Celluloid Moments

This is yet another layout about my grandson (he is such a good subject)

I printed the teeny photos a while back and when I saw them again I was inspired to line them up 'like in a negative' and the layout just developed from there

I used a colour prompt from Colour Stories Inspiration found here.  Or you can view the details below.
I used the items highlighted.

EVIDENCE DETAILS
Choose two (or more)of the following elements to include on your layout:

• text pattern (patterned paper or some other element, e.g., letter stickers, with a text print)
• striped pattern (patterned paper or other element that contains stripes)
• dictionary page (yep--tear a page out of an old dictionary)
• definition stickers (stickers that have words with definitions--these used to be really popular a while back--Making Memories had them)
• bird accent
• hot-air balloon accent
• mesh
• Use something translucent so that the background can show through

JOURNALING DETAILS (TESTIMONY)
Choose one (or more)of the following to inspire your journaling:

• Journal as a definition.
• Document a journey.
• Write a six-word memoir (see http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/ for examples)--This is really fun!
• Use a line or phrase from the song Wind Beneath My Wings and use that as a jumping-off point for your journaling - lyrics here: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bettemidler/windbeneathmywings.html
• Inspiration Words: wing, roam, surround -- Inspiration Words are meant as jumping off points for your journaling--not just titles (though you certainly can use these as your title; just please also have a story of some sort for your page).

I used my own sketch (see below) - which was very crudely drawn in the car on the way back from dropping my grandson back home.  Drawing isn't my strong suit as you can probably tell!

I used these supplies:

Glitz Teeny Alphas - Bubblegum pink
Brenda Pinnick Paper (background)
Making Memories Chipboard Tag - Just Chillin No: 31842
Turquoise Core'dinations cardstock (circle frame)
Black Core'dinations Cardstock (negative frame)
Pink Paislee/House of Three - Daily Junque paper (bird & a little bird told me)
Narrow white ric rac
Grey papermania cardstock
MME La Paperie (Jen Wilson) Dots paper (for flower)
Elsie Paper - Zoe Click Click
Fancy Pants - Kraft Kuts Stickers - Blues Alphas
Old Dictionary Page
Blue ink pad

Hope you enjoy this layout and remember...

Life in Cartoon

This is a layout I have done for the True Xo Xo Scrapbooking design team submission.  I am sorry for the photos, but it seems that however I try to photograph them they come out too dark or two light and I cannot find any middle ground, grr.

For the DT submisson I had to show how I was inspired by or scraplifting any of the DT layouts used in challenge 27 on True Xo Xo Scrapbooking . So to I had to consider colour, design, subject or wording. 

 This is the layout I chose to scraplift which is by 

Tiffany Call   

The aspects of Tiffany's layout that inspired me where the bright, fun and funky colours she used and I tried to incorporate this is my own layout and the hand written title alongside shop bought alphas.   I also love the grid format and the random embellishments across the layout.

Take a look at her fantastic blog by clicking on her name above or her layout below!

I chose to scraplift this layout as it was a simple, interesting but graphic, which is not the style I normally go for.  I also chose to use Kraft cardstock (like Tiffany) as I knew I was going to using bright photographs.

I discovered a programme called Cartoonize which lets you import your photograph and converts it into a 'cartoon like' photograph.  I converted 3 photographs to use on this layout and chose to print them on canvas to give them a 'fabric like' look.    

I used new products from the Papermania Boofle range such as clear stamps and the self adhesive fabric.  I stamped the Boffle image but decided not to colour it in as I think it represents cartoons when they have 1st been drawn.

I used:

Sugarloaf Strokes Black Pen
Sakura Gelly Roll - Fl Green
Sakura Glaze - Black
Design Objectives- Boofle Stamp
Design Objectives - 12 x 12 Self Adhesive Fabric
American Crafts Foam Shapes
Making Memories - Just Chillin' Canvas Alphas
Ranger Liquid Pearls - Ruby Red
Papermania Kraft Cardstock

I really enjoyed putting this layout together.

Thanks for looking and remember .......

A day without scrapping is like a day without sunshine!

Recreating a Moment

I have created this layout to use as an example for a basic scrapbooking class I am going to be teaching for my local craft shop Papercuts Whitley Bay.

I used a colour prompt from site The Colour Room #100. (see below)

I also scraplifted the following layout by Amanda Jones which was printed in Issue 1 of Scrap 365.

While on holiday in the Lake District my husband and myself climbed a few Wainwrights (hills of the lakes) one of which is called Binsey.

We had the Wainwright book - Northern Fells with us when we were doing the walk and my hubby noticed a drawing in it which he decided to recreate at the summit.  This is the photo I have scrapped.  I scanned in the page of the book which showed the pose my hubby has recreated and used this in my layout too.

I used the following components:

Best Creation Inc - Basic Glitter Paper (colours BGP223 - Brown & BGP217 Blue) from Papercuts
Glitz Designs Teeny Alpha - Burnt Orange
American Crafts - Giggles - Brown
Twill Tape - Bootprints
Scan of Northern Fells - Page Binsey 7
Dulux paint strip
Brown Acrylic Paint
Sassafrass Lass - Amplify - Ziggy
Chipboard Accent
Paper Flowers - from Papercuts
Stabilo Bionic Pen - Black

I hop you enjoy my layout and remember ....a day without sunshine is like a day without scrapbooking!!
