Smile

This is a layout I made for an old picture. It was taken in September 2008 when my husband (then boyfriend) and I went to Rajashtan, India, for 2 weeks.

I stamped some images on this layout using Unity Ippity stamp set, Life is the Journey.

 

The circles at the top left corner were created using Spellbinder Nestabilities dies. I added some flower buttons and the cute cloud wood veneer I bought from Diana McRae. I stamped a red heart on the wood veneer and drew the black line around the heart.

 

What I like about this particular paper from My Mind's Eye Life Story line is that it's a perfect paper for documenting your photos. I filled in the "General Information" part with some information about the picture.

 

I used some vinyl Thickers for the title. I added a Maya Road transparent ribbon as a background for the title. Another cute arrow wood veneer from Diana is used here. I stamped a circle frame around the phrase "Full of Joy". I added an airplane brad from Making Memories to the bottom left corner of the picture.

At the bottom right corner of the page, I stamped a bar code image using Stampin' Up stamp that Cindy gave to me (THANKS, Cindy!). I used my Memento marker to color all the area of the stamp except for the number area in the middle, so that I could write "Captured ♥ Documented" in that area.

MyScrapRoom Challenge #28

In challenge #28, we are asked to turn a toilet paper roll into something. Also, as part of the requirements, we need to use gift tissue paper, acrylic paint and some chipboard.

I decided to make a gift tag holder. For this project, I used some red and some teal tissue paper. I turned the red tissue paper into a faux washi tape. As for the teal tissue paper, I used it as an embellisment for the pocket, after adding some red Distressed Ink to it.

I also used a Tim Holtz die to die cut a reindeer chipboard and cover it with a gift wrapper.

-Unity Stamp from August 2010 Kit of the Month

-Toilet paper roll, gift tissue paper, yellow acrylic paint.
