quickie but goodie layout

doing a quick post of another wedding scrap layout i did this past saturday early morning....
this one is of our 2 daughters, maiya & ashley.
the photo was taken on 10/24/2009.
so they pretty much look real different now.

anyway...

sharing is caring...

i used a coaster from somewhere i can't remember where from to use as a template for the circles.
then drew a couple of freeform circles in a couple of those circles.
dotted around a couple of circles too.
used some silver ink from stampcraft and clear stamps from7gypsies on top of my circles.
used the clear arrows in that set too.
i cut up the patterned papers by basic grey & colorbok using my cutter and my scissors on opposite sides of them
i kinda like that not so straight edge look.
i'll be using that technique again.
then the scraps from those, i adhered them above my photos.
can't waste anything right?
a few punched shapes here and there, stickles glitter glue, doodled border, and very little journaling finished it up.
i had fun doing this one because of all of the freeform stuff.
that's why i love scrapbooking...anything goes!

continuing my photo-a-day, project life, and life in general.

what's a bummer is my external drive went caput the other day and i freaked out a bit.
beeping sound and flickering light and not responding onto my laptop or any computer in the house.
but i know it'll get resolved.
it will.
it betta.
wish me luck and hope for the best.

thanks for stopping by!

where you at?

i got to do some freestylin' scrappin'.
no deadlines.
my own thang.
it's been awhile since i've done 1.

i recently came across this photo from a reunion we had back on 8.21.1992 we had in cali.
i had put almost all the reunion photos in an album.
me and my friends were going thru the album...
and this one wasn't exactly in place and fell out.
i said to myself oh! this one i gotta scrap!

so here it is:

and for the close-ups...

in this one, i used some leftover scraps and did a criss-cross pattern and adhered it as an accent.
pretty cool huh?

used punches, border punches, glitter glue, popped up the stars and added buttons and glitter on them, used some leftover die-cut silhouette circles, used the negatives as embellies from the border punches, spray inks, and more scraps.
and voila it all came together!
this was so much fun to do!

here's the rest of the deetz:

materials:  sassafras, jillibean soup, my mind's eye, maya road, basic grey, jesse james & co, ek success, fiskars, uniball signo, ranger, aleene's, therm o web, cricut, american crafts

freestylin' has always been my best work.
at least that's my opinion.
you want more you say?
don't worry there will be more of my freestylin' skillz to come!
lol....

my lil one is finally taking a nap on my lil boo'z chest.
but lil boo is getting hungry for breakfast...
so gotta go!

c-ya!
