My Boy--Sketchabilities #54- DT

This is my new DT reveal for August 30th, Sketchabilities Sketch #54. This was a fun sketch to work with because I love designing with circles. I used  the new Echo Park Victoria Garden paper. I mainly used blues and greens although this EP line is mainly pink.

This is another layout using the Basic Grey Hello Lucious papers.  I used some Dusty Attic pieces and some Petaloo flowers. I used the first sketch from My Creative Sketches. I also use Palette #73 from The Color Room.

Born in our Heart

Basic Grey has started a new blog and has a Design Team call. I was really excited when I saw this. Although its a long shot, I'm applying with the hopes that they take some blogger newbies like me. As soon as I saw this I grabbed my Basic Grey paper and made a layout just for them hoping to grab their attention. I really love how it came out. I used BG's Hello Luscious line. I made a punched border around the circle and decorated with different types of paper flowers all around. My favourite is the title. This is my most favourite picture of my kids and I wanted to find a meaningful title for this layout. "Born in our Heart" just ways it all!! "Not in my belly were you born but in my heart and in my soul!!"

I'm very passionate about scrapbooking and about the memories we pass on to our children. I can't wait until they see this page when they are older and feel the love I feel for them.

Suds and Smiles

This is a layout I made for the Dusty Attic August Sketch Challenge. I had these pictures of my daughter in the bathtub and I used the flourishes to resemble water dripping out of the shower. For the background, I used a mask and painted over it with gesso. Then I took some DA flourished corners and cut them up to separate them. I painted them white and added glossy accents to make them look like water. I also used some circle chipboard and painted it white. I then added clear Stickles to make them look like bubbles. I like the different techniques I used on this layout.  I love to experiment with different mediums.

Father

Here is a layout I made for the August sketch challenge at Get Picky. I used a large chipboard key that I've had for years. I sprayed it with a bronze Tattered Angels and then added crackled accents to make it look antique. I then darkened the crackle with brown chalk ink. I used Tim Holtz grunge hinges and a lock. I painted it with brown crackled paint. Finally I added 2 broken jewelry pieces. One broken earring and a necklace charm. I also used a metal key and a Tim Holtz F token.  I also used a Prima recycled packaging so I can enter this layout for the Scrap for Help August challenge. The theme for this challenge was Fathers and you must use recycled materials.
I like the grungy, vintage look of this page. I tried to make it look like an old wooden door with a rusted lock and hinges!! I used crackled paint on the whole background to make it look antique.
