Once Upon a Sketch Scrapbook Layout Challenge Entry

Hey there!

Thanks for visiting!

Just wanted to share with you my entry into the OUAS scrapbook layout challenge.

The challenge jounalling theme was "The men in our lives..." and the sketch that went with the challenge went a little something like this:

My layout was about how dance has brought wonderful people into my life, but specifically, a man named Anton. He is someone I truly admire and this layout is dedicated to him and his awesomeness. :)

This was probably what I would consider my first mixed media style of layout. I used my Studio Calico scrapbook kit to create it, along with: my new twinkling h2o's for some background colour, a bunch of tattered angel sprays to add to the background colouring, some gesso mixed with some gel medium for another layer of colouring and some inka gold paste mixed with gel medium to add serious texture to those clouds on the left hand side.

The title is simply A.S. because it's Anton's initials. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapbook layout for My Creative Sketches

This is my first layout completed with the Studio Calico scrapbook kit from July (Penny Arcade).
It was made for the challenge over at My Creative Sketches.

The sketch was as follows:

Although I love layers, using this kit is pushing me to use as few layers as possible, in order to get the most use of the kit. :P

Here is my take on the sketch!

The photos are from 2008 when I was using my flip phone camera to take selfies. LOL
Then I had to MMS them to my email address in order to download it. Hah!

Studio Calico Card Kit done...

I decided that, in order to keep my stash to a minimum, when it comes to my Studio Calico kits, I will be pro-active, use them up and sell what I don't use.

In respect to the card kit, this meant that since I had finished using up the cardstock bases that came with the kit to make 5 or 6 cards - I don't remember, it was time to sell it since there was no longer any cardstock for me to use up.

In the end, I used up all the wooden stars and the cardstock.

I sold the leftover patterned papers (12 sheets), the die, buttons and stamp set. I actually had some leftover ribbon as well, but I forgot to add that to the sale listing and it's already mailed. Oops!

In any case, now I'm moving on the scrapbook kit!

Hopefully I can get through the whole SB kit for Penny Arcade before the August one gets here!

Below are samples of the cards I've made using the SC card kit. :)

I also made a card front (i.e. it has no base), but I haven't taken a photo of that one yet, so it's not included. :)
