Evidence of a Fun, Scrappy Weekend...

The new song is up at Scrapping the Music! It's "What I Like About You" by The Romantics. This song was my absolute favorite for a short time back in the day - I was going to bars and parties, and loved to dress in skinny ties and black jeans. Yes, indeed it brings me back. HA. When I saw the current challenge at BASB, which is to scrap a friendship that came about because of this hobby - I figured this song was the perfect opportunity! Here's what I came up with...
The paper I used was actually a very muted carnation pink with dark brown shading around the edges (Basic Grey I think), but I did a color wash over it with pink and orange to brighten it up. On the bottom I glued some fabulous fabric that I got from my secret sister Andrea. Other materials used include gesso for the handpainted title, ribbon, some Jenni Bowlin black vintage star paper (I swear a little bit of that stuff finishes ANY layout off nicely!) and black and white sharpies.

This next one was another one done with the June Studio Calico kit, which I am LOVING by the way. It is also my second layout for the Scraplifting game over at SiSTV this past weekend. The layout I was assigned to lift is called "Fly" and it's a beautiful digi done by Shadesofbliss. You can see it along with all the info about the game right here. Anyhoo, the layout subject matter was brought about by a challenge on Elizabeth Kartchner's blog to take a photo of whatever you were doing on 07/08/09 @ 10:11:12. Kinda fun! Here's what I came up with...
Along with the SC kit, I used pink Bubblegum Glimmer Mist, Terracotta Adirondack Spray Ink, More of the fab Jenni Bowlin paper, and colored pencils. The journaling is about getting ready to get my annual mammogram - click for more details. :0)

Thanks to everyone who referred me to various kit clubs! I appreciate it so much, and I checked into each and every one of them! They all looked wonderful - each one with a different personality of sorts! If I had the money I would most certainly buy one of each!!! Now wouldn't that be a festival of scrappy supplies!

Anyhoo, I thought about it all weekend, and then suddenly, intuitively, I knew what I wanted to do - without a doubt! I subscribed to Studio Calico! I am so excited about it! After working with their kits this weekend I was really sold! It was so much fun - they are packed full of goodies, colorful and very inspiring! I like how they include exclusive patterned papers and stamps with each kit too - that is wayyyyy cool.

So, now it's the wee hours of Monday morning, and it's time to catch some zzzzzzz's. Here's wishing you a Marvelous Monday! Don't forget to come on over to Scrapping The Music and play along with us - we'd love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by my friends!
