things we do - four wheeling

Inspiration found in April 2012 Scrapbook Trends, page 28, a FOUR WHEELIN page by Davinie Fiero.

SUPPLIES:

Paper: SU Whisper White (mats), Echo Park This & That Swirls, Echo Park A Boy's Life Scholarly

Accessories: SC Wood Veneer Geotags & Arrows, K & Co Smash Tape, K & Co Smash Clips, AC Thickers Ali in Aqua, Target Washi Tape in Teal, Karen Foster Mini Charms (helmet, gasoline can), SC Mr. Huey (Inky Black, Shine, Water Cooler, Leaf Green), SU reinker (Chocolate Chip), from various SC kits (die cuts, wooden buttons, heart pin, kraft tag)

a SWELL mis-adventure

I scrapped these photos exactly three years to the day of the event!  March 24, 2010.

 

For March, our theme is GET WELL.  Of course, I had to make a page.  The boy got his foot hung between a four-wheeler tire and the four wheeler body while the four wheeler was moving.  OUCH!  Swelled up like a butterball...and four days later...it was green / yellow / purple / red. 

 

The sketch is from Studio Calico Sunday Sketch (03.24.13).   I pulled items from my stash, from Studio Calico Front Row Add-ons Popcorn & Junior Mints and Block Party Add-on Pioneer Drive.

 

I had fun with this.  The photos, Walgreens had a 8 x 10 FREE collage print promo; so I ordered the collage, thinking I would scrap it as one piece.  Then I picked up the print, saw the sketch and decided to cut it apart!  I'm glad I did.  I really like the page.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a moo'valous day!

....and the star of the show...

FOOD!  What else?  food. 

 

I fixed that "E".  ;-)  No time to retake the photo after I got it all edited.  No way.  Just imagine the "E" is chocolate.  ;-)  Cuz, it is now.  LOL.

 

Lots of things going on here.  Is it cohesive?  hmmm...Bright Ideas #6 - Ad Inspiration...using Front Row scrapbook kit, Popcorn add-on and Junior Mints add-on.  That aqua printed chipboard...is from Snippets!  and if you can find it...the lemon twist divine twine!

 

Definitely lots of product...and piles of enamel dots.  I love enamel dots.  I have an enamel dot is-shoe.  I love them. 

 

Lots & lots of layers...and I love the picture of the Halloween Bash buffet!  That's not glare on the pic of the girl in the blue...that's string that was hanging & I took the picture "through". 

 

This month, the stampin' Flybabies focused on crafty projects with a FOOD theme.  I think this fits the bill.

dead end cemetery

ah...yes.  more halloween bash 2006 pages!

This is bright idea #5 - color pop!  Can ya tell I'm loving Studio Calico's February 2013 class, Bright Ideas? 

 

For this one, I used Classic Calico Vol 3 items, Front Row add-on kit items (Junior Mints & Big Screen) and a Sally Sketch (SBSC311).

 

One of the Boy Scouts came dressed as the grim reaper.  LOL.  So he hid in the cemetery & I took pictures.  I love that skeleton pirate with the grass hair! 

 

Here's the list of supplies:

• Paper: SU! Sahara Sand, SC Classic Calico Vol 3 Geometry, Theresa Collins Now & Then Floral (Big Screen add-on)

The Event: Halloween Party 2006

The decor! 

 

This layout was inspired by an Anthropologie ad...and used Bright Idea #13 - double grid.   This is classwork for Studio Calico's February 2013 class.  Fun homework, eh?

I love the crashing witch!  LOL.  I used Phillip's sweatpants, my turtleneck, Phillip's rain boots, rubber gloves and a wigged witch hat.  I LOVE IT!  I get a big HEE HEE every time I see it.

 

The eyeballs are actually lights...the then BEAR den hung the lights in one of the trees.  They also put up the lighted skeleton emerging from the ground.  LOL.

 

The tin man pumpkin...I made!  :-D  I think it's so darn cute!  Boy...tell ya what...when painted pumpkin rots....whew.  ;-)

 

I almost used a whole roll of the woodgrain black washi tape.  yippee.  ;-)  I used my Dymo labeler and black embossing tape for the subtitles.  The title and the other labels are from an embossed sticker set I think I picked up from Oriental Trading.  I would venture a guess that the other stickers and the green bat paper are from Michael's, but don't quote me on that.  LOL.

 

It's a little over six years later and I'm still having fun with this Halloween Bash!

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Pirates of the RINEY*TOWN

Um...yep...Halloween Bash 2006 and the theme was PIRATES! 

 

I made some decorations that year...two of which became my all time favorite Hallween decorations.  My scarecrow pirate...a.k.a. Capt'n Jack...sadly...passed away this past Halloween.  He now lives in the landfill.  LOL.  What happened was with his weakened legs, he finally keeled over in a very strong wind.  The rum didn't help.  However, the anchors...have had one coat of paint since and grace the walls of my shop porch!  That's the pirate house.  LOL. 

 

Check it out!

This is one of those pages that use things from fifty million kits and shop items...and stash.  LOL.  YES.  This is one of those layouts that result from a CRAFTSPLOSION!  Or maybe result in a craftsplosion.  In either case...that's all cleaned up.  **wink**

 

I really do love Studio Calico's classes.  The anchors were CUT IT OUT class materials and the OMW! outline of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a cut file from the current BRIGHT IDEAS class.  Kinsey Wilson created upteen cut files...all the US states + several countries! 

 

And this page was inspired by BRIGHT IDEA #3 - Map it! 

 

The anchors were cut from POW Black Glitter paper, pierced and then hand stitched down with the AC Natural Jute.

 

Kit items.

• From the BLOCK PARTY Scrapbook Kit: Thickers, Elf in Natural (American Crafts); Arrow / Geotag Thickers (Studio Calico).
• From the Pioneer Drive Add-on: Micro Monogram Letters in Black (Basic Gray).
• From the FRONT ROW Card Kit: Jute, NaturaL (American Crafts).
• From the FRONT ROW Scrapbook Kit: die cut labels (Studio Calico).
• From the Popcorn Add-on: Wood Chip Bubbles (Freckled Fawn).

Other supplies.

• Accessories: Cameo, Zig .05 Millenium in Pure Black & Pure Red, Hearts & Arrows Veneer (Studio Calico), Tiny Attacher, Pop Dots, Glue Dots

I have used lots & lots of favorite products!  I finally used that SU! Nautical Expedition paper I have loved for so long.  LOL.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Welcome to Halloween Bash 2006

It feels soooo good...to be using my stash AND scrapping a stack of photos ALREADY printed!  :D  And of a fun fun time to boot!

 

Check it out.  This is the opening page of the Halloween Bash 2006 section of the Halloween Scrapbook.

 

I had fun with this.  This was the FIRST Halloween Bash we put on.  We had a blast. 

 

I was inspired by a VSN challenge...and I created a scrapbook page.  While it is not a card, it does fall within the VSBN time limit of a 2 hour page.  (The card limit is 45 minutes.  Stitch like mad...you can do it in 2 hours.  **wink**)

I used the SC Sunday Sketch for 02.17.13, pulling in pieces from my SU! stash, SC's Front Row SB kit, Popcorn SB Add-on and some SC shop items.

The spider web is stitched! I stamped on scratch paper and then paper pierced a pattern that I stitched in with DMC floss. This is BRIGHT IDEA #8 - String Art. (Bright Ideas is a class I'm taking @ Studio Calico this month.)  The spiders are stamped, colored and then covered with Cyrstal Effects.

My favorite part was using Prima Chalk ink on the naked chipboard letters! Those letters are retired SU! On Board Letters. The ink is Prima Chalk Edger in Branch Bark!  They look like chocolate letters...good enough to eat! 

I love veneer. Check out the veneer speech bubble and arrow from Freckled Fawn, geo-tags from Studio Calico and brackets from Sodalicious.
