Stamp A Memory June Challenge: a special moment

Hi!

This month the challenge at Stamp A Memory is to use buttons as the main embellishment.  Now, I'm an embellishment hoarder, as I'm sure many of you are, so this challenge was perfect as a push for me to start digging into that stash of buttons hiding in my drawer.


I took the photo on Rob's mobile phone when we were away visiting family a couple of weeks ago.  I just happened to 'catch' Ada and her cousin Zoe lying on Zoe's bed reading a book together.  Both girls love reading, so I used a stamp I purchased at Convention as a little subtitle.  I only used part of the image, but the part I used reads: Share what you love.  I thought it was the perfect little touch for the layout.  I used the flap section of a Scallop Envelope to stamp it on.


The button card stamp from the Sew Suite set was the perfect compliment to the challenge.  I used one a a button card and the other 2 as journalling spots.

I hope you're inspired to enter the June Challenge.  Why don't you pop on over to the Stamp A Memory blog to see what the other girls have come up with?  I'm sure it will be a feast for your eyes!

Layout 32: Medal

Hi!

Hmm, I've been a little slack on the blogging front lately.  It's just been one of those weeks.  I've also been slack in keeping up with my scrapping.  I wanted to complete 100 layouts this year, and this layout is only number 32.  Given that it's the end of the first week of June I should be roughly up to layout number 44.  Still totally do-able, but I need to get cracking a little!  I have a few more layouts up my sleeve ready to show you this week, including two for the Stamp A Memory blog.  You'll have to come back on Monday for the first of those and Wednesday for the second.  Anyway...

Today's layout is one I completed before I went off to Convention.  The photos were taken at Alex and Ada's Little Athletics Presentation Day.


They were both pretty excited to be awarded a medal and certificate for their efforts during the season.  I highlighted the title 'medal' by using my Soft Suede Marker to edge each of the letters.  It provides a cleaner line than sponging.  Just ignore the little oopsie on the letter a!


One of my favourite ways to use the Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel is to roll a section and then cut out the individual stars and use them as embellishments.

Stamps: Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel
Ink: Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake
DSP/Cardstock: Elegant Soiree DSP, Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede
Other: Big Shot, Timeless Type Alphabet Dies, Hearts and Brackets Die, Paper Snips, Sponge Daubers, Spiral Border Punch

Catch you later,
