Page Maps Challenge Basic Grey Sketch

Ok finally got a better picture of this LO before the deadline was completely up. I used American Crafts Shabby Chic papers, buttons, 'the' Remarks stickers and 'sky' Thickers. The yellow scalloped card stock is DCWV. The other scalloped border is done with a Fiskars border punch with some tape on some scrap paper. The butterfly transparency is Colorbok. I think the pearls might be Kaiser Craft and the 'in' is Making Memories. Felt butterfly from ? Quote is a sheet of stickers who's brand name escapes me now but they do a lot of sticker quotes in themes. (Not Quick Quotes I know that)
Picture is me from 1984.

For wanting to win Basic Grey I sure used a lot of American Crafts!

Unknown Underwear Soldier

I used the September Sketch from Julie at Let's Scrap. She probably didn't think she'd get a LO about an unknown underwear soldier!

I also did this for the Scrap U Assignment at Scrap Friendzy I printed off the music sheets and tea stained them. I had done some random music notes so I punched and made some pleated flowers. Then I knew what pics I wanted so I printed another sheet and wrote out the lyrics to God Bless My Underwear. (Again poor challenge makers probably didn't think they'd be getting this.) The papers were BoBunny MamaRazzi and the cardstock is DCWV. The button on the flower was in my stash from my Granny's buttons. The journaling says If Pictures Could Talk...they could tell me who this unknown underwear soldier is from my Grandfather's photos. Oh and I have a vellum quote Armed & Dangerous on there from Colorbok. I used Tim Holtz photo negative die cut for the black cardstock.

Page Maps Challenge Daffy VS Pratchett

Page Maps is having a contest that ends TODAY. So I quickly made this LO last night. I used word to put a white border around the pictures and add thought bubbles and lighting. Then I made different splats and lightning in word and changed the gradient and patterns and cut all those little shapes out!

The shiny background is DCWV At Home collection. That yellow thing I have no idea!! Pinky gave it to me a while back and I thought it just worked well :D There names are in Thickers by American Crafts. I love Big Lots! Those packages were about 2 bux a piece :D

Grandpa Malik

Wow over a month it's been! Thank goodness for Page Maps Blog having a Sketch Contest to get me jumpstarted again!

I visited my parents at the beginning of July and found these awesome papers by Bo Bunny called Mamarazi. Scrapbooking from the Inside Out has some of the papers in their Discovery Kit.
With the old cameras and travel papers I thought this would be wonderful paper for my Grandfather's old photos. So I searched around my parents house and got with my Uncle to find old photos and I scanned them into my parents computer. Snapfish was having a sale so I got a good deal on the photo prints too :) It's nice not having to use cardstock for all my pictures!

The Metalic background is from DCWV At Home cardstock stack. It matched really well with the Bo Bunny and was on clearance at Michaels. The ribbons were things I had in stash. I inked the white ric rac with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Frayed Burlap. The edges of the bracket paper and the PP were distressed and inked with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. The buttons were from Pinky's Stash that she gave to me. The metal tag was in my stash and I inked it with lettuce, Gold Metalic and a brown Alchol Ink. The photo slide had been in my stash from a swap probably when I still lived in FL. The letters are American Craft Thickers found at Big Lots. I used funTape and Daisy D's rub ons around the edge (Daisy D's went in the trash afterwards) but the Daisy D's regular rubon's worked well under the title on the pictures. I used a scrap of brown cardstock, punched it with Fiskars Upper Crest, ran it through my crimper, trimmed it, sanded and inked it with Faded Jeans and put it under the left photo.
