Sailing Away Again

It is only 5 days shy of hitting the month mark since my last post! Well, it has been about that long since I have been in my scrap room too!

Here is the last thing I worked on! I made this framed piece with my Aunt and Uncle in mind. They had some damage to their sailboat during Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully all was repairable! Ever since I seen the papers I used and heard about my Uncle working on the sailboat. I knew I wanted to create something while he was getting ready to set sail, again!


I used Close To My Heart - Tommy Workshop on the Go, CTMH Inks - Cranberry, Honey, Outdoor Denim and Desert Sand, Tommy Assortment, Tommy Complements, Outdoor Denim Chevron Ribbon, Outdoor Denim Embossing Powder, Cranberry Twine, White Daisy Pigment Ink and some unknown named cranberry-like embossing powder.

Here is the Tag I created using the instructions from the Workshop on the Go. Only I stamped image 3 (saying) with Versamark watermark stamp pad added Outdoor Denim Embossing Powder on and setting it with the heat gun! Added the Cranberry Twine to the top instead of ribbon.


Using the unknown cranberry-like color embossing powder and the Tommy Workshop on the Go Stamp image 2 (flag banner). I used the same idea as the Workshop instructions BUT heat embossed the image across the top of the page. Used the Outdoor Denim Chevron Ribbon across the middle and secured the matching Assortment flags. I created an additional flag of my own using a toothpick and one of the Tommy Complements Stickers. 


 Using the White Daisy Pigment ink I stamped the Sailboat and after it dried outlined the mast and top rail of the boat with Silver gel pen.


Taking a cue from the Workshop on the Go Instructions. I cut out the squares using Tommy Papers and my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge making my <Square5> smaller to suit my layout (1 1/2"). Edge Distressed and Inked them up. Placed the Tommy Assortment pieces and Complements Stickers.


Here is the completed page attached to the backing of the framed shadowbox. Edge Distressing all around the sides. Used the top paper accent strip from the Tommy papers just below the Outdoor Denim Chevron Ribbon.  


The Framed Gift Ready to go!

Found the Car & City Border...I think it was on Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge

Enter the Cape Crusader!


The Cape Crusader left to save the city. The class picture found it's way to finally be scrapped.
Becky's Nickname since she was a Baby. When she was Student of the Week in Kindergarten. I had to write a letter about her to share with the class. The class enjoyed the story about her nickname.

Class Pic


Meanwhile Back at the Farm there's hay to be cut and dried.
I needed to finish another page to go with a completed page I did awhile back. 
My Liftateers, Year 4 - Week #31, but never posted it yet....Hmmm...slacking here.
Here is my Liftateers - Week #31

Here some bits to the next page I created at the retreat. Using the CTMH - Just for Boys stamps.
             

Need to add some more stamping maybe that tractor on the first page or a tag. Than it will be finished.

I am still working on farm pages...That's it for Friday!

 A bit of what I started with on Saturday.
Still on the farm. On to turning the hay.
Got to put my newest purchase to use. Close To My Heart Stitching Guide.

Some felt accents and stamping.

Paired up some circle medallions punched with a borrowed circle punch from Maria and a piece of paper given to me from a newbie to the Retreat. 

Page 1 of two-page spread

Next page...
More felt accents and pre-printed chipboard pieces. I added the 100% stamped image from Just for Boys stamp set.
  
Stamped sub-title "Kindred Spirits" from Keyboard Alpha Stamp set and used a Rub-on.

Page 2 Poppy and Luke - the Kindred Spirits

It is a blurry shot and the color looks off..But you get the idea.

That's it for now!

Card Lifters caught up this past weekend at the retreat

Week #16

Week #21 
I made but was not impressed with. 

I was not focused after hearing that our Skipper (Soft-coat Wheaten Terrier) was missing all day. Thankfully I only had an hour and a half funk, because Hubby called He was found and brought to a Shelter. Since we still had his collar with the USA contact info. and his Rabies tag. Thankfully a post from the shelter and other neighbors daughters search lead us to him. 

So, I Cut & Pasted his posting and will be making him...his own page about "Skipper's Retreat"

Week #23
Still needs the Birthday sentiments added to the side. I forgot to pack some Birthday stamps.

Here is the updated pic after I add that stamp.


Week # 24
