What The Hay? Scrapbook Page

This is a sample of the page that I am teaching in my class on Saturday, September 26th. 

The paper is Twitterpated.  The layout was found in the Imagine book.  Sweet Symphony Pg 24.  I do have the pages reversed.  I used chocolate card stock, sorbet card stock, colonial white card stock, chocolate distressing ink the dots and stripes from twitterpated.  I reversed the dot paper to give me the light brown.  Very simple but it looks amazing.  The pictures here are of the What The Hay festival held a little over an hour away from Great Falls, MT.  This is where the locals make hay sculptures and allow the general public to vote on them.  I liked the N-hay-vy ship myself.  The imagination in this festival was wonderful.

Metropolis, Illinois

These photos I just had to share. This all came about on our road trip when there was a sense of urgency in the car to find a bathroom and I was at a quarter tank of gas. We stopped at this little gas station that had these wood figures in Metropolis, Illinois. I just had to take pictures. This scrapbook page is the template Front and Center page 74 of the Reflections book. I used Moonstruck, Topiary, Honey, and Cranberry cardstock. I used a strip of B&T from the stardust paper pack. The letters were ran though my computer and cut out.

Road Trip Pages

Wow! Has it really been a week since my last post. Sorry i will have to get better with this. I made these scrapbook pages today. I used the reflections book for the templates and wonderful ideas. The top page is Title Topper - heading on page 17 and the bottom page is Sampler Collage on page 127. I used Route 66 paper. The cardstock is Moonstruck, Cranberry, and Topiary. I also used the Stick ease from Route 66. Collages are not my strong point in fact I usually stay away from them. This was the best way to share views from more than one subject at once.

Mt. Rushmore Page

This was Scrapbook Challange # 15. These challanges keep me motivated to do more scrapbooking. This is great for someone who needs that little push.

This paper I purchased just for the Mt. Rushmore pictures. I thought it would not take away from the nature elements. I guess I was right. The paper is Simple Pleasures. The stamp set that i used was Ticket Tags. I used twilight ink, and chocolate gross grain ribbon and chocolate waxy flax. I also used chocolate distressing ink. The layout is from the Imagine book Pg 90.

That's Amore Page

This is a sample of the page that we will be doing in our next class. This class will be July 23rd at 7PM. 1117 Ave C. NW Great Falls, MT. RSVP 952-1067. I will be cutting out materials for this class so I will need a head count. I did this layout for a challange and I do love it so I decided to do it as a class.

Life Delights Layout

This was a scrapbook challange from Close To My Heart. The paper is Life Delights. Unfortunally it is retired. I love this paper pack.

The scrapbook layout is in memory of my mother who passed away a week and half ago. I am not quite ready to write any thing personal about her but did want to use her pictures with my favorite paper.

Badlands Outback Paper

This layout was made using Ouback Paper pack. I added autumn terracotta cardstock. This color combination really works well with the natural colors of the landscape. I used a template from the Imagine book page 57.

Learning To Drive

This page was a lot of fun. I used back country pattern paper, outdoor denim and twilight card stock. The brads are from a craft store. They do finish off the page so well. I used a template from the Cherish Book page 40.

Badlands Scrapbook Page

This page was made using a template from the Cherish Book page 64. The paper used was from the paper pack of bella. I used Dementional elements upper and lower case letters. I printed a picture and glued the letters on the back of the picture and then cut them out around the picture. This was a little time consuming but it allowed me to show yet one more picture of this beautiful place.

Badlands national park is located in South Dakota. This used to be the ocean floor billions of years ago. Today it has given us this beautiful national park. There have been many fossils found here. This is also a great way to see how years of erosion effect the earth.
