Back 2 School

Paper Girls's Challenge # 41

 

Sew On It
 

Todays's challenge is all about the sewing!!!

I'm always game for a stitch or two so I put my machine to good use and did several vertical stitches on this layout.

~ back 2 school ~ 

 

As you can clearly see, this Layout is about my favorite day of the year...the first day of school! This year when I took the back to school photos I caught a light refraction off the lens and it turned into a double rainbow across the photo!!!

PROOF

that school is indeed a good thing.

Paper:Teresa Collins, WeRMrk, MME

Chipboard, Stickers, Diecuts:Teresa Collins

Fall Decor Blog Hop

 

 

October has an extra Monday so the Paper Girls have lined up a hop.

This time our theme is

 

Fall Decor

 

Since fall is when I bring my plants back inside I decided to snazzy them up a little

 just in time for the hop.

I got out my mega roll of burlap ribbon, an owl and a leaf stamp, and some ColorBox pigment

inks and stamped a repeating pattern on the ribbon.

A quick fix to be sure, but now my plants have their own sweaters to wear this fall.

 

What do you have to do to participate? 

How about a little extra help with that “Fall Decor”? The Paper Girls Challenge Blog has a Scrapbook Pal gift card up for grabs, which means you're asking what do you have to do to participate?

Delightful Frolic

10 Things Tuesday at Practical Scrappers:

Doilies

For today's project I decided to make an inverted doilie. I cut a circle thae used my Kreaxions punch all around the inside edge of the circle. It makes a lovely frame for this sweet game of Ring-Around-the-Rosie.

~ Delightful Frolic ~

This page is also my entry for Paper Secrets:

 Back-to-School sketch challenge.

I used corkboard stars and banners, a wooden ruler, and chalkboard paper to make the inverted doily and to back it.

Here's a shot of the journaling strip, the colors are such a soft pastel the camera was having trouble grabbing them.

Paper:Kaiser Craft, WeRMrk

Sticker:American Crafts

Ruler:Studio Calico

Cork:Denise Parcells

Silent Question:Sketchabilities #99

Practical Scrappers: 10 Things Tuesday

Stickers

Flat stickers leave a little to be desired when texture is taken into consideration, but that doesn't mean you can't get artsy with them. For my sticke project I used the negative of two sticker flourishes as a stencil for modeling paste.

~Silent Question~

It was a bit tricky getting the modeling only in the negative space, but a little spillage added to the drama of the layout.

The chalkboard paper looks absolutely fabulous with the white paste and the dramatic red.

Supplies:

Paper:MME, Bazill, Riddersholm Design

Gems:Prima, Recollections, MME

Chipboard:Prima, 7 Gypsies

Transparencies:Little Yellow Bicycle

Die Cuts:7 Gypsies

Ink, Mist, Enamel Accents:Ranger

Alpha:American Crafts

Punch:McGill, Kreaxions
