Crow About It

Here is a fun fall card using Close to My Heart paper and one of Darice's tin pins. Fall colors are my absolute fave to work with.

Card Sketch #152 by Lisa Hidy

I began by stamping the image and coloring it - matching the colors to those on the tin pin. A tin pin is essentially a metal shank button with a flat back. Once you color the image the tin pin is added and it fits perfectly giving a 3-D effect to the image.

An extra tin pin to show you what they look like.

A fun little note for this tin pin is that the crow had a green headband. I wanted the headband to match the red in the patterned paper, so I used an alcohol marker to change the headband to the perfect shade of red.

On the inside of the card, there is a little boo boo. When I started coloring the sunflowers, I checked the Copic markers that I used on the front of the card. I should have double checked, because I accidentally colored these sunflowers the same colors as the crow's beak. OOPS!

Ring Around the Rosie

Here is another layout from our camping trip to Jellystone Park. The kids were waiting for a train ride. My daughter was entertaining the kids by playing "Ring Around the Rosie".

When I first saw this sketch I was wondering what I could do with it. I just love these Stamps of Life "Squiggles", so I used them. I actually love squiggles so much that I have an iron one above my fireplace.

It is very hard to find Yogi Bear "stuff". I think he is a bit obsolete. I purchased a Yogi Coloring Book at the Jellystone gift shop. I colored with pencils and fussy cut this image - perfect for "Ring Around the Rosie".

One other thing that I liked about this sketch and layout was that it is going to look fabulous facing my last layout in the photo album. What do you think? It's kind of a co-inkidink (coincidence) since the sketch artists for these layouts are not the same.

Candy Bar BINGO

I have a feeling you are going to be seeing a ton of layouts from our June trip to Jellystone Park in Burleston, Texas. We took two of our grandchildren up with us in the RV. We did so many activities and had so much fun. I have 87 scrapbookable pictures. I hope to get them all on to pages.
The first thing we did after setting up the RV was head over to the Bear's Den to play Candy Bar BINGO. As you can see, my grandchildren rock at BINGO. Lucas won first and they said he could have 5 candy bars. He took all of the Skittles. I won next and gave my BINGO card to Ellie so she could get some treats too. She won 3 candy bars and took all Cookies 'n Cream Hershey bars.
Lucas purchased a Yogi Bear stuffy at the gift shop, so we took a pic of him posing with the BINGO cards.

I am using Lisa Hidy's sketch from Sketch N Scrap. I had so much fun with this layout.

Sketch #182 by Lisa Hidy

I went through all of my stash looking for some of those Tim Holtz BINGO pieces. I don't know if I have ever had any of those or not. If I did have them, I certainly don't have them any more. What I did find in my stash were some chipboard circles and stars.

I used white acrylic paint on the chipboard shapes. I used the Silhouette to cut orange circles and letters, which added to the shapes made BINGO pieces. I laid out the BINGO markers, "Candy Bar" letters, and stars on the Silhouette and made a tan and a green mat to pop them on.

Here you can see the 3 embellishments I made with the chipboard stars. I used chevron ribbon, smaller orange stars, and green flowers with clear gems in the centers.
