These would be perfect spring days if that dreaded cold wind
would go away. It brings the temperatures so much. It’s supposed to be a
wonderful sunny weekend though so I hope nothing changes overnight…..and I hope
a few warblers show up for us to go see and photograph!
I have a few more scrapbook layouts from 2010 that I haven’t
posted yet so I thought I’d sneak one in.
My grandson, Jack, loves all sports and was excited to get a
skate board. Safety first in his family though so he had to have a helmet and other
protective gear to use it….and lessons. His parents signed him up for a few
lessons so he would know the basics. I pieced together the background including
those skinny ¼” blue strips. The word BRAVE was hand cut after tracing some
letters on co-ordinating cardstock. Three of the photos edges were inked with black
ink and then layered on blue and then brown paper. I die cut an oval
(Spellbinders) out of the same blue and placed one photo behind it and then
layered it on brown. His name was die cut out of the same brown using Cuttlebug
Alphabet die. The blue oval that was cut out was used too once the edges were
inked with brown ink. The skater boy embellishment is a die from Sizzix that
you have to die cut each and every piece – even the small wheels on the
skateboard – and then glue them together. Time consuming but it made a great
accent that was glued to the oval. This time I actually wrote the journal tag
out by hand and then added it to a brown tag that I cut out. Then I just had to
add some blue stars here and there that I hand cut from the same blue – but grunged
up with brown ink – and some other embellishments and it was done. I liked how
it turned out.
Bird season is here for the next month so if I don’t post for a
few days it’s because I’m just too darn tired to do so. We are on our feet for
over 5 hours some days and by the time I get home, I’m done!
That’s it for a cool Thursday,
Cheers
Violet
