My Friend

This was done for a contest called So You Think You Can Scrap. http://ymbd.blogspot.com/
This was for round 2. We had to create a layout based on the colors of our favorite ice cream! Mine is chocolate chip cookie dough at Baskin Robbins & my daughters is strawberry, & since most of my layouts are about her I combined our colors & this is what I came up with. I weaved the middle strip of Basic Grey papers, added a chipboard swirl, flowers, die cut flowers, a large piece of ric a rac, buttons, a piece of cardboard under the picture, inking & doodling. I also inked the flower in the middle with brown & I inked it onto the background of my cardstock for a neat effect. I made the picture of Parker & little Sam in sepia tone.

Swirls

This was a fast easy one. I inked these large chipboard swirls with my distressing ink, vintage photo. Then just added flowers & buttons. This was a sketched picture from one of those machines at Chuck E. Cheese.

Thoughts of Days Gone by

This is an awesome picture of my great Aunt, probably from the late 40's early 50's? This layout was made from a 'scrap pack' on http://www.scrapbook.com/ there is a challenge you can enter & she sends you a pack (everyone gets the same one) you have to do a layout with the things you receive. It was very challenging but this is what I came up with.

Hannah Montanna & Billy Ray--Halloween

This was 2007 & I still dress to match Parker for Halloween & she wanted to be Hannah last year! I thought it would be awful but it wasn't too bad being Billy Ray! LOL!!! People knew who we were! This was a sketch from http://www.pagemaps.com/ I used ribbons, buttons, cut stars out of paper, inking & glitter alphabet for the Halloween word.

Sassy!

Parker cut off 11 inches of hair & we donated it to Locks of Love & her new cut was so sassy & she just swished her hair around all day. So I wanted a 'sassy' layout. For the tinted picture I went to http://www.picnik.com/ to alter the photo, they have cool fun stuff & it is free! I used a border punch, ribbon & some felt flowers.
