Layout Designed Using Paper from Team Sponsor Karen Foster
Paper: Karen Foster: Enchanted Evening and Purple Reef
Cardstock – Petunia Bazzill
Fiber: Eyelash Fiber (Clematis), Slubbed Fiber (Festival of Colour), Pink & Black twist fiber,
Rivets: andonized pink rivets, andonized purple rivets, purple rivets, pink rivet.
I tore a strip out of one of the enchanted evening, chalked one edge with purple and pink glimmer chalk and placed a section of the purple reef behind it.
I used my quickutz Katie alpha for Princess Grace from the petunia and glued light pink glitter to the letters. I used Quickutz mini eliza for "What does a"PRINCESS wear? out of the bazzill, coloured all words but Princess with dark blue marker and put glitter behind princess. I used 3 sets of stars out of petunia and glued pink glitter on them as with 2 magic wands, 2 tiaras, 2 sets of shoes, the nameplate and number 2. I also punched 8 photo corners (4 were chalked blue on the white side),

This layout was a fun layout to do. The two papers were just funky enough for these two silly boys!! I used the complete American Crafts Silly paper for the background. I cut a 2" strip of the ovals. The other side of ovals is red (I love double sided cardstock)!! I cut another 2" strip and cut that in half, rounding the corners. Place the oval side up of the 12x2" piece onto the bottom 1/3 of the page. Adhere one red strip to the left hand bottom side of the page (overlaping the ovals) and the second red strip directly under the word "Silly".
Mat the focal photo on the red american crafts paper, place the matted picture to the left of the "silly". Mat a second, smaller photo on an orange square of the Ally my memories paper. Use a red paper clip to adhere to the page. To embellish the photo made, thred misc fibers throug the I Kan Dee (discover) embellishement and place it on the right bottom of the page. Adhere 1/3 of the way down the top red strip of paper.
Use making memories heidi rubons to spell the word "boys" under "silly".
Flatten four bottle caps, using a sizzix diecut machine. Adhere stickers to describe the layout to the bottle caps.
Cut a small blue piece of bazzill cardstock. Ink the edges, then do journalling. Mat 1/2 way through the bottom red strip.
Voila! A fun and quick Layout!!

photos of my granddaughter at 7 weeks old.
For my inspiration I used sketch "j" by Erica.
http://scrapbookingoasis.blogspot.com/2007/05/sketches-from-scrapbookingoasiscom.html
Materials used:
paper: Basic Grey Fusion - Mezmerize, Read Between The Lines, Ruby Shoes, & Exposure.
cardstock: Bazzill - Pearberry & Starlight
stickers: Making Memories - Alpha Fetti Light
ink: Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Black Soot
I started by cutting the first three pattern papers in thirds. Read Between The Lines paper went
on the bottom of the left page and the left side of the right page. I used the Mezmerize for the
middle of the right page and for a 5 1/2" circle on the left page. Ruby Shoes was used for the
rest of the left page and the right side of the right page. From the Exposure paper I cut two 4"
circles and title strips for both pages.
The large photo on the left is double-matted with both cardstock colors and is 6 1/2 x 6 1/2".
The other four photos are approx. 4", and matted in both cardstock colors, plus the Ruby Shoes,
and one is done with no mat.
I inked all the pieces of the layout.
For the left title I mounted each sticker letter with the Starlight cardstock and placed them
vertically on the title strip. For the right page I arranged the word Camera around the top of the
circle and the preceeding two words across the paper strip. I mounted the first letters of the two
words with the Starlight cardstock.
I wrote the name and date on the bottom of the left page.
Thanks!

paper & stickers: Fancy Pants Day Spa
Cucumber
Sky Blue
Stripes
Wide Stripes
2 Diamond
rub-ons: Basic Grey Wholly Cow (silver)
ink: Tim Holtz Distressed Walnut
I used a Becky Higgins sketch for my layout design.
For the background I used 2 pieces of Diamond paper, then cut 2 horizontal
strips ( 3 1/2" wide) from the Stripes paper; one for each page. To the left
page I added a large 8 x 8" square cut from the Wide Stripes paper; to set
off the main photo. I double-matted my main photo with Cucumber, then
Sky Blue. (all edges are inked with the Walnut Stain) I added photo
corner stickers to the photo, except the bottom left corner that has the
accent sticker. For the title I used the Basic Grey silver rub-on letters.
On the righthand page I used three 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" photos across the
bottom, and two 3 1/2 x 4" photos matted together at the top. That
left room for a small tag sticker in the middle of the page where I added
the date with the rub-on numbers. There's still plenty of room left on
either page for journaling or captions.
Thanks for looking!

paper: Basic Grey Lucky
2 - Destiny
2 - Kismet
1 - Iris
cardstock: Bazzill - Pearberry & Starlight
monograms: Basic Grey Lucky
rub-ons: Basic Grey Wholly Cow Silver
ink: Ranger - Tim Holtz Distress ink - Black Soot
font: Arial Narrow MS
I used a Becky Higgins sketch.
For the left page I used a whole piece of Destiny paper, mounted 3
vertical photos on Pearberry Bazzill, & added 2 strips of Kismet
above & below. I added a rectangular piece of Pearberry for the
"THE" rub-on letters. (I outlined them in black pen because they
weren't showing up well on the Pearberry)
for the right page I used a whole piece of Iris paper for the background,
a rectangular piece Destiny for an accent, the other piece of Pearberry
for 3 horizontal photos (notice it isn't big enough, so I added a strip of
Kismet to fill out the mat for the photos.) The journaling was done on
a piece of Pearberry cardstock, and was mounted at the bottom of the
Destiny accent piece.
for the title I used 2 monograms, inked them, and cut out a freehand
shadow out of Starlight Bazzill. The rest of the title words & the date
are silver BG rub-ons on Starlight, backed with Pearberry.
I inked everything on the page with Black Soot Distressed Ink.
Journaling:
Every year the city of Jefferson, Georgia puts on a Halloween
Walk for the children. In the late afternoon they arrive in their
costumes and parade around the downtown area, stopping at
different merchants to Trick Or Treat for candy. Since we don't
have any kids come to our home on Halloween I decided to
take my camera to get some Halloween photos. I was
amazed by how crowded the little downtown area became,
and was also amazed by how hot it was that day - 80 degrees
and high humidity. After all it was the last week in October!
I saw some really cute costumes - Dorothy, The Hulk,
Scarlet O'Hara; but I felt really sorry for the little kids in those
furry tiger costumes. They must have been roasting!
I was really pleased with my little photo session. I got some
pretty fall displays, some great shots of the old court house
and grounds, plus some fun Halloween shots to scrap.
I paid the price for that two-hour walk around the concrete
sidewalks though. It was really rough on my arthritis and
fibromyalgia, and I was basically stuck at home for a week
afterwards. Live and learn.
Thanks for looking!

Photos of my Mom on graduation day 1937. Also her senior yearbook photo.
I thought I'd try something completely different for me - - using the heritage photos with brand new paper with bold patterns. I actually kind of like it. :)
paper: Three Bugs in a Rug: Spicy
Stripes, Gusto, & Chamomile
cardstock: Bazzill
Java, Barkley, & Stonewash
stickers: Three Bugs in a Rug: ChitChat
ink: Ranger - Tim Holtz Distressed Walnut Stain
I used 2 sheets of Java Bazzill for the backgrounds. I cut the 3 Bugs in a Rug papers
into different sized strips (Stripes, Gusto, & Chamomile) For the left page I layered 3
different strips together on the bottom half of the page. I double-matted the 5 x 7" photo
with Bazzill Barkley & Stonewash and inked all edges. I added a 3 Bugs sticker in the
bottom corner for an accent. The title letters were cut from the Gusto paper.
For the right page I used another 3 strips of pattern paper, putting the Stripes paper
horizontally (matted with Stonewash), and the Gusto & Chamomile strips vertically on
the right edge. I took 3 varied sized photos and put them randomly on the page; matting
one with Barkley and one with Stonewash. The other I left unmatted. All edges were inked.
I used a phrase sticker and a circle sticker for accents.
Thanks for looking!

Supply list:
Basic Grey Skate Shoppe paper: McShifty, K-Stall, Alias, Hemlock, & 9-Iron
Basic Grey Skate Shoppe tags & monogram
Basic Grey Wholly Cow Rub-ons: Stamp Alpha black, & Alpha Black
Making Memories brad: Springtime lrg.
Tim Holtz Distressed ink: Walnut Stain
Instructions:
These photos are 13 years old, and I love the fresh, updated look I got from the Basic Grey Skate Shoppe papers. I created a 2-page layout for 7 photos, and began by selecting the "McShifty" circle paper for the left page background because the design worked well with the baseball theme. The background paper for the right page is "Hemlock".
For the design of the pages I cut the "K-Stall" striped paper into 2 strips - 12" x approx. 2" - to go vertically on the left side of both pages. And a larger strip 12" x 6" to go horizontally near the bottom of the left page. The large square of "Alias" paper for the right page is 10 1/2 x 10 1/2".
For the title I chose the "b" monogram to use for the 1st letter of both "Braves" and "Baseball". For the title words I used both Alpha & Stamp Alpha rub-ons. I also added some stars and dot rub-ons in a few circles of the patterned paper for extra interest. The circle tag with the year becomes the center focus of the right page and also brings a bit of that circle patterned paper to the left page.
Only 2 of the photos were matted with the "9-Iron" brown paper to draw the brown color across both pages. I also used the ink to edge everything - - all the cut pieces of paper, the photos, the mats, the monogram, and the tags. I really like the contrast when all the elements are outlined with ink, so I do it on most of my layouts.
Photo sizes: left page - focal photo 5 1/2 x 6 1/2" ; face photo 3 x 4" ; odd-shaped photo 1 1/2 x 5"
right page - two 4 x 6" photos ; one 3 x 3" photo ; and a photo cut to fit the tag.
I wrote descriptions next to most of the photos, and hand-wrote my journaling up the side of the layout on the plain piece of "Hemlock" paper.

Sketch By Erica used
The background paper for both pages is "Stand-Alone Stripes" I cut a sheet of
"A Historical Fact" in half for the accent pieces: left page - used vertically; right page -
used horizontally. I tore 2 strips of "Pissy Paisley" - a 4 1/2" strip for the L side, and
a 1 inch strip for the edge of the R side.
I spelled out my title on "Tomboy's Don't Wear Pink" paper and hand-cut each letter
into rectangles or squares (no measuring). I used a 5 x 7" photo for the L page and
double-matted with "Pink" and Starlight Bazzill. I used 3 photos on the R-hand page,
and I cut them in strange sizes so I could include the whole bench full of stuffed animals
and the baby. I matted one photo in pink, one with the Starlight Bazzill, and left the 3rd
photo unmatted.
I edged everything with the Distressed Walnut Stain ink.
Then I strung white alphabet beads on a white wire to spell her name, and curled the
ends of the wires and attached the whole thing with glue dots.
Thanks for looking!
