Beach Day

Beach Day

Supplies: Papers: American Crafts, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Brad : Making Memories (but it is covered with a button), Button: Dress It Up (Jesse James), Alphabet Rub-Ons: Making Memories, Pen: ZIG Memory System (Kuretake), Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4, Other: glitter, craft stick.

I made my own embellishments out of patterned paper and cardstock; I made a pinwheel from patterned paper, and the clouds, the waves, and the starfish are cut out from the patterns on the paper. I used my photo editing software to make two photo blocks of 4 photos each. I also used a standard shape in the software as a template to cut the cardstock sun. To pick up the glitter from the patterned paper, I outlined the cardstock sun with glue and added some glitter. I raised three of the starfish with pop up adhesive.

The Best

As an end of the year gift, my son's class will be giving their teacher a scrapbook. It will contain a page from every child (35 of them) with their photo and writing. Darren typed in the journaling, and I made the rest of the page. I hope she will like it.

Ta-Dah!

I created this page for ScrapStreet's Screenplay Challenge. I did not have much to write about my daughter's birthday cake, so I simply used a quote from the movie Wall.E as my journaling.

I changed the paper colors a bit to match my photos better. Since I love how it turned out, I think I will also make this page with traditional supplies.



Ta-Dah!

Digital Supplies: Paper: Sparky Connection by Caged Bird Designs, Fonts: Gunship Condensed, Segoe Script, Tahoma, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Quote:
EVE: [EVE repeats "Directive" in multiple languages, ending with... ] Directive?
[WALL-E demonstrates his trash-compacting function]
WALL.E: Ta-dah!
EVE: Ohhh...
WALL.E: Dirrrrr-ect-tivvve?
EVE: Directive?
[WALL-E nods]
EVE: [Eve turns away, sharply] Classified.
WALL.E: Oh.

Letter to Santa

Supplies: Paper: Pink Paislee, Cardstock: Canson, Rub-Ons: American Crafts, Brads: Pink Paislee, Doodlebug Design, Junkitz, Ribbon: SEI, String: Making Memories, Marker: Color Workshop (P&M Products), Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4, Other: felt, thread. Tools: Decorative Scissors: Provo Craft, Other: sewing machine.

Design Notes: Instead of paper I used felt to make my own embellishments. I scanned my daughter's letter, resized and rearranged the printing and printed this out on cardstock. I made an envelope to hold the original Letter To Santa and some extra journaling. The envelope is also a photo mat. I turned the photos into B/W and used two different photo filters to change the tone and match the paper colors.
