Stop & smell the roses: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

May 15, 2017 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 1 Comment

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of May! Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Charms Creations and Wycinanka.

The story

I’m not that good at taking selfies, obviously. But every so often I try anyway. This is one I took in our back yard in March 2015, and I just thought it would be great to use it to remind myself to slow down and take note of the good stuff in life.

Product/technique notes

The background paper I used is from Jillibean Soup, and the other patterns are from Pink Paislee’s Take Me Away 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the rose with the Hampton Arts layering roses set. And the bird die cut is from Dear Lizzy.

Move-in day

August 30, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 6 Comments

Move-in day

We got married in October 1997 and bought our first home in August 1998. At the very same time, Mom and Dad decided to move to a different neighborhood within the same town. We ended up buying our houses within a mile of each other, and I think we even moved in within the same week. What an exciting and tiring time!

In this photo, Matt’s older brother, Tom, is helping us unload more stuff at our new house. My brother, Phil, was also helping and probably took this shot.

Product/technique notes

I followed the Creative Scrappers sketch below and used patterned papers from Pink Paislee’s Hometown Summer 6×6 pack and October Afternoon’s Campire 8×8 pad. They’re both older collections, and I love how well they worked together. I created the background grid of pinked-edged circles and cut it on my Silhouette.

The story

My paternal grandfather spent 77 years as a barber. So, of course, he cut all 12 of the grandchildren’s hair when we were little. My cousin, Mike, is in the barber’s chair in Papa’s shop in this darling 1966 photo.

Product/technique notes

I used patterned papers from Pink Paislee’s Pen Pals collection for this page, mostly because of the red-, white- and blue-striped paper that reminded me of a barber’s pole. I also used my Silhouette to create the barber’s pole and the title.

I’m losing my sole

April 25, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo Leave a Comment

I'm losing my sole is a one-photo scrapbook page that uses supplies from Pebbles and Pink Paislee.

I got up on a rainy Wednesday morning in February to attend the monthly Catholic Business Network meeting. I parked my car, grabbed my purse, and started walking across the parking lot. And I walked right OFF my left shoe. I literally stepped off the sole of my shoe! I picked it up and hobbled into the meeting. Then I felt the sole of my right shoe crumble, too.

It was just like in Joe Versus the Volcano.

DeDe: Hi Joe, what’s with the shoe?
Joe Banks: I’m losing my sole.
DeDe: Yeah.

Product/technique notes

I used products from Pebbles Garden Party collection and Pink Paislee’s Hello Sunshine 6×6 pad, plus die cuts from Hello Sunshine. I designed and cut the title on my Silhouette Cameo.

Stuck?! Sketches September 15, 2015

On the morning of my mom’s knee replacement surgery this August, the three of us (Mom and brother, Phil) did a little impromptu photo shoot before heading to the hospital. I just wanted to use these photos to reflect for a moment on how precious and beautiful life is.

Product/technique notes

The patterned papers are from the Pink Paislee Pen Pals collection, and the 3×4 cards are from We R Memory Keepers. I hand-stitched the circles and added washi tape across the bottom.
