Senior picture layout

I decided to scan in a senior photo of my son and tried a photo filter called Poster.  Thought it was fun and printed to scrap it.

Doing this layout I came across a new technique that may be fun and useful to others.  I was using a tile from a company that was called my little black dress. I covered it with Tim Holtz Crackle paint Picket fence- spread it thinly with my finger then set it with a heat gun for the crackle.  I then spritzed it lightly with the Shimmerz Vibez (orange) and let dry. Then I went to apply a word rub on...but found that if I just rubbed on the letters with a round stylus it removed the paint below and left a negative space that spelled the word.  COOL- so I left it.

I have posted the supplies below the image. Thanks for looking.

Where has the time gone??

Wow, I thought I just posted the tutorial a week ago. Things have been very busy here, school, the site, activities etc. I have been starting to prep for the CKC class A moment in time that I will be teaching at the Bellevue CKC in Nov. The class registration opens up on October 26th at Creating keepsakes site.

I have also been sorting new products that came in for the store- Yummy sassafras lass, websters pages, Fancy pants!! American Crafts, Luxe Designs. I expect the Crate paper, Basic Grey papers and embellishments and the Little Yellow Bicycle christmas anytime this month.

I have been trying to do the challenges in the new photo forum we have, and I am failing. I do not know whats up with me or my camera. I have the Canon rebel XLT, and I was trying to do the slowest shutter speed to capture running water, and all I get is black-HUH?? Back to the drawing board I guess.

I did do a digi layout of my DH. I like this photo of him, and liked it big. Isn't he a hunk? Anyway, I will try to upload some fun things in the next week or so. I am designing the make n take for the Great pumpkin search shop hop for the store. I hope you all stop by and shop. later.

Yummy scrapbooking goodies- Little Yellow Bicycle, Moda Bella & digi kit After the Rain

I haven't posted in over 2 weeks. Things were very hectic. First my husbands birthday, finishing all work to go camping for a few days, then prep the kids and finish work for the 1st. I don't get sick hardly at all and was hit with a very bad cold, which had me a bit fuzzy and soo tired. Then I still had to my kids to start school this last week and do all the first of the month things-WHEW! I am a bit tired still.


I have gotten some new paper goodies that I can't wait to play with from Fancy Pants and American Crafts Moda Bella ; & the new Frightful line from Little yellow bicycle. Then Jennifer Barrette has been creating like mad, I am not caught up. I saw an amazing layout in either Memory makers or Creating Keepsakes (can't find it anywhere to be sure) and loved it.


So last night and this morning I finally did a Digi layout but scraplifted the design. I used Jennifer Barrettes After the Rain kit you can get at either Elemental Scraps or Gotta Pixel.
I got picked today for the Standing O's at Oscraps message board. Its just like the pick of the day at Serendipity Scrapbooks. It was the first time I have been picked on a digi board- Hey for me!

To see everything I used and the fonts just see it in the Serendipity Scrapbooks gallery. Have a great day everyone!
