Scrappin' Saturday: REC Center



This is another page in my book of me. This is the recreation center where I spent my early teen years ice skating and learning how to socialize. 

This page is embellished with a little squirrel and tree from Hampton Arts. (There is a park next to the Rec center, hence the squirrel and tree, in case you were wondering. The journaling covers that.) 

The REC Center words are painted in Espresso Adirondack Paints, and covered with Rock Candy Distress Paint. Not exactly what I thought it would turn out like, but I am happy with it none-the-less.  Close To My Heart paper.

Today I am at a scrapbook retreat in New Jersey -- I will have a whole new batch of pages to upload when I get home!
Hope your day is filled with creative endeavors!

Scrappin' Saturday: School Days



I started this feature on my blog -- Scrappin' Saturday -- where I would post a stamped scrapbook page once per week...and it lasted one whole week! Seriously, I could show you a billion pages..but for some reason, taking a good picture of them is beyond me. Bad pictures be damned, I will try to post more!

In any case, a few years ago one of my sisters drove around our childhood town of Cheektowaga NY and took pictures of some of our "landmarks." Since NONE of my 5 brothers or sisters still live in or anywhere near Buffalo, I decided to create my own little book about my childhood home, places I visited, memories of my family, etc. I haven't even told my family about this -- I am certain that my DH, my sons, and even some of my siblings would all think it  was lame. I don't care! Some day I will have grandchildren who will be interested, LOL. 

The stamps and paper used on this layout are from Close To My Heart. Thanks for stopping by today!

Scrappin' Saturday: Zoo Layout



Since I scrapbook as often as I can on Fridays, I am starting a new feature here: Scrappin' Saturdays. I hope to display a new scrapbook page each Saturday from the previous week (or at least, something new to you!). I hope you enjoy this new feature!

This week's layout (you may have to click on it to make it larger and to get more detail) was of Zoo pictures from Cape May this summer. The giraffe is stamped (a close-up is on the right) using Close To My Heart Stamps. I did use the torn frame technique (December 2008 Technique Junkie Newsletter) on one of the mats, too. In addition, the title uses crackle paint from Tim Holtz -- I love this stuff. I especially like that I used my woefully neglected fibers to spruce up the title along the edge of the Z and the two O's! Here is a close-up of that:
If you are so inclined, leave a comment and let me know whether you like this new feature!

Well, that's it for today -- thanks for sharing in my scrapbook adventures!
