a few cards I made from the scraps:

Christmas

I really should be making Christmas Cards....but instead made a Christmas decoration.  Used a bunch of stuff from the Frosted Designs Mixed Media Kit, some stamps I colored in from CTMH, paper, molding paste, crystal glitter and a few other things from my stash and ta dah:

and of course, a close up so you can see all the goupy dimension I tried to add.  Pretty sure this one will take FOREVER to dry, lol.

Dream

Since it has been forever since I have had a monthly kit come to my door I decided to sign up for the kits over at Frosted Designs.  I love the way they put their kits together and their Mixed Media kits are the coolest ever.  With that in mind, I wanted to share this mini canvas I created using one of their kits and some bits and pieces from my stash:

Frosted Designs is also currently running a challenge on their blog http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/2013/11/friday-challenge-11-item-challenge.html
which I will enter this in.  (You should go check it out!)  I used flowers, buttons, a tag and some paper layering.

and a close up of some detail:

New Layout and a place to get messy!!!

Hi all, today I am sharing a layout and the first two pages in an art journal I started.

First, the layout.  This is my Nephew Eric at work.  Pretty simple but I like the way it turned out.  I have to say I am in love with those little bows (see them at the tops of the four tags?).  They were cut on my cricut from the CTMH cartridge.  I just discovered them and I see alot more uses for them in my future.  :)

I have come to the conclusion that sometimes I like to go to my scrap room and just play.  I love to get messy with mists, paints, gesso, stencils, ink and whatever else I can find but I don't like how scrapbook pages turn out with all the stuff on them so I decided to use an art journal.  Somewhere where I can see how things work, what happens when I mix things up, etc. and then put it all away and go back to my very clean scrapping style, ha ha.  So, with all that said, here are two pages from my Art journal I thought I would share.  (Remember, I warned you....they are a MESS)

More gold and a two pager!

I have two more layouts to share with you.  This first one I really wanted to use gold to match the Bieber poster in the picture but decided a whole sheet of gold cardstock was just a little too much gold so I went with white cardstock and gold accents...EVERYWHERE.  :)

And then there is this two page layout I finished.  Again...I struggled with this one but all in all I think it turned out pretty good.  Looking back at it now I wish I would have inked the edges of the cut squares between the pictures.
