Saturday, March 27, 2010
As soon as I saw KariQ's Junkyard Charm and all those wonderful earth tones and elements, I knew I'd get a lot of use out of it for my poochies. So here are a couple of poochie layouts for you :)
Lovey also uses Doodled Edges by Kris Myers and Molly uses the FUN-damentals Squiggly Gandhi quotes by Kris Myers.

Circus in a Box & Wavy Edges Journaling Pieces
Earth's Reflections, new layout
Watch out world, I am in a scrapping kind of mood! And the beauty of it is I learned a new technique making this one. Now this may be old news to some of you, but I figured this out on my own just playing around. Since I dont do much scrapping and mostly designing, I got quite the kick out of this. I learned how to put my journaling in on a hand drawn path. Pretty cool huh...no more spaces, and tabs on every line to get around my product, I just hand drew the path with my path tool (under shapes in PS). It was pretty cool. It made journaling so much easier. Especially for these big stories. :o)
It Reads:
This story is so funny to me that I wouldnt dream of not scrapping about it.
So today our entire family was outside doing yardwork on this beautiful day. Cheyenne and I were cleaning out a flower bed, when I say to Cheyenne “Chey, look its a potatoe bug” she says to me “what is a potatoe bug?” She is so excited about this new animal that she runs around telling & showing the whole neighborhood. Sage of course wants to know what Cheyenne is doing & after hearing about it says “Hey, let me see that potatoe bug. I want to study it.”
So he runs inside & grabs his microscope & puts the potatoe in the canister & starts looking at. Cheyenne decides that she has had enough & says, “ok you’ve studied it, now its time to return it to it’s natural habitat.” Sage says “no, we need to keep it in here and study it some more.” She says “ No, you are going to kill it, keeping it in there, it needs to go back home to its family!” This arguement continues for a few minutes, until Cheyenne is a complete wreck!
Now, this whole time I am hearing this, I am laughing inside. Because they are 8 and 5. How could they be having this conversation?
Luckily, with a little coaching from mom, they agreed they were going to return it to its natural habitat and study it there, as long as mom promised to help.

Let's Play Dominoes!
I'm Brook and I am your host for Challenge Number Four.
I know you have seen those cute domino pendants at the craft show and on ebay or etsy. They are so easy for the digital scrapper to make. I want to challenge you this week to try making your own.
There are several ways to do this. I'm going to share with you the easiest way possible.
You need: A domino, a bead, maybe adhesive, mod-podge or spray sealer, and jewelry or plastic glue.
1. Dominoes are 1 x 2". So make a mini layout that is .75 x 1.75". I just print them on normal paper so they lay flatter on my domino. Then cut out.
2. I just use any kind of scrapbooking adhesive on the mini picture and stick to the domino. (You can use the mod-podge to adhere the picture but let it dry before the next step.)
3. Then seal with the spray or mod-podge.
4. Next I place the clear bead on the top with jewelry or plastic glue. I like Beacon 375 but any will do.
If you've seen some other tutorials, they talk about letting the dominoes soak in bleach or using alcohol to take off the finish of the domino. I don't think it is necessary for this project. If you like doing this and want to stamp or use alcohol inks then you will need to remove the coating.
You can also make your domino a little dressier by using a silver bail that you find at the craft store. The dominoes can be horizontal or vertical.
I made 30 of these for a friends party and they were so easy to make. Here is one that I made for me. This took me less than 30 minutes to make.
I used Kris' "Circus in a Box" kit. If you win this challenge, your prize will be "Circus in a Box" so you can use this kit to make some fun pendants of your own. Anyone who participates will get a mini kit containing the eight items that I included on my pendant. If you use one of Kari or Kris' kits, you will get a little extra reward! ;)
Post the links to your pendants here. You have until Friday 26th at 12:00 pm CST. Have fun!
