Admiring You Is So Easy

I can't believe how out of my element was to make this layout. It is not even similar to anything I've designed before. As a background I used 7 Gypsies paper which was torn and inked in Tim Holtz "red brick" distress ink. Then I used a brick template by "The Crafter's Workshop" and inked it in red to get the brick effect to match the picture. I used the brick effect as an element for a challenge at Challenge Me Happy. It's the first challenge of this cool new blog. They gave us a picture as an inspiration and we had to pick an element that we liked from the picture and scrapbook it. I love challenges because they make me a better scrapper and help me come out of my element and try new things.

On this layout I also used a lot of metal embellishments. I actually went through my stash and took out everything that matched the layout. Under the picture I used a metal mesh from "Memory Makers" as a mat.

For the title I used the word "Admiring" which is the new word challenge for Bird is the Word . The page is busy but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!!

A.K.A Calapillow

So my daughter has this very cute way of saying Caterpillar. Since she can't say it properly, it actually sounds as if she's saying Calapillow. It is so adorable. Although she's a girly girl, she loves pickimg up caterpillars and worms from the ground. Last time we were at the park she found a caterpillar on the ground and played with it as if it was a toy. She held it in her hands and let it crawl on her arms.
I used the pictures I took that day to make a layout based on the June 15th sketch at Once Upon a Sketch.

I used lots of products by Webster's pages. I really like their bloomers and mesh flowers. They add so much character to a page. I cut out the flowery border from a DCWV paper pad called Mariposa. I really like the double meaning of the caterpillar and the butterflies on this layout.

Son

So after scrapbooking girly pages for a few days I decided to design a layout about my son. I rotated sketch # 48 by Sketchabilities to make this amazing layout about him. The whole time while I was working on it, I had the song "Time in a bottle" stuck in my head because I can't believe my son is 10 years old:

 "If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you......"
 I love how this layout turned out. I used a very old paper that probably a lot of you have in your stash but have never used. I combined it with some brown cardstock, webster's pages and K&Company papers. The flowers which I love, love, love, are from Petaloo and the gemstones from Prima. I did something on this layout that I never do, I put a hidden journaling tag under the photo. It has a very cute poem about boys written on it:

Being a Boy is not so

much about your destination

in Life but choosing the

path that leads to a

colourful journey, filled

with good friends and

awesome moments

Yor personality is a

portrait of yourself.

Don't take yourself too

seriously; the best moments

in life come when you least

expect them. Make today an

adventure. Keep dreaming,

Keep smiling

-Patsy Gaut-

Sassy

Here is my take on the June Sketch Challenge by My scrapbook Nook. Its another wonderful sketch by Nadia who is hosting the challenge this month.
I used new papers by Sassafras and flowers by Prima. The chipboard flowers are from an old stash by Technique Tuesday and I sprayed the page with Tattered Angels mist.  I called it Sassy because it really describes my daughter's attitude most of the time. Look at the way she's standing in this picture and posing!! So Sassy!!
