I have so many boxes filled with family photos just sitting around waiting to be scrapped, not to mention all the photos I take everyday around the inn and Cape Ann. I want to Scrap Those Memories, so we can share them with everyone. I am sure you have those boxes too, so get those photos out and Scrap Those Memories along with me!Tobeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11047231333563477688noreply@blogger.comBlogger100125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948785461262723327.post-12157201362467938532017-02-04T20:15:00.003-05:002017-02-04T20:41:07.422-05:00REVIVED........TRYING TO GET MY CREATIVE MOJO BACK......I have been on a long hiatus suffering from a bit of creative block.....so my friends convinced me to sign up for Creative Jumpstart 2017 through <a href="http://nathaliesstudio.com/">N* Studio</a>......a creative video a day with a different artist.....all to get your creativity working overtime......even though we live miles and miles apart we decided to watch a video and video chat and create real time together......it was so much fun!! The pages were going to be put in my creative journal, but I liked them so much that I decide to frame them so I could hang them up.....the artist we watched was <a href="http://www.rachelgreig.com/">Rachel Greig</a>, you can check her out by clicking her name. I loved the collage method and process, and I got to use a lot of my art supplies that I have not played with in a long time! Hope you like my ocean inspired collage!!<br />

The challenge this week is to use dimension on your card....since I love using pop dots and foam to pop things up on my cards I chose them to add dimension to my card....I created this one for the challenge, using the new pebble card stock rom the holiday catalog. I love this color, it is so versatile, and I think it adds an elegant touch to the navy.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s4jHefUbCxk/TmZHzr4jSnI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ixe6_QWPxF8/s1600/IMG_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s4jHefUbCxk/TmZHzr4jSnI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ixe6_QWPxF8/s320/IMG_0003.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Here are the directions and the list of all the materials I used, all my materials are A Muse|Studio, and can be found in my <a href="http://amusestudio.com/tobey">online web store</a> where you can order direct, or if you prefer, drop me an <a href="mailto:tobeystamps@gmail.com">email</a> and I can assist and order it for you.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">I used the pebble card stock for the card base, and using the Nestabilities Labels One, I cut one large label out of Navy, and one smaller label out of pebble. I stamped the frame with navy ink on the smaller pebble label using the stamp positioned, and then stamped the thank you stamp inside the stamped frame with the stamp positioned. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">I put twinkle stickers 3 on one side, 2 on the other on the sides of the stamped frame. I used the Sakura Quickie glue pen on the top and bottom tear drops, and sprinkled with diamond glitter. Then </span>I adhered the larger label to the card base using 3D mount foam, and then using the 3 D foam mount attached the stamped pebble label on top of the navy label. I tied a bow around the top of the card using satin navy ribbon. Easy and quick card that looks very elegant. Thanks for stopping by and visiting. Now hop on over to the <a href="http://amusestudiochallengeblog.blogspot.com/">challenge blog</a> and post one of your own! You could win an awesome prize!!!</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div></div></div><div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica;

And of course I just had to add a Tim Holtz rosette, I love that Sizzix die....I dressed it up with some course gold glass glitter. A couple ribbons......love it!

We were to scrap some item in our scrapbook stash that we are totally addicted to, something we have tons and tons of and just can't resist. The item should be obvious when you look at the layout. I think this one fits the bill! </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qCBBvKLBLHo/TciokWxjx_I/AAAAAAAAAy8/P5pOXW_LXBw/s320/GTG%2B2010.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604915078804785138" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 314px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div>The last challenge I did was one that I have spent the last 3 days thinking of, trying to imagine how I was going to portray this theme. It is Mythbusters. The challenge was to scrap a page using Greek or Architectural influences. I sure hope that this one fits the bill......I used a greek ionic column to "rest" my mother's photo on. The photo was one of my Mother's High School senior portraits.

There were 6 layout challenges in total, plus a few games.</div><div><br /></div><div>American Idol Challenge was to use the Idol colors, red white and blue. The perfect opportunity to scrap this picture of John's dad, taken about 1935, when he was in the Coldstream Guards, doing duty at the Tower of London. While I was scrapping this picture I decided to do a little research on the uniform his dad is wearing. The Coldstream Guards jacket has gold buttons, in pairs. Other guards have their buttons single file. Another way to differentiate between the regiments is by the color of the plume on the bearskin hat, as well as the side the plume is on....who knew all these things were clues to identifying regiments?</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ekShFA4l2NU/Tcddlybqf6I/AAAAAAAAAyE/_PrUZGhzMLI/s200/ALBERT%2BTOWER%2BOF%2BLONDON.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604551165060218786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 196px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Next up, Cupcake Wars. To use a cupcake on your page, and the word "sweet" in the title or journaling.

The challenge was to raise 6 items up off the page. I thought that since my sweet godchild is going to be getting married this summer, I better catch up on getting some of her pictures scrapped.....this was her First Communion. Isn't she sweet??</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0koaoxO-1A/TcddmLaY3nI/AAAAAAAAAyc/uvgO1oLlRx4/s200/GAIL%2BFIRST%2BCOMMUNION.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604551171765755506" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 195px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Only 2 more layouts to go for my NSD challenges, guess they will have to wait till tomorrow.....think I am all scrapped out for today!!!

I stamped 2 different A Muse fish and the scallop shell, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out....added a little pearl to the scallop shell and a little bling to the fish eyes and then used foam tape to adhere them to the card to give them a little 3D effect.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wXGAA6f5NSA/S-71IkWszXI/AAAAAAAAAuE/PdId_02XW80/s1600/FISHY+HELLO.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wXGAA6f5NSA/S-71IkWszXI/AAAAAAAAAuE/PdId_02XW80/s200/FISHY+HELLO.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471580124848377202" border="0" /></a> adhered the playing card to a kraft colored cardstock card , tied an a muse polka dot sheer ribbon around it and then stamped hello in Versafine black ink.
