BSides Austin: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

June 15, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 3 Comments

BSides Austin is a 4-photo scrapbook layout based on the June 15, 2016 sketch from Stuck?! Sketches.

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of June! Grab the sketch and play along for a $20 gift certificate from Evalicious or two large pieces of chipboard from ScrapMatts.

The story

We did it! Matt and I took over the planning of the security BSides conference, and we made it bigger and better than ever. We had about 400 attendees, standing room only for the keynote speech, and a Dual Core show to round out the two days. I’m not gonna lie—it was hard work. But I’m proud of how we worked together to make it great. Now we have to decide whether to organize it again next year. Ugh!

Photos, L-R:

  1. Matt in front of the 400 attendees giving the opening address
  2. Standing room only for the keynote (Ed Skoudis)
  3. The registration desk during some down time
  4. Dual Core singing us home

Product/technique notes

I used patterned papers from Echo Park’s All About a Boy collection. The two pieces of flair are from different BasicGrey collections (Aurora and Fact & Fiction). And I traced the logo for the conference and cut it with my Silhouette for the title.

Derbycon 2015: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

January 15, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 1 Comment

This scrapbook page is based on the January 15, 2016, Stuck?! Sketches sketch and uses papers from the BasicGrey Second City collection.

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of 2016. Grab the sketch and play along for some great prizes from Creative Embellishments and Scrapmatts.

Stuck Sketches January 15 2016

Last September my husband, Matt, attended a security conference in Louisville, Kentucky. He has been studying information security pretty intensely for a few years, and he had heard frequently that if you could go to only one con all year it should be Derbycon. It seems he drank the kool-aid because he came back and declared it the one con to rule them all.

The photos are 1) one of the many presentations, 2) crowds milling about at the convention center (with Matt’s friend, Griff, coming up the escalator), 3) part of the crowd at the Dwight Yoakam concert, and 4) a street in downtown Louisville.

Product/technique notes

I used products from BasicGrey’s Second City 6×6 paper pad, chipboard stickers, and alphas.

Wildflowers

May 31, 2015 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 4 Comments

This scrapbook layout uses the Basic Grey Herbs and Honey collection.

I love wildflowers. I took these photos along the long and winding path we had to walk from the parking lot into Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, Texas. This was back in May 2012 on the day that Matt (and thousands of others) participated in the Spartan Sprint obstacle race. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful setting…and a brutal event.

Product/technique notes

I created this page using the Basic Grey “Herbs and Honey” 6×6 paper pad and followed this My Scraps and More sketch:

Who rescued whom?

WhoRescuedWhom_Daquila-Pardo

We rescued our beloved Oliver from a busy highway in 2002. He was a tiny kitten and sorely needed our help. But ever since whisking him out of harm’s way and bringing him home to live with us, we are the ones who have needed him. He has made us more loving people and brought us such great joy. Apparently, Oliver Longfellow Daquila-Pardo, you have rescued us.

Product/technique notes

All the Bo Bunny “Star-Crossed” products I used to create this layout came from the Back Porch Memories February kit (thank you to BPM for allowing me to be a part of their design team through March). I designed the title and cut it with my Silhouette Cameo and hand stitched across the two pages to mimic the stitching and banners on the journaling card.

Note: I’m submitting this to the Paper Issues “Prints Charming Beautiful Papers” link party.

College coterie

CollegeCoterie_Daquila-Pardo

All photos taken on the beautiful Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio, from 1985-89.

I had an absolutely wonderful group of friends during college. Most of them I made during the first quarter of my first year at Ohio University (1985/86) and remained close to throughout our four years. These guys made my college experience so much more fun (they were a funny bunch) and bearable (you know even the best college years have low points), and I love each of them. Just about every one of my college memories includes one or more of these sweet, smart, loyal friends.

  • top left: Micki McNiece, Phil Daquila, Jim Conlan (freshman year, winter quarter on Phil’s birthday)
  • top right: Teng Chek Cheong, Jim Conlan, Sandy Daquila (Mom visiting for Mother’s Weekend), Phil Daquila (senior year, spring quarter)
  • center: Joe Brown, Rich Saxby (freshman year, spring quarter as we packed up to head home for the summer)
  • bottom: Rich Ozmun, Teng Chek Cheong, Tim Schooley, Jerry Hirsch, me (senior year, spring quarter)

Product/technique notes

I followed the sketch below for my layout and will be entering it into the Page Drafts “Love is everywhere 2014 Valentines release” sketch challenge. The papers are mainly from Jillibean Soup’s “Grandma’s Lima Bean Soup” collection. I designed the title and cut that and the swirls on my Cameo. And I thought the vintage buttons were a nice touch with the quote about antiques.
