Scrap Bucket Challenge

I participated in a Scrap Bucket Challenge not too long ago on a scrappin member board. It was copied from Ice Bucket Challenge that was going around on Facebook except people would give you 5 different things you would have to put on your layout. I guess its like a recipe challenge.

I do not make 2 pagers very often but that was one of the things I had to do for the layout so I was able to get more than just 1 layout done. Once again, it is a wedding layout. I feel like I will never get this wedding album done. My cousin probably thinks I forgot all about it.

I had a horrible time trying to take straight pictures of the 2 layouts together. My layouts are not really that crooked.

I had a sketch to use from Pinterest for this layout. My 5 things to use were a 2 pager, 1 word title, stamp, use the color orange & at least 5 buttons. I stamped at the bottom of the page & glued the buttons on top of the image after I tied the string to them.

Supplies

Bazzill cardstock
Prima papers & stamp
SEI wedding kit papers & journal card
TPC Studio flower shaped jewels
KaiserCraft rhinestones
We R Memory Keepers Sew easy fancy floss
Paper Studio alphabet stickers

Keep an eye out for further posts. I will have some fun news to share & some more Child's Play Challenges!

Happy Scrappin!

Cat in the Hat

The challenge over at Child's Play Challenges this time is inspired by the book Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss.

I remember my son had one of those tall hats but I could not find a photo of it. As I was looking through photos, I came across quite a few with my son wearing hats. I chose these photos because he was wearing a red, white & blue baseball outfit with a hat. This matches the colors on the front cover of the Cat in the Hat book.

                                                         
                                                Here is a closeup of the title

I took a small paintbrush & painted modeling paste onto a star stamp. I stamped one on each side of the title. I also used a banner stamp for my sons name, cut each letter out & glued  them to the twine. I used Barn Door & Faded Jeans distress ink on the resist paper that I used for a mat.

Supplies

Pink Paislee Artisan Resist Papers
My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Twine
Darice Star Gems
EK Success Sticko Phrase Cafe sticker
Inkadinkado Clear Banner Stamp
Queen & Co. Washi Tape
Liquitex Modeling Paste

I hope you can stop by Child's Play Challenges & have some fun with the Cat in the Hat.

Happy Scrappin!

Sequins

Here we are in the month of September already. Hopefully the warm weather will stick around for a little while yet. We have one more motorcycle run to go on yet. I just hate to bundle up when riding on the motorcycle.

Sequins are the craft challenge at Child's Play this time. I cant believe with all the bling that I have, I did not have any sequins in my stash. I was able to make a trip to Hobby Lobby & pick some out. With so many colors & shapes, it took me a while to decide what I wanted. I figured I would go with a different shape than just the circle sequins. I dont have a lot of leaves in my stash to go with the wonderful assortment of flowers that I have so thats what I decided to get.

I used the We R Memory Keepers Lucky 8 Punch for the background paper of the photos. The banner & striped flower were from an online swap from some scrapbooking friends. The other 2 flowers are from Prima & I used Cranberry stickles on one of them. Then I added the gem swirl to fill in some space on the bottom. I tucked in the sequin leaves where I thought they looked good.

I hope to see some pretty layouts with the sequins this month. Come join us at Child's Play Challenges & get inspired.

Happy Scrappin!
