Cute as could be - CSI 134 - Scrap it with a Song - Summer Nights

Time to take part in some more challenges....so here goes

The first is from Color Stories Inspiration

Joy on Highway 49 - Show Us Your Stuff

The December challenge over at Show Us Your Stuff is to use the word 'Joy' in a layout.

 Rather than going for a Christmas theme I thought I would use the theme in connection with a photo of my grandson who loves my next door neighbours motorbike.

As the layout was motorbike related I decided to go with a distress, grungy, dirty sort of theme as you will see.

Here as some close up photos:

 I used the metal plate several times across the layout as I love it!

 I rubbed my inky fingers on the layout to add smudges.

 I love using masks

I also used ephemera on the layout

I used the following on the layout:
AC Thickers - Cinnamon - Silver
AC Thickers - Giggles - Blue and White
Ranger Archival Ink - Jet Black
Creative Expressions - That Special Touch Mask - Chicken Wire
Bazzill Bling - Orange 12 x 12 cardstock
Visible Image - Metal Plate stamp
Tando Creative - Grab bag - Stars
Paper Artsy - Squiggly Ink - Swirls & Curls 3
Cosmo Cricket - Cogsmo - Black Chipboard
MAMBI - Sheets - Pad 229
White Gesso
Tyre track ribbon
Ephemera

Felt Like This

We have a new song up on the playlist at Scrap it With a Song. The song is Dreams by The Cranberries.

 

You can listen to the song by clicking on play below

  From the lyrics I used the words 'Felt like This' as my layout little.

Read the journalling below (shown around the edge of the layout) 

'This photo was taken on holiday following losing a fair amount of weight!

I felt super confident in this photo and I loved the top I was wearing.

I know I've 'Felt like This' before and I know I can again.

So here I go.....I will feel like this again - Yes I will !!

I used this sketch from Creative Scrappers

J..acob

I love making things for my grandson Jacob because he is such a little sweetie.  So when I saw this letter J to be altered I couldnt resist it.

I decided to paint the whole thing with a thin layer of gesso to give it a base.  I then sprayed it with Cosmic Shimmer in Peacock Green with a little Glimmer Mist in Iridecant Gold.

I wanted it letter to reflect my grandson and what he likes so I kept it simple by adding stickers from Echo Park - Little Boy element stickers & Life is Good alpha sticker sheets.

My grandson is like a little angel to me so I attached little angel wings to the back to respresent that.

I hope he likes it!!!
