Logging....January's XOXO Scrapbooking DT Page

There's only two days left to get your page posted to have a chance to be next our next Guest Design Team Member!

This month's page Wendy gave us offers a great clean and simple layout that if you click on over to the blog...HERE. You can see how easy it can be changed up! There are some great takes on her original page!

Here is mine using three photos I had. My son has had a love of trucks since a baby. He got to experience having his Uncle and Poppy working on a logging truck in the yard one day.

I created my own woodgrain chipboard alphas using K&Company's freshpaint die-cut chipboard, Close To My Heart Weathered Backgrounds (wood grain) Stamp and Close To My Heart Cocoa Ink.

Using some scrap dark green and Martha Stewart's edge punch called Pine Forest created the bottom border. I had some wood grain embossed scraps from another project. After rounding the corners of each piece, edge distressing and inking with Cocoa I had some logs!

I found a image that looks a bit like a saw blade on my Cricut - Artbooking cartridge and cut out 2 layering them. Punched out a 3/4" black circle, punched the largest hole with my eyelet setter and used a Silver Metallic Sharpie to edge the center of the blade. Wrote NFLD (Newfoundland) and the date 8-11-2011 around the blade.

Here is Wendy's original page:

SO Jump over and check out the other lifts and get yours posted! I would love to see what you can create even if you do something after the January ends!!! Let me know in the comments, so I can see!!!

XOXO DT Page and Card for March

Over on XOXO Scrapbooking we have a lift challenge going for March using Kimmy's LO.
Click the link above to visit us!

Here is my LO, I used different sized papers and turned them to fit my photos and alphas. I started out by using Kimmy's LO as inspiration. Large title and sized alphas and working the page into four sections.

Got to scrap pictures from 2011 and use some more things in my stash!

Better shot of the metallic alphas.

Here is Kimmy's LO using those four sections.

Here is Kimmy's Card also:

My card I created using Kimmy's sketch and I just happened to come across a scooter while looking for a couple I was planning to cut out using Sweetheart Cricut cartridge.

Got to used those LOVE letters that were just waiting to be put to use!

Liftateers, Year 4 - Week #1

Here is my page from Week #1 of the Liftateers

I turned the lifted layout clockwise once for my design.

Inked up raw chipboard pieces and placed paper scraps under one for my title.

Bent up a straight pin embellishment and used my CM Jumbo Cutting Circle as a guide for my Bazzill In Stitch'z Template to make my stitched circle.
