Saturday when my kids are home...weird...I have officially lost track of what day it is now that my kids have been off from school for over a week. :)
I am honored to host a challenge at Method Playground this month. The challenge is to make a layout and use stamps to create a pattern. Prizes will be awarded and I hope you will play along.
I have had some very sweet people point out the spelling of "asta la vista" on my Paradise Found stamp set and that it should possibly read "hasta la vista" instead, and I truly appreciate them looking out for me. I was aware of the different spellings when I was drawing this set, so I did some research. I found that when I searched the asta la vista Americanized version, over 200,000 results came up. So, we decided that it was an easier read and went with that.
So, yesterday was the official release day for Scrapblocks™ and I have a couple more projects to share using some of them. Have I mentioned how much I love them? well, I do...a lot! :) **Double CHF Club Points on Scrapblocks today only**
Here is my Dad, son and daughter a couple of years ago. This is the layout sample that I created for the Method Playgound challenge. I used the Fine Houndstooth, Pin Dot and Vintage Ledger Scrapblocks ™. American Crafts ribbon, Core'dinations cardstock, Making Memories stickers, SEI buttons, Sakura pen and Clearsnap inks.
*Tip I used the extra stamped houndstooth paper to create flower accents. I used a flower punch and cutting them down to make straight edged flowers*
I used the Writing paper Scrapblock™ on this school gift bag along with Making The Grade stamp set. Stazon and Clearsnap inks and I am not sure who makes that yummy ribbon...so sorry :)
*Tip use brown as a main color and add a pop of color*
*FF MTV first aired at 12:01 am on August 1, 1981. The first video was "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Bugles* (yup, I remember that...do you?)
