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.

*Heidi Swapp papers
*Little Yellow Bicycle Zach's life paper for the numbers

Loved the sketch soo much had to do a paper and digi with it

  A year or so ago I saw a great layout in a magazine, sorry I can't find it to tell you who did it, but it was very cool.  So I saved it and did a digi layout version last year, I will post it here first. Then this week I decided to do a paper layout version of it as well with the Brook line from Crate paper.

The digi version:

New paper layouts

I went on a scrapbooking weekend and have a few to share now. Some I have loaded at fortheluvofart.com and  at awalkdownmemorylane.net  I also posted them in my photo album on Facebook.

The supplies and close ups are below each layout. Thanks for looking

Fierce @ 40

Supplies Used:

This is my interpretation of Ed Hardy style using Shimmerz:

I hand drew the flower and the banner, painted both with shimmerz Jilted Jade (Paint pot)and mixed with a chocolate berry color of smooch for the flower

I also used a Tim Holtz stamp with the Jilted jade painted onto it to stamp little dots in the upper left and lower right corners

The black paper is Coordinations Black Magic Mantra, but I took the Tim Holtz embossing folder Rays and put the jilted jade directly in it to color the splat areas. Then I hand painted the rays with the jilted jade.

The rest is Prima bling, Zva creative black bling swirl, lots of Basic grey rub ons, Glitz glam rub ons, Pink paislee rub ons. Rainboots alpha for the @ sign, and the Glitter Jewelery box alpha. Fierce is a cricut cut alpha and the true type font is Be Safe.

Good Grief Time flies.....

When your up to your eyeballs. I thought I just posted this last week- guess not.


I plan to post early next week some new chipboard designs I have been working on, 2 of the July kits will have Twisted Cherry Designs in the kit and are totally exclusive to Serendipity Scrapbooks.


I am also working on a special altered album for the class proposal for the CKC Seattle in Nov. I haven't taken photos of the process, but will post later this month when I am done. This is just an overview, since the papers and embellishments will more than likely change by Nov.


I am very Excited that Tim Holtz is going to be our Chat guest June 17th, and I am prepping to post the contest for June- Ranger/Tim Holtz manufacturer contest. I meet him about a year and a half ago, he is very gracious and bubbly. He is so smooth with his techniques and gives fabulous ideas. This is him at Memory Trends fall 2007.

I have also contacted Black market society papers and currently mulling over a purchase very soon. They do not have a site up yet, but they are working on it.

School is out here for the kids on the 18th, so we are still trudging along- I can't wait till it's over.

The weather has taken a turn- back to our lovely down pour and cool weather. However, I did take a few more photos of some of the iris' that bloomed, a poppy and a flowering plant I forget the name of.

I hope your week goes well. I hope to post sooner than later as I have been. Have a good one.
