Adventure - Stuck?! Sketches December 15 (layout 370)

Here is another page for my grandpa's album, these pictures are from my aunt taken a couple of summers ago when both my aunts came to town to visit my grandparents. I loved this sketch by Laura Whitaker for stuck?! with all the circles, i thought it was perfect for these pictures since my grandpa and dad were teaching everyone how to play frisbee golf (grandpa's new hobby):


Here is my take, I punched and cut out the paper circles and hand sewed all the stitched circles:

Supplies used:
papers: dcwv (limoncello stack)
flowers: forever in time, prima
inks: lindy's stamp gang starburst (tibetan poppy teal)
flourish: forever in time
wood: heidi swapp (september skies)

Joy of Camping - December Scrappy Friends Challenge (layout 369)

I'm back with another layout for my grandpa's album. These pictures came from my aunt and were taken in the early-mid 90s of our yearly camping trip to Riverside may long weekend. Here is my layout:

I was inspired to create this layout by the scrappy friends challenge. I used Brenda (Grand Diva Creative corner) sketch. I altered the sketch a bit since I wanted to use three photos (instead of two):


I used Rochelle's tic-tac-toe challenge (flair, doily, metal):


and Kelly's word challenge. .. i used the word joy:


Supplies used:
papers: dcwv (limoncello stack)
other: flair (my mind's eye), bo bunny camp-a-lot (noteworthy, trinkets)
inks: tim holtz distress stain (broken china)

Hope you can play along this month with scrappy friends:

Frisbee Golf - December Stack-a-holic challenge (layout 366)

I am back with the first of a few posts tonight as I was able to do quite a bit of scrapping this weekend since my husband was home to watch our son so I got a good bunch (11 pages) done on my grandpa's album (Christmas present). I am using Die Cut With a View (DCWV)'s Limoncello stack to create the album as I find it has a manly feel while having some glitter on some of the pages to make it fun.

So since I am using DCWVs stack to create this album it is only fitting that I create a page for this month's stack-a-holic challenge:

And my take:

Thank you for stopping by, hope you can play along this month with DCWV: http://dcwvinc.blogspot.ca/2014/12/december-stack-holic-challenge.html
