Sketchabilities # 102

 

 

It is time for another Sketchabilites reveal!! 

 

 

There are so many different ways this sketch could go!  I chose to make this a one photo layout but you could use more :) 

 

I had lots of fun with the layering on this layout!  I really grunged it up! 

 

Thanks for looking!!  Happy Scrappin!

 

 



So Cool!

 

I made this layout using the fabulous Elle's Studio products!!  When I find a line of paper that perfect for my kid I get so excited!  It is almost like this was made just for me to scrap my boy ;)

 

 

I just adore all the sayings and color of this line!! 

The photo was taken right before he took the stage to dance...he really is a cool kid :)

 

I had so much fun distressing and layering on this layout!!

 

 

Thanks for looking!  Happy Scrappin!

 

 



GJS Project

Today I am sharing a mini album I just finished using an awesome album from Genuinly Jane Studios!!  I chose the ticket album for this project :) 

 

I made the album about a local carnival that we have every year called Oktoberfest!

I used My Minds Eye paper.



 

I also used Basicgrey chipboard, Doodlebug bags, Little Yellow Bicycle stickers and a few other misc products.

On the background I cut a mask using my Silhoutte and traced it with black pen.

The pocket here is an old popcorn container (not used of course)!

 

I hope you enjoyed this album!  For more great wood albums in a large variety of shapes and sizes, check out the Genuinely Jane Store!

 

Sketchabilities Sketch #101 Reveal!!

 

Sketch #101 has been revealed at Sketchabilities!!!  I absolutely love the design of this sketch! 

 

It has some many possibilities!!!  I love all the details!

 

Here is what I created!

 

 

I used the oh so cute Rough and Tumble paper by Carta Bella!!  I had these photos of my kid with a baseball that I really liked, but not sure what to do with since he doesn't play baseball...but the photo went so well with the paper I had to use them together!

Here are some close ups.

Across the top I stamped an image on a piece of pattern paper from the collection, cut it out and added some brads.

My RockStar!!

 

Today I am sharing a project that I made for Genuinely Jane Studios!!  I created this project with a film container that a friend gave me and the  camera mini album! 

 

I used a picture that I took before my kids dance production last year!  He was so excited to wear the suit jacket and suspenders (not so much the bow tie)!   

Inside the container I have a piece of distressed cardboard, pattern paper, chipboard swirls, an altered frame, canvas stars, a little guitar, stickers and washi tape.  I used black gesso and a prima brick mask for the background.

 

To make the camera I covered it with black glitter, than I misted it and sprinkled alcohol inks!  I covered a piece of white cardstock with washi tape for the hole in the camera.  Added the title with glitter alphas and a few stickers!

 

Thanks for looking!
