This is Alex Christmas 2008 (can you tell I’m still trying to get caught up on his scrapbook? ha!). The journaling reads “Christmas 2008. You were very into pirates and science that year along with transformers, legos & Indiana Jones.” Since I’m still playing catch-up, you’ll have to put up with at least one more Christmas layout and a couple of Halloween layouts in the next week or so!

This layout was created using a sketch for a challenge on Sketches in Thyme.

Materials:

Bo Bunny Noel paper pack
gold foil doily
Bo Bunny chipboard dimensional stickers
Fancy Pants stamp
Sakura brush tip marker
Archival ink

Adhesive:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro PermaTac

This is Alex from Christmas 2006. He was so excited that he was finally old enough for a Bionicles figure. I was surprised that he was able to put it together by himself without any help from me! I created this layout based on a sketch for a challenge on Sketchy Thursdays. All the embellishments except the ribbon trim were fussy cut from printed cardstock and I used faux stitching on the outer border.

Materials:

Kraft paper (I do not remember the brand)
American Crafts white cardstock
Teresa Collins Noel cardstock
May Arts black pleated trim
Inkssentials white opaque pen

Adhesives:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac
American Crafts This to That foam dots

Scrap Whispers is having a blog hop today with a banner challenge and tutorial by Nilsa. This is the banner I made for my daughter’s birthday on Friday. I also entered this banner in a challenge on Sketches4all. Sorry the photos are so blurry…poor lighting in my living room/dining room doorway. I really should have taken the photos before hanging the banner! Here’s my entry:

Here’s a close-up:

Materials:

red and white heart shaped doilies
My Mind’s Eye Wild Asparagus Birthday Girl cardstock
American Crafts cardstock (not visible)
Heidi Grace punchboard letters
Prima flowers
Making Memories brads
Folk Art Acrylic paint

Adhesives:

Helmar 450 quick dry
Scotch Quick Dry adhesive

I’ll try to remember to make a tutorial post another day that shows how the individual pieces were mounted to the lace/ribbon so they hang straight and are removable.
