Mari's 1st Birthday


I used one of Paula Kesselring's wooden boxes to showcase photos from Mari's birthday party and some of her favorite things. I took pictures of her bear, doll, shoe, and favorite blanket and extracted them to place in the boxes. The background papers are my own design.

Medora, the Musical


This is done with all my own photos...even the cowboy. He was riding on the hill behind the stage just before the performance. I turned him into a silhouette and then extracted the silhouette from the photo. The finale photo is overlaid on Paula Kesselring's real wood background. The title, page edging, and cowboy sillouette have her wood burning style applied. I love the old time western feeling that it adds to the LO.

Be Mine!


I used the Club Scrap Chocolate Shoppe kit and stamp. I fringed some of the dark brown paper, staples it on and glittered the staple. Be Mine is stamped on an acrylic tile.

Aloha


Scattering dad's ashes off Langley Marina. I overlaid the floating lei photo on some textured background paper, the photos were 'edged' in coconut brown with an Atomic Cupcake action, the paper strip was 'torn' with an Atomic Cupcake action. Font: RNS Camelia. Software: PS3

Benchmarks

It seemed that everywhere we went, they had to find a bench to sit on...LOL!
I used the Club Scrap Fossils kit on this one. I made the faux tiles using many coats of clear embossing powder. The file folder is actually a small booklet with extra photos in it.

Make it Mike's!


I used papers and elements from both the Club Scrap Games and Culinary kits on this fun LO. We were collecting Mike's Light Hard Lemonade bottle tops with words inside (it was a game promotion). I used the real caps and bottle labels and the wire mesh from the Culinary kit.
