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,
Tina
