Using Multiple Photos

It's Friday Photo Day at the "Sisterhood of Scrap"...todays challenge ...showcase some of our LOs that featured multiple photos.

It has been awhile since I have used multiple photos on a LO.

When I first started Scrapbooking,I began with a Heritage album,many photos could be found on most of my pages.

As I began to participate in online challenges ...I discovered new ways to add more photos and still have room for embellishment too.

What fun I had...moving away from just PP and photos with maybe a touch of Ribbon ...to making my own chipboard and embellishments.

Spending hours sorting and rearranging the layouts, getting all the elements to fit nicely and still be pleasing to the eye....now that was a challenge for me!

But I managed to learn the design technique ,very pleased with the outcome.

Adding embellishments to a multiple photo layout...adds so much more to help the pages tell there story.

Here are a few of my favorites that I created for different challenges.

Thanks for the reminder "Sisters" will have to give multiples a try again!

Sketch Challenge #1

All week the Sisters at the "Sisterhood of Scrap" have been posting some very creative sketches and Inpiration challenges in Celebration of World Card Day.

Having had a busy week on the homefront I was finally able to sit down and try my hand at a few of the challenges today.

I thought I would use some of my supplies that I had not used in some time.

Making friends again with some of my Stamps,embossing powders,Puffy Paints and watercolor pencils....good stuff !

There are 10 challenges posted at the SoS if you need a little push to get some of those holiday cards out of the way...head on over to the Sisters and see if you can find a little inspiration to give you a kickstart!

Sister Sketch Challenge

The new Sketch this week on the Sisterhoodof Scrap is a card Challenge..

Instead I used the sketch as inspiration for a CD holder for baby photos for my Mother...she is now twice a Great Grandmother for the first time ...both babies were born two weeks apart from each other,both girls!

I made my own template for the Cd holder and used leftover scraps to create the holder and flowers and small scraps of leftover pieces of ribbon.

If you need a little inspiration today head on over to see the Sisters,they always have something fun to inspire.

"SisterhoodofScrap" Fall Bog Challenge

I was not going to post all one sites Challenges on this Blog.
But have decided that I try to hold the concept of "Sisterhood" close in my own personal life,

so I will be posting all the challenges I do for this blog here.

I had come to an awaking,a couple years back that I was entering the fall of my life.
At first it was a strange realization, as I was changing,

so were the leaves on the trees around me.
Beautiful in it's bounty and glory...yet still sad,

as I knew that the days of winter, would soon be upon me.
I have always held a fondness for Autumn..this has helped me adjust to this new season in my life,I can relate to it.

This weeks Web Blog Challenge from the "Sisterhood of Scrap"

is to share our thoughts on fall,these are mine.

"If I Where a Color,What Would I Be"

Inspired by a past challenge on a board that no longer exists.
Music by Van Morrison

"Bag it Up Please"

The favorite fall fruit in my house are Macintosh Apples from NY.
A couple times in the season my Mother will send us down bags of Macs.
The crunch of the apple a good book and a rest on the hammock...perfect fall moment for me.

I store away the Paper Peck Bags that the apples come in as they are very sturdy and have good strong handles.
Pulled one out yesterday,inspired by a Members Challenge from ScrapGalaxy to alter a bag or can for Halloween.
I decided to make a bag to store my candy for the Trick or Treats this Halloween.

Located a cool mask found here and proceeded to cut it apart
brought out the Puffy paint,Card stock and glue and just had some good old fashioned fun.
I cut the mask apart and used Puffy Paint ,then painted in the lines with red dimensional paint.
I wanted something gruesome... for me Halloween is all about the Scary...my three sons are a big reason for that...Mums and Pumpkins are fine for me...but my boys always wanted the scary.
For a few pennies of paint and card stock you can add the Gruesome to your Halloween.

"Keep the Can"

I love the changing of the seasons,especially from summer to fall.
Something about the coolness in the air on a bright sunny day....just makes me want to play.

I decided today my crayons needed a home..I have had this small unused paint can around forever and figured today was as good as any to bring it to use.

I picked it up at a garage sale ages ago for a dime.

I was inspired by a challenge here posted by a DTM to play with School supplies...though it called for a lo...I chose to alter a project.
I found a crayon template here brought it down to size to fit my paint can.

With paints, ribbons, Cardstock, jute fiber and crayons,

some Gesso and Mudge Podge, I was on my way to a fun little project, in betweens load of laundry..(can't have to much fun).

So here is my little can for a dime and some old leftover supplies...before you kick the can to the curb....look it over you never know what you may come up with.
