For Big Picture Classes - Camp Scrap - a layout based on one of our instructor's, May Flaum.  Using SSZ April kit, Fancy Pants - Swagger.

Dad - early 1960s

This is for a challenge to "drip" on a layout.  You take paint or mist and drip it or flick it onto paper to give it the random splattered look.

This layout was done using the April SSZ kit - Fancy Pants Swagger plus some Kraft cardstock and rickrack from my stash and a PageMaps sketch.

Here is my Dad showing off his coins at a coin show in the early 1960s. 

Texas 1972

Based on a sketch by May Flaum and a challenge to use 6x6 papers, here is a single photo layout.  This is one of the few photos taken while were stationed in San Antonio, Texas in 1972. 

All product used is Authentique except:
Alpha - AC Thickers
Sunburst - K&Company
Ticket - Tim Holtz

Alaina 2012

Using CTMH Surf's Up kit again, this beautiful photo (taken by her grandmother) of my great-niece.

Jellyfish - 2013

Again using the CTMH Surf's Up kit - a 2 pager about jellyfish.  Mom and I just got back from a trip to Vancouver and while there we went to the Vancouver Aquarium.

I made the jellyfish embellishment myself.




Orr's Island, Maine - 1991

Using the CTMH Surf's Up WOTG kit, I did this two pager about a trip DH and did to Orr's Island, Maine in August, 1991. 



Sisters - 1979

My sister and I had these "professional" photos done back in 1979 at my apartment.  We didn't even dress up for them!

Using the CTMH Buzz and Bumble kit and an idea from the catalogue, I had to stamp and cut out all those flippin' hexagons by hand.  (don't know what I was thinking....) But I do think this turned out pretty good!

St. Mark's Basilica - 2006

Two more pages for my Italy trip album done....(will I EVER finish this album?)

Using CTMH Buzz and Bumble kit.

Look at how that big flower sticker matches the one in the mosaic photo next to it.  Incredible!



Carol turns 50 - 2005

At the CTMH WOTG in May, we used the Buzz and Bumble kit. 

This layout feature's photos taken at my sister's 50th birthday. 

Note: I had already done a layout that included photos of her cake and her kids and hubby.

Aunt Nora and Uncle Tom - 1948

I've been away, so it was nice to get back into scrapping again.....

For a DT challenge at ScrapShotz to use imperfect photos (I have TONS of thosse....)

This photo is a scan of a photo taken in 1948. I removed some of the obvious marks and bumped up the brightness a bit but that was all.

All product is Prima Marketing (from an older SSZ kit) plus some brads and twine from my stash.
