Red page

This photo is of a trust building activity that we did at drill. It is 2 x 4 with rope handles. The challenge is for two teams to see which team gets to the finish line first.
I used a new paper called Classic Columns Solar White behind the photo. I love that the paper has great texture. The red is Basis Red. Both are from Paper Temptress. The sketch is Unscripted Sketches. I used Guiding Light from Gina K.

Graduation


Ok, I have suprised myself because I got photos scrapbooked only a month after the event. I used the new wonderful 12 x 12 Basis Light Blue as the base. The text box is Sparkle Mangue& Incandescent Candino. The photos are framed by Galaxy Gold. I used Studio G stamps and Studio G ink on the top and bottom borders. I traced the images with a clear glitter pen. The ribbon and brads are from my stash. The stamp about the photos is Clear Dollar Stamp. The photo with the grads sitting is Katie as a little girl on the screen. The school does a silde show of each of the graduates showing pictures from the beginning till now. I just can't believe time has flown so quickly.

Recipe-
All paper is from Paper Temptress
Stamps- Studio G & Clear Dollar Stamps

Weiman Wranglers

Lauren has helped design these cute images in honor of Ethan. Go to her blog for the complete story. You can download thes cute digital images from Pink Cat Studio.

I created this card for Lauren's challenge to use these cute images. I colored with Twinkling H2O's. I printed on Sparkle Text paper from Paper Temptress. I than chalked around the image than added flower soft for grass. The ribbon is Mary Arts. The pink squares are Pez A Blings.

Heather has some wonderful blog candy for supporting this wonderful cause.

Vicki has a gift certificate to one lucky person.

This card fits Lee's challenge from Gina K's June Release Party.

Greetings Card

I made some more DP. I hope to share later the differences I found in using different papers. The main panel is Heavy Heavy Heavenly White 180# from Paper Temptress. I used Espresso, Butterscotch and Aqua Alcohol inks on the large panel. The small panel is a mix of Espresso and Willow. In the corners are Pez A Blings. All the Alcohol Inks and Pez A Blings can be found at Pez A Doodle. I used Studio G inks on this card. I am amazed at how wonderfully these inks work with clear stamps. I get clear and perfect inkings everytime I use them. I have tried cheaper inks before and have been unhappy. I was leerey to try Studio G inks but I heard great things and I figured for a dollar, I didn't have much to loose. I have pre ordered the new colors coming in August from Pez A Doodle. The new colors Studio G have coming out are wonderful. There is even a metallic set. If you have not been to Marti's blog lately, Go see the wonderful new skittles. She has some amazing colors and some amazing picture ones to match current stamps and upcoming stamps.

Red, White, and Blue Stuidio G Challenge

I created a fun page for my nephew. I am making a scrapbook for him and my niece for Christmas using up extra photos I have. I used the lollipop stamp for the circles. I painted Ruby Red Liquid pearls on the circle and then stamped with Faded Blue Jeans Distressed ink. To give it more shine, I clear embossed the circle. This fits the scrapbook sketch on Stamp TV. All paper is from my scrap pile. All the supplies except paper can be found at Pez A Doodle.
My daughter Katie took part in the challenge too and created this fun card. The Belli challenge is patriotic Theme this week.
