Hello My Name is Finn

Hey everyone. I have a layout to share today that was inspired by a couple of Facebook challenges. The first was a sketch challenge from My Stamping Studio. The second was a tic tac toe challenge from Scrapbook Your Joy. For the tic tac toe challenge I used orange, multiple photos and stars.
I used the 'Teen Spirit' line from Echo Park Paper for this layout of my two favourite people. Especially love that little face!! Lots of modelling paste and layers of distress ink on the background. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

King of Everything

Hey everyone. Wanted to share a layout that was inspired by the Sketchy Boards Challenge for May, on Facebook. I used the 'Boys Rule' line by Cocoa Vanilla Studio for this page of my grandson and his Dad, goofing around at home. I LOVE Cocoa Vanilla Studio!!! Everything, from the paper to embellishments, is to die for. For the background I applied some watered down distress ink with the packaging technique, then added some stamping and splatters. I was also inspired by a layout by Sue Plumb, who is on the DT for Cocoa Vanilla. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

Dad & Me

 

Hey everyone. Got a layout for you based on Cuts2Luv's and Scrap the Boys' November challenges. Scrap the Boys is a new challenge site for me. I haven't scrapped alot of masculine layouts in the past, but now that I have an adorable little grandson, that's going to change!! Lots of texture on this page with corrugated cardboard, staples, wood veneer stars, stitching, puffy stickers and filmstrips. For the Cuts2Luv challenge I followed the sketch and used the pattern stripes. The Scrap the Boys challenge was to follow a moodboard of green, black, orange and kraft. The first thing I thought of when I saw the moodboard, was the 'Good Fellows' collection of Fancy Pants which fit perfectly. Below are some close ups and the challenges. Thanks for stopping by.

So Handsome

Hey there.  Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  Now that things have slowed down a bit, I'm hoping to do more scrapbooking.  This is my take on Scrap Our Stash's stash challenge for December. The challenge was to use an item from your stash that began with each letter in the word diecuts. The items I used are listed below.

D- dies
I- ink spray
E- envelope
C- chipboard, clock transparency
U- Uniball pen
T- twine, tag, token, ticket
S- stamping, stitching

The photo is of my daughter's horse, Hugo. I got some pictures of him chilling after a pony club pretest. He is such a handsome boy!! The pattern paper I used was from Kaiser Craft's 'Art of Life' collection.

The circles were stamped using plastic containers.  The little hexagons were cut from chipboard that had been covered with pattern paper.

 

The cute little envelope and ticket stub were cut from paper using Sizzix dies. The clock transparency was from Maya Road and the kraft tag from Jillibean Soup. The twine used was from American Crafts.  All of the metal goodies were from Tim Holtz's Ideology collection. Be sure to have a look at Scrap Our Stash's blog. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!
