Calling All Hereos Birthday - FMS200 - FM222

It has been a very long time since I have been in the craft room and created anything. Life has completely taken over and I am finding it hard to get into the craft room.

I needed to get some crafting therapy so today I decided to see what challenges were out there and what I could come up with. 

I found two challenges and instantly I had an idea for a card. 

Thank you Freshly Made Sketches and The Friday Mashup for your inspiration!

This sketch was simple but it was perfect!

The challenge at Friday Mashup was to create a Birthday card using any technique, I chose to do a reflection technique using vellum as well as a water-colour background.

Here's what I came up with:

Stampset: Calling All Heroes and a Paper Pumpkin Stamp

Paper: Basic Black, Shimmery White, Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Vellum

Ink: Versa Mark, Archival Black, Lost Lagoon
Markers: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight 

Accessories: White Embossing Powder

July's My Paper Pumpkin Party Banner Alternative Scrapbook Layout

Good Morning!

I was finally able to get some photos of the scrapbook layout I made during my "Scrap n Skype" night with my sister and mother. The photos are a little dark, but with the sun coming up so late and going down so early I think this is as good as it is going to get.

I really like this kit as a scrapbook page. For me, it will be more useful than using the kit as cake toppers.

The page on the left will have 4-3"X3" photos or one large 6.25"X6.25" photo (the mat is 6.5"X6.5"). The other mat on the left page will have 2-3X4 photos (the mat is 3.5"X8.75".

The page on the right will have 2-6"X4" photos (the mats are 6.5"X4.5") and one photo 3.5"X5.5" (the mat is 4"X6".

You may be wondering about the chevron ribbon. You are right, there is no Tangerine Tango chevron ribbon. I used Calypso Coral, which seemed to match fairly well.Once I get some photos in I may decorate the page a little more with some buttons or circles of different colors but first I need pictures.

Kit: July's My Paper Pumkin Kit
