Buttons Everywhere!


I am trying to find some more fun scrapbook challenges so I can find inspiration for Allie's Freshman scrapbook so I went out on the internet and I found a fun challenge called Black With Two. It requires a black base and a limited pallet combined with a sketch, an inspirational word, and a fun inspirational picture. Love the concept. I wasn't going to venture out of kraft bgs for Allie's book but oh well - a few black pages won't hurt anything. This is Allie and her "Big Sister" Mattie. Mattie has been a big help to Allie at UAB and she is precious. After a few months of hearing about Mattie, I figured out that I actually use to work with Mattie's mother - it is such a small world!

Hugz!

    Nancy, I'm just catching up on commenting. This page is beautiful and delightful. Fantastic idea for all those buttons and that inspirational sentiment is perfect. I have also checked out your other pages of Alli's scrapbook and they are all great. Her gorgeous face certainly inspires you to make amazing pages for her book. I, for one, will never get tired of seeing pictures of her and your scrapbook. Happy Scrapping.

    This looks amazing and fabulous all wrapped into one. I am in awe of the buttons. I just love the color and texture they bring to this layout. Allie is going to have one heck of a scrapbook. She will certainly cherish it. Isn't that so awesome that you know Mattie's Mom. It is a small world after all.
    Bear Hugs,

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This
