Memories

  I promised you more layouts and here you go!  First up is another Unity  page...this one was lots of fun to make!  I started again with the new Our Lives, Our Stories kit that I borrowed (I sooooo have to buy this one!!)  The memories title was embossed, as was the rememeber happiness quote (from a KOM).

I stamped the half-frame checkerboard around this and butted it up to the pp strip.  Owl and mushroom are from one of the KOM as is the scroll in the bottom corner.  I added some dew drops around the swirl and to all the scallops on the border (this started as a whole piece of edged cs from Bazzill)   More dew drops in the centers of the primas.

 

The owl journaling piece as well as the pull are from the OLOS kit.

When you pull on the pull tab, it reveals the hidden journaling underneath.

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Our Lives, Our Stories; Remember HApiness; Its the Little Things; (Unity)

• Paper: Sassafras Lass & Bazill

  One more for you...this was for 2 of last weeks challenges on Splitcoast Stampers  but I didn't get it finalized til this week.  The color challenge was Riding Hood Red, Taken with Teal and Baja Breeze.  Also the Scrapbook Variety challenge was to use LOTS of brads!

Some Layouts

Helloooooo!  I am still here!  I have picked up way too many extra hours at work lately and have had very little stamping or blogging time :(  BUT, I took the whole day today and created some layouts!!

I'll show you 2 tonight, then save more for the next couple of days:)  The first up is using new Unity  stamps that I borrowed from my friend Heather...I really want this kit, but I have been seriously having to behave on the extra money lately.  The "the details" stamp is from this new scrappy AWESOME kit, Our Life, Our Stories...it turned out really cool looking on the textured cardstock I used.

The fabbo pattern paper is Pink Paislee...some bits left over of a couple of sheets I found somewhere online last year.  This stuff is hard to find!

Here's a shot at the chick from "Hey Chick" (one of my all-time fav Unity kits), stamped in the frames from the July KOM...the LOVE stamp is from Love, Happiness, Miracles...and the "you" is from the same as the details stamp.  I colored in the edges of the frames and the chicks with copics then added some stickles as well as some bking to the chick's tail feathers:)

Here's the trails of gems coming off some newish primas I stacked up...love the way that looks!   The ribbon is old and from my stash...manufacturer unknown.

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Hey Chick; July KO; Our Life, Our Stories; Love, Friendship, Miracles (Unity)

• Paper: Spring Fling (Pink Paislee); Bazzill cs

• Ink: Palette Burnt Umber

• Accessories: Fern Rhinestones (MaMBI), flowers (Prima); Frosted Lace stickles; scallop scissors; ribbon

  One more for you tonight: this is more Pink Paislee paper (from an old kit from Mosh Posh)...this is one of my favorite lines that PP has put out...Vintage Moon...LOVE it!!  Now I would just love to find the matching stamps!! I cut out the owl from the "Night Owl" paper then pieced him back together whilst popping up his head and wings.

  Isn't he just stinkin' adorable?!!  I added a bunch of primas to this layout too and some more bling.  The frame around the photo is a Technique Tuesday tile.  Its rubbed directly with Chestnut brown cats eye chalk then I stamped over that in Palette ink the paisleys and in vanilla kraft ink the flowers (both stamps are Pink Paislee from the set "Spring Fling". 

  The little birdie is also a stamp from that same set...I stamped it on the back of the pattern paper, then cut it out and flipped it over <wink>

The swirls are from a Unity Kit of the Month...July,  I think.

Overall, I love how the page turned out...this is a pic of my youngest daughter Rachael and 2 friends from a recent school field trip to the Asheboro Zoo..."What a Hoot!!"  (alphabet is Vintage Pop also from PP)

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Vintage Pop alpha, Spring Fling (Pink Paislee); July KOM (Unity)

• Paper: Vintage Moon pp (Pink Paislee); Bazzill cs

• Ink: Palette Burnt Umber; Chestnut Brown cats eye (Colorbox); Vanilla kraft (SU!)

• Accessories: frame tiles (Technique Tuesday); flowers (Prima); gems (MaMBI); pop dots; ribbon (CTMH)

OK, thats it for tonight!  Have a great rest of the weekend and thanks for hopping by!!
