If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!
Phil brought home a virtual reality headset and we all “swam with the sharks.” It was a cool, immersive experience. The really fun part was watching each other’s reactions to the images.
Papers and die cuts from Jillibean Soup’s Spicy Social Soup collection were perfect for these photos. I designed and cut the title with my Cricut.
My husband lived in Michigan until the age of 12, when his mom moved the family to the mountains of North Carolina. In these photos, circa 1979, Matt is building and populating dirt castles in their new (huge) front yard in NC. What a cutie!
I created this page for the “This or That” Paper Issues spring crop challenge. This required the use of one or the other, but not both of each pair below:
1. all cardstock or all patterned paper; 2. 4 of the same size circle or 4 of the same size rectangles; 3. silver or gold; 4. hand journaling or typed journaling; 5. enamels or flair, 6. ephemera or chipboard; 7. ribbon or twine; 8. matted photo or frame; 9. 3 photos or 2 photos; 10. sun or camera
I used papers from Bo Bunny, Jillibean Soup, and DCWV and created the title on my Silhouette.
In 1972 my brother and I were fortunate to have had Mom as our pre-school/kindergarten teacher! She held class in our basement and taught the two of us and several of her friends’ children who were all of the same age. We always had parties for the various holidays throughout the year, and this photo from our Halloween party shows Phil as Superman, Andrea as Little Bo Peep, and me as Tinkerbell. Squee, so cute!
I used several patterns from the Jillibean Soup Witches Brew 6×6 paper pad to create my “quilt” design, then I backed it all with the owl and moon patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye. I stamped the bats (from a Recollections Halloween stamp set) over the moon and added google eyes to the title.
Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our first challenge of August! Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Lindy’s Stamp Gang and Charms Creations.
Phil does Web project work for UNC’s Information Technology Services, and this year he has taken on a specialization in Web accessibility. He loves talking about what he’s learning almost as much as he loves learning it, so he was thrilled to be asked to speak at July’s Freaky Friday ITS update meeting.
Seated next to him in the right-hand photo are Kate and Kim. Phil’s friend, Kelly, took the photos.
Everything on my page came from the Spicy Social Soup collection by Jillibean Soup. I designed and cut the title on my Silhouette.
Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of January. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Creative Embellishments and Wycinanka.
I was barely three when my bro turned two, so I was obviously as excited as (or more than) he was about the blowing out of the candles! Today is Phil’s 49th birthday, so happy birthday, Philly. I love you to a trillion skies and wish I could be there to help you with the candles this year.
I used products from an older Jillibean Soup birthday collection called Spotted Owl Soup. I created the title and the calendar header with my Silhouette.
