Doing a B.O.M Challenge... On HUMMIES WORLD

I am working on a Book of Me Challenge On Hummies World..http://www.hummiesworld.com/forum/content.php   




I think everyone should do a B.O.M album, as we scrappers rarely scrap about ourselves. Our Children would appreciate a book about their moms, just as much as they do books about themselves.
There are 2 sets of Challenges for a total of 40 pages, a great start to an Album all about YOU..




Here is what I've done so far.. One Page I did Twice.  I will ad more as I finish them..

 

This is Challenge 1 Hometown

 

Challenge 2 (one) Defining Moment in your life.

Challenge 3 Favorite Traditional Hymn.

This one I did with out the journal box  for myself.

Stay Tuned for the rest of the series..

Altered Box : Chair

I plan to do a video of this box so that you can see more detail. I had seen these 2x2 paper fold boxes, and was inspired to make a different kind. Mine is made from a 4x4 paper mache box from the dollar tree. I made the back of the chair with a piece of chip board.  The Striped paper is from DCWV Luxury Stack. The other paper is a type of velvet paper that's really soft. I had the little vintage spaghetti poodle hanging around, which use to be part of a figurine set but the lady had gotten broke. I even made the pillow the dog is sitting on. This turn out to be a very study box and was a lot of fun to make.

You Tube Channel....

I just wanted to share the link to my You Tube Channel. I have an altered box Video, my first ever altered box, as well as videos of my craft room, which starts out as a Mess, and continues as I try to get it straight.
I hope you will visit my channel and comment on my videos.

Celebrate the 4th of July Scrap N Style...

Over the past few days I've been doing a lot of Fourth of July Pages and a Card.. I thought I would share them here with you...

The First Two Layouts are Digital - From the Americana Bundle $9.99 at Daisy Company and a few other elements from various Free Kits..

This Layout is a Hybrid made with a few digital kits, printed in 8x8, then matted on 12x12 card stock and embellished with prima flowers,  Distressed Inked Grunge Board, and ribbon.

And Finally a Card Using Digi Stamps... How Cute is that! The Heart Stamp is a freebie from Operation Write Home, the inside dog and word art is my own creation.

Hope I've inspired you to create some 4th of July pages/Cards Yourself..

Reflections..

I had fun last night playing with reflections, and thought I would share my pages.

The first one is of my dog Hooch. I often use these photos of Hooch when learning new techniques because of the plain backgrounds.  I first made a Word Art Frame with his name, added his pictures and converted it to a Bitmap.

Then I copied the Bitmap, reversed it and butted it up against the first picture, using tools like Transparency and Blur effects, I made it appear as a reflection of the top photo.

In  the following page:

 I used two photos that my DH took of a Sun Set and water.

I first took the sunset picture, copied and reversed the second image, butted it up against the first, applying the same techniques as I used in my page of Hooch. Then I took the second Picture of water, used the transparent effects and layered it on top of the second photo.

Added the boat, ducks and lab puppy and came up with a very peaceful page.

Hope you enjoy my pages..

Purse Card Template Freebie

I wanted to share a card with you I recently made. I've seen similar cards with a steep price tag. So I decided why not try to make one my own way.  I made the template used it in my digital scrapbook software. To ad the color and the pocket on the front. Then Printed and Cut it out, added the ribbon handle and little charm dangle. I made the charm dangle with some broken pieces of jewelry, some pony beads and a key ring.

I also made a template for Traditional Scrapbook artist and card makers as well.. See the link under the pictures to down load this freebie..
