Stampin' In Alaska

This week's Art Impressions Challenge: Anything Goes - Masculine was the perfect inspiration to create this masculine scrapbooking page of my husband and his first experience on a paddle board. I have combined various papers and stickers with three fun Art Impressions images: Surfer Dude Surfer Surfs Up! sentiment   The images were heat embossed with CTMH black and fussy cut then colored with copic markers.  A light chalking was added for the "sunburn". The layout inspiration is from  Sketch~N~Scrap Challenge #55 This was a lot of fun to put together and was really a quick project.  I'm so glad for the inspiration to get caught up on my much neglected scrapbooking projects! Thanks for stopping by!  I always enjoy reading your comments.

The week's seem to fly by and we are back to play along with Unity's Friends with Flair blog hop party. I made a promise to myself that I would scrapbook this year's vacation before  next year.  You smile, but pictures are still in  my drawer from our last two annual vacations! UGH! Unity kits and IttyBitty stamps have really inspired me to use more stamped images with my scrapbook layouts. Here's what I came up with this week. I can't believe how quickly it all went together! The following Unity stamp sets were used: Beautiful Place, Clear Head All day pass (to the beach) Epic Moments SMAK 6/13 Here's close up so you can see how beautifully the sun ray image from "Epic Moments" stamped on the Kraft: The sketch inspiration came from  Sketch~N~Scrap Challenge #52 : Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

This week's Paper Smooches SPARKS "Anything Goes" challenge was perfect timing for me as I needed a last minute  birthday card for one of the young men in my church. I created this card using the following Paper Smooches Stamps and dies: Sentiment Sampler Polaroid die Additional stamps were used from "Bear Hugs" The Kim Hughes Collection for Cornish Heritage Farms  and Wood Grain Backgrounder from CHF. The fun bear image was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. The Polaroid frame die was cut from card stock stamped with the Wood Grain.  The card base was distressed with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and a dauber. The sketch was provided by Sketch~N~Scrap I am submitting this card for the following challenges: Paper Smooches SPARKS: Anything Goes Simon Says Monday Challenge: D is for Distress Sketch~N~Scrap: Card Sketch #21 Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
