Brandi's June Kit Reveal & a Little Challenge

I really love the colors in this kit. They were perfect for this page of Drew on her horse.

It also matched this photo perfectly!

I altered the flower from the kit to match my layout a little better.


I used the Grungeboard piece as a base for this wall hanging. I dry brushed a bit of white paint on it allowing the natural Grungeboard to show through. I created the flower with the book paper & used a brad to hold all the layers together. I wanted the butterflies to appear as if they were flying so I only adhered them at the center. I added a piece of blue lace for the hanger.



My challenge to you is a super simple one! Create a card (or cards) using ONLY the scraps you've cut up while making your layouts.

On the card below I used the orange strip of cardstock that I cut off of my "Ride'em Cowgirl" layout. The red strip was leftover from the background of my 2nd layout and the flower pieces were leftover from my wall hanging. By using only what was already cut I still have plenty of "un-chopped" papers to use on future layouts and I don't have a pile of paper scraps that I need to find a home for!

Abbie's Reveal

Good Morning everyone!!

I loved this kit SOO much!! The first night I played with it I stayed up till 3:30 in the morning because I just couldn't put it down!

This first page "but goodies" as in "oldies but goodies" was inspired by a sketch at So Sketchy. This is a picture of me and two of my really good friends at a wedding a couple of weeks ago.

"Dip & Blow". Pictures of my son blowing bubbles:)

And this kit is SOO huge! After I had done those two pages I still had TONS AND TONS of stuff left. I just HAD to use every last inch of that kit, so I chose to do a mini. My husband is in the AF and I am really not very good about scrapbooking pictures of him, not sure why. But I was so inspired by all the red, white, and blue in the kit, that I decided to put a little book together of some of my favorite shots of him in his uniform:

This is picture of him a few years ago the night he found out what job he would be doing. "A.B.M" is Air Battle Manager.

Here are pictures from his Commissioning Ceremony. Aghhh it was only just beginning...

I took his class photos for them and this is what we did. I photo shopped a picture of them sitting on a couch on top of a jet wing. Turned out pretty cool. Anyway, "09 006" was their class number. To edge the side of the photo I used the JB paper in the kit as a template.
I added the overlay in the album just for fun:

Pictures of my husband graduating from his training school in Florida. He won some awards and we were really proud;)

And lastly I was so inspired by the grungeboard. The stripes reminded me of a flag, so I painted a whole bunch of red on it.

And lastly, just a little note to my DH thanking him for all he does:)


Hope you all have a great Thursday!!

Reveal by Trish!!!

Hey Everyone!

Phew! I am coming to you a tad late in the day due to technical difficulties! (those crazy DoDEA computers do NOT want me to blog at work.. LOL! -so my plans to load once I got there were foiled!)..

Anyway, if you haven't seen this month's SO kit, you should! It is jam-packed full of wonderful goodies! Graphic 45, Jenni Bowlin and some adorable Etsy finds... you should not miss it! This kit is fabulous! (and there is so much goodness that I was able to complete the three projects below and start 3 more! - which I will have to show you later!) Here are my creations:

I add some denim fabric strips I was gifted and a few flowers and letter stickers here and there, but the rest is ALL from this month's kit! Thanks for checking us out!

xoxo

GD Jodi's June Kit Reveal!

Here are Jodi's Fabulous creations with the Jenni Bowlin/Graphic 45 Kit!

Lotw 6/6

Ok, so I totally CHEATED this week!! I have been looking through the gallery for the last half hour and I could NOT decide on just ONE LOTW!!!! With SO has Talent going on right now, there is just TOO much eye candy in there to choose just ONE thing!

SOOOO, I chose..... TEN! he he he

ALLLLLLLLLL of these were submitted into the SO gallery in just this last week!! Can you believe it?!

There was this FUN one by Lisa!! She HAD to have chosen THE perfect paper for these pictures, yes? I also love how she includes pictures of the decorations. Too fun!!

There was THIS gorgeous page by Taryngirl. I LOVE how she chose soft colors that really match her daughter's dress perfectly!! Plus all the little feminine touches she add are just perfect! and it doesn't hurt that she has such a cute picture to scrapbook (she looks SO much like you by the way!)!

Ok, I am NOT someone who knows how to do a page with white space, so anyone who can do it and rock it like rajah1, has my interest immediately! AWESOME job girl!:

I adore this page by Shawneerie!! I just LOVE pages where there is just SO much detail that the more you look at it the more you see. Know what I mean? I mean, check out all the cool little touches she put into this:

LOOK at this one by Stacey Hansen. Her picture of all happy smiling kids is PERFECTLY scrapped with all these fun and happy touches she added with her layering, cutwork, and the fun stickles on the chipboard accents!

On this one by Oceanlover I fell in LOVE with these clear butterfly embellishments she sprinkled everywhere. They are such a sweet and subtle touch adding just the perfect amount of interest!

Adrienne got ultra crafty with us this week when she shared the cute Graduation hat she made!!! How creative and fun is this?!?

If ever there was someone who stalks DMisner's work, it would be me!! She always wows me with her cute pictures matched with perfectly placed details on her page. I LOVE this picture of her daughter, but my FAV part of this picture is the hand that is GINGERLY touching her daughter's back! It is such a small detail to the picture, but doesn't it just warm your HEART?!

There's this one by Elizbailey. As if her pictures aren't gorgeous enough, she has to go and scrap them to perfection in this awesome and simple design to really highlight their beauty! love it girl!

and this one by samanthasib. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE that cluster of gorgeous flowers she made!! and I thought it was clever to take a picture of it right next to the sketch!


And to all those family members, like Trace's son below, who did such a SWEET job scrapping with us this week!! Thanks for the inspiration!! Future DT member? I think so!

Does SO have the best gallery or what?!?! Thanks ladies (and gentleman) for keeping me inspired everyday!!
