MOJO a GO-GO!

So I, too, have been a horrible blogger. However, here's some of the stuff I've been working on lately:

Valentine's Day. Favorite part is weaving the pink and grey patterned paper together. I feel that it really balances out the page. Sorry for the smooching. Close your eyes if your scared.



Three Generations. Three pretty cool ladies, if I may say so myself! Embossing the flowers over the whole layout really brings the pages together.



Easter. Somehow I managed to scrap TWENTY PICTURES on one two page spread! At least I was impressed. Here's two images. The first is the layout:



The second is a close up of the title. I masked it and then inked directly onto my already completed layout. Very bold, I know. Anyway...I then used some perfect pearl to make it really POP



Thanks for looking!

Typical.

It was such a sunny day today, so instead of just laying by the pool...I decided to wash my car. It desperately needed it. So I spend the last two hours washing it it and windexing the windows. Before I could bust out the vacuum, I heard some rumbling and there are some dark clouds in the distance. I guess I'll just wait for the rain now.... Just typical.

Chemistry

So I decided to co-host the June Challenges for MLPA. My co-host and I decided that we'd have two challenges a week, I'd take the Tuesday POST with the challenge deadline by Friday and midnight, and she's take the Saturday POST with the deadline by Monday at midnight.

Here's the before of the sketch I made for everyone to use as inspiration. The only rule was that there had to be stripes on the page.



And now here's my creation! There's actually a second page that has a little bit of journaling on it. The paper is Junkitz, with Club Scrap science overlays. I thought that the title was clever, considering H is a chemist.

That's about all I've got for now, thanks for looking!

Recipe Card

So because I'm such the little joiner now, I decided to particpate in a "swap" for MLPA. This swap's topic was Appetizers, and I used mom's de-li-si-o-so artichoke dip. The picture's a little crooked. All the papers are inked to basically look like an artichoke's colors. A little silver star brad to hold the papers together. But my FAVORITE element is the 1 inch strip of the artichoke image on the right hand side. I printed it in grey scale and then rubbed green inks over it for dimension. Lastly, they've been spritzed with that perfect pearl stuff from Ranger.

There are 25 of these made. Can't wait to get the full book in a few weeks!

Saki

I found these and thought of both of you. Miss you both. xoxo.

P.S. - K - where are the pictures of the pup?!

The Rent's Due Again?!

The newest layout in the album. It commemorates the fact that H and I are cohabitating. The outside of the layout shows the "Before"...or what I like to call the 'during-the-move-mess.' Each picture opens to see the "After"...or the 'this-is-our-house-so-you-better-keep-it-clean!' pictures. The title is on a transparancey, so I stiched it to the front of the little book. Inside houses the journaling. And yes, those are actually phillips head screw eyelets that I have had for a loooooong time and finally found a reason to use!
