Sunday Scrap page: Music

Here is my scrap page for today.

Two men I adore: my DH and my GS

are the main focus of this weeks

music theme at Club Scraps's

Weekly Chronicles.

For this weeks page I used the 2012 

Bright Light, Big City papers.

The text as usual, printed with the

computer and the musical notes are made

with the circles out of Michael Strong's

cloisonne accents set.

 I stamped the circles on black paper

with versamark and then embossed it with

silver embossing powder.

The circles are cut out with a punch

and I used some black paper strips to make the 

musical notes with.

The tags and sentiment stamp are all from the Club Scrap

Bright Light, Big City kit as well as the ribbons

used on the page.

My adorable men are having a great time together.

Happy Sunday to you!

Have a creative day!

Happy Fall

It is officially FALL today,

so I wish you all a Happy Fall

and made this funny card for you.

It is also my September challenge

card for the Michael Strong stampgroup.

I made this picture in my garden

of the fall leaves and used it for this card.

I did not print on photo paper,but on

heavy white card stock,so I could stamp

and emboss on it.

I used the Michael Strong cloisonné leave stamps and

the alphabet stamps. You find all these stamps here.

For the spider i used the circle accent stamp.

They eyes and heard are done with the SU! owl stamp.

Hope you all have a nice start of Fall.

Have a creative day!

Blog Hop: Hambo Time machine

Welcome to "Hambo's Time Machine" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo friends and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict something cool from the 1980's! It might be our favorite book, something in the news then, a fashion fad, a song, or something that really stuck out to us in looking back. If you arrived here from Jenn you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo Blog to make sure you are eligible for the hopper prize!

A prize will be awarded to one participant whose comic strip-themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way!  Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all of the blogs along the way. The winners will be announced on the Hambo company blog, Talk to the Ham, on Wednesday, September 25, as well as at the Hambo Hoedown challenge blog. We love comments anytime, but the deadline for prize entry comments is Sunday, September 22 at 5 PM CST. Don't miss it!

Now here is my creation:

It was in the 80s that we started having computers

and many of us played hours and hours of packman.

This game inspire me to make this card.

The background to this card is an image

I found on internet and saved to my computer to print.

The packman images are from rubber plate.

Remember we used to make many fun and

cheap jewellery and other things with this rubber plate.

I cut the circles with a spellbinder circle and

my bigshot.

The word wicked is a much used word in the

80s and printed with the packmania font

that you can freely download at

http://www.dafont.com/alpha.php?lettre=p&page=2

The people that have so much fun with

the packman game are a digital image

by Hambo and is called "Laughing"

and can be found HERE.

I think I go and find the game again

and have another go at it:

Now swing on over to

 Jane

for another great trip back to the 80's

that will jog your memory --

or show you something you missed!

Have a creative day!

Create with TLC: Dear Food

So when Paulette from

Create with TLC

gives you digital stamps....

you start making a card!

And when those stamps contain something with coffee

I am unstoppable!

The set is called

"Dear Food" and you find it

HERE in the shop.

I get out my gelli plate

and my coffe bean embossing folder

and see what happend:

I have a 6x6 gelli plate, some acrylic paints,

a coffee bean embossing folder and a brayer.

Take a piece of cardstock and use your

embossingfolder to have some raised

beabs on your paper.

After rolling out the paint on your plate,

you press the beans into the paint.

The right piece is the embossed paper with paint

and the left paper is the paper that was pressed

on the gelli plate.

After about 10 minutes I had severalpieces

of wonderful background  paper to make a coffee card.

Also I roll my brayer in my art jounal and

have to pages for some coffee journaling ready.

With this Club Scrap stencil I added some lettering to

the background with walnut stain distress ink.

This is the finished background paper.

 And here is the finished card with

the coffee can and sentiment by

Create with TLCand papers

from various Club Scrapkits.

 If you clickon the photo,you can see

a close up of everything.

The advantage of digital stamps is you

can easily make the picture larger

or smaller and even flipthe image.

This is the inside of the card.

Dear God:

thank you for Paulette's digital stamps!

Have a creative day!

Hambo Hoedown: decorative scissors

Here is my entry for Hambo Hoedown blog.

The challange this week is

to use your decorative scissors.

 

Can you see I have been using

3 different kinds?

 

For this card I used their

Hamster Heart image

 that you can find here.

 

I colored the hamster with pencils

very softly. I used to have a hamster as a child

and it was so much fun to play with him.

 

Have a creative day!

 



Sunday Scrap page: Adventure

Today I have a double page for you

for my scrap page for the Weekly Chronicles.

 

Theme this week: Adventure

If you click on the picture you can read about

by DD's adventure.

 

The papers i used for these pages are

Club Scraps Tribalkit papers.

 

The butterfly stamp is by

Michael Strong.

Here the left page.

I used one of the ALSB intructions to

make thes pages (layout 11 & 12)

You find these instructions

on the Club Scrap website here.

The strip behind the cut out is a technique

by the Technique Junkies called Broken Border

and if you are a member of the Technique Junkies

you find this in the August/ September 2012 newsletter.

In the middle of the strip you see some home made

washi paper (for instructions go here).

This is the right page with a same kind of

border vertical. Here is a ribbon in the

middle part of the strip.

This is a close upof the tatoo.

These are the letters of my DD's name

decorated with little buterflies.

 

This border technique also is

 great for cards:

 

Thank you for looking.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

 

 

Have a creative day!

 

 

 

 

Sunday Scrap page: Job

Weekly Chronicles theme this week

at Club Scrap is: my job

and as I work at a flower company

I thought the Wisteria kit

and Michael Strong's tulip stamps

are the right choice for this page.

Here you see a basket of tulips.

The tulips are embossed in green and purple

and colored with distress stains, then

cut out and glued to the background

with a few gemstones.

The background is made with a 

Club Scrap  stencil and more 

of Mike's tulip stamps combined with

some leave stamps.

I used distress ink shaded lilac.

Here you can have a closer look at my text box.

Made with the computer and shaded with the same ink and

the smal tulip stamp.

Have a creative day!
