Big Deal Winter Mini Album

 

Welcome to the Club Scrap Big Deal Collection blog hop! 

This Big Deal collection is great for all types of pictures.  I made an album using the Club Scrap concertina book project and added my winter family pictures to it.  The beautiful papers, cut aparts and great colors made the decoration simple.  I used the digital kit to mat my pictures and printed some additional embellishments like the face cards.

 

 

 

I have been playing with a lot of fun techniques and I was able to incorporate several into this book.

Here is a close up of my round Gelli plate printing using Big Deal stamps and the an embossed metal plate antiqued with Distress Paint from Tim Holtz.

 

 

Here are some die cut hexagons made with Gelatos and gesso using the Big Deal Stencil using the technique found here from Darlenes Designs.

 

I hope you have enjoyed all the inspiration from the blog hop this month.  Your next stop is with Janet and Dishing with Janet or you can return to Club Scrap Creates for the full list. 

Until next time,

Happy Creating,

Debby

OWH Card Bowl Enties

Welcome

Today I am working on cards for Operation Write Home's Card Bowl.  The challenge is to make three masculine cards for OWH using three different challenges this weekend.  

(1) Masculine Ode to the teams! - this card shows my support for the Seahawks by using there colors.  Growing up in Seattle I can hardly support any other team.  

(2) OWH sketch challenge #210 - Here is a card using similar supplies to the Seahawks card, but adding brads per the sketch. Again this uses the Club Scrap Graffiti Collection.

These cards uses supplies from the Club Scrap Graffiti collection.  The blue and green paper is a wonderful metallic finish paper. The card is a Z-fold where the right edge is on the inside.  The chalk look is using white embossing power and a white Prima fluid chalk inker.

(3) ODBD color challenge brown - Here is a card in brown and burgundy based on Retrosketches #100.  

(4) And I made an extra for the Retrosketches #100 challenge

For this card I used papers from the Prima Marketing All Star paper pack; stamps from Stampin' Up and Club Scrap; and Club Stamp Fibers.

These cards along with many others I make will go to OWH.  I hope you will join me in supporting OWH. They collect hand made cards (blank inside) to send to our soldiers, so they can keep in touch with their loved ones.

Happy Crafting,
