Happy Camper - Stuck?! October 15 (layout 337)

Here is the 2nd sketch this month from Stuck?! sketches:


I decided to do another layout for my grandpa's album but did a camping layout since the different shades of hexagons in the sketch reminded me of the different weather you get while camping!!! Here is my take:

Supplies:

papers: DCWV (lemonello stack)

hexagons are cut with my cuttlebug and the sizzix 1.25mm die

washi tape: dollar store

title: dollar store

Relax: my fishing rod - LCOM #94 (layout 336)

this sketch by vicki von richter was so fun to play with!!!!


to make the sketch work with my photo, i flipped it. i misted the background with lindy's stampgang starburst freaky franken lime then cut and layered DCWV limonello stack. I cut heidi swapp (color resist banner) and then stained them with tim holtz distress stain (broken china and mowed lawn). I then added the alphas (thickers: sylist, charcoal gray). i then added stickers and layout complete. here is my take:

Fishing Buddies - ScrapMuch? October 17 sketch (layout 335)

I cannot believe that i finally found my mojo this afternoon, between the crazy month it's been so far (and it's not even over yet). I get that it is only October but since I make 90% of our Christmas gifts I have to start early and always start with the albums that way if i am short on photos then i can work on getting more of them while I work on other gifts :)

When i saw this sketch I immediately thought of the photo of my grandpa and dad showing off their fish and had an idea of where I wanted to go with it but once i started working on it, the layout took a completely different way. Here is Scrapmuch? sketch:

\

And here is my take:

I am using the same stack for the entire album, DCWV (limoncello stack). The embellies on this layout i have had for awhile. The bear and bugs my mom gave me a couple of years ago as she found them at a yard sale. The tree came from my cousin who's friend gave them to her (cause she knew her cousin scrapbooked) and the title I bought a couple of years ago. So the only thing that is new here is the paper stack (even the picture is 20 years old!!!).

Land of Oz - Let's Get Sketchy Week 2 (layout 333)

here is Let's Get Sketchy October Week 2 sketch:


And here is my take:

This was a very fun but very time consuming layout as each of the background squares were punched individually. I then glued and measured, then misted with Lindy's stamp gang starburst (cranberry mist burgandy). Each of the layers i ribbed and put together. I decided to go with a mosaic feel to the page to immitate the yellow brick road. These photos were taken at the Enchanted Forest in British columbia this past summer.

papers: bo bunny (enchanted garden: fantasy, magic, pixies, romance, spellbound)
other: flowers (prima, dollar store), brad (unknown), bo bunny (enchanted garden: ephemera pack)
