April Calendar Layout Brian and bowling.

Confession, I totally cut myself out of the picture. My face was spread out because of the way that I was standing and leaning forward on my bag. You can see me. My arm is in a blue shirt on the right side. 

Anyway, the bowling patterned paper is by Karen Foster. The other patterned paper is the Harley Davidson paper by EK Success. I liked the flames in the paper because they matched the blue bowling shirts. The title is a sticker by Stickibilities. The side border is made up of bowling ball stickers by Scrappin Sports and More, SMR Stickers, and someone else. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for looking and listening. 

My husband took the picture of my brother because he is drinking coffee out of an Old Kent Bank cup at a bowling alley around the corner from the house we grew up  My Mom worked for OKB for 30+ years. 

It hasn’t been called OKB in over 20 years. So for them to have the coffee cup with the bank’s logo on it was enough for my husband to take a picture of my brother with the cup he stole from the bowling alley for sentimental reasons. LOL.

August calendar layouts Family in yellow

These are almost the same layouts but were in calendars for different people. The main patterned paper is by Die Cuts with a View and the small piece is by Provo Craft. There’s a green star with a heart inside it and I can’t remember where those came from. The heart looks like a brad. The title word “Family” is a Cricut cut and it is adhered to two silver circles that are a circle punch by Creative Memories. The silver paper is by Creative Memories. The heart is a sticker by Sticko/EK Success.

The patterned paper is by My Mind’s Eye. I used my Cricut to make the title. The wreath is a sticker by EK Success. I covered it with Modge Podge to seal in the glitter from shedding. I added a gold circle to the center of the wreath and adhered the word “in” to it. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Manly Monday graduation cards

Details/Products: The stars tape is by Scotch, the black cardstock from Scrapbook Made Simple, and the cap and diploma are puffy stickers by Paper House Productions. The sentiment is cut out with my Cricut and adhered to vellum. I adhered the vellum to a blue cardstock, which made the vellum look blue. I popped up the sentiment with white foam squares. The two corners were rounded with a CM corner rounder.

Details on my second card: Dry embossing folder by Darice. I inked it with distress ink. I adhered the sentiment to colored vellum that didn't match the school colors. So I colored the back of the vellum with a blue Copic marker before running it through my sticker maker by Xyron. The graduation cap is a sticker by Jolee's Boutique by EK Success. Thanks for looking.

Gabe’s Outdoor Adventures with Grandpa Layout

Here’s another layout in my nephew's scrapbook. The Left side: Patterned paper by Me and My Big Ideas and The Paper Loft. Tags are by Chatter Box. Hat and shovel stickers by Creative Memories and the word stickers are by 

Patterned paper by Stampin Up and Tim Holtz. Number stamps by Close to my Heart. Ink by Hero Arts. Letter stickers by Making Memories. The pine tree embellishments are by Jolee's Boutique-EK Success. The ephemera title thing is sooo old. I love to use old stash and like it when it doesn't look like an old stash. 

Tag Question-

Should I set the hole with an eyelet?

Should I put some jute or twine in the holes?

Tags are a grey area for me. I never know what to do to the top.

The stitching on them is a really nice touch. Shout out to Chatterbox if they are still around.

September Calendar Layout Surprise party pictures

Guessing game on this calendar layout. It was for a 2019 calendar.
The stamps on the previous ATC in the center are by Lawn Fawn ABCs and I'm not sure about the grass.

The stickers are by Creative Memories (Apples) and EK Success (Acorn)

The die-cut border punch is by Martha Stewart

The background patterned paper is by We R Memory Keepers (That's a guess)

It's been a while since I did this layout. So I'm not exactly sure but I think these leaves were on a cake and my husband took the back off of them for me to use. I think the leaves started out like the one on the left and ended up like the picture below.

I think I tried to heat emboss and ended up with glossy accents over the top.
