Scrap Around The World Celebration!


Hi friends, I'm here with my submission for Scrap Around The World's mega birthday bash!  It is flipping fantastic, there are uber awesome prizes up for grabs from some of the best in the biz.  It's the one year birthday for this great challenge site and I couldn't not participate :D Click on their name to go straight to this months challenge.  It's fantastic!

Here's a pic of the mood board -



Aren't the colors just yummy this month?  I love the minty green and the pinks.  How you interpret the board is entirely up to you.  I did a step out to show how I created my layout.  I was going to do a video, but when I went under my desk to get my tripod, mysteriously it's gone.  No one knows where, the sucker just pulled its legs out and walked away.  Now I know my memory has become really bad, but I think I'd know if I put it somewhere else, and sadly I can't remember when I saw it last.  Oh well.

I used corrugated box for some peek a boo spots, and texture paste, lots of layers in stamping and matting.  Here are my step by step pics





















This was just a wonderful inspiration board this month.  My title, Live Joyously says it all.  Life is a celebration and you should try your hardest to be happy.  It goes quick and can be way too short for some so always spread some sunshine around :)  I pulled a bit of this and that such as the balloons, the jute rope around the packages, the colors and the theme of celebrate.

Here's the finished piece -











Let me tell you about the paper.  It's 7 Dots and it's wonderful.  Nice thick paper that holds up to mixed media like a champ!  This is my very first time working with it and I love it.  I ordered a few pieces so I'll hoard them a bit.  My hot air balloon chippie is from Blue Fern Studios.  I've been just waiting to use it and this was perfect for it.  I gessod and them used some of my Ayeeda paints and my Lindy mists.  Some stickles down the ropes and the tippity top.  I also glued some micro beads at the corner in the left of the basket.

The pic is of me and my youngest boy Santino and my youngest granddaughter Gianna cherry picking.  That can is filled to the top with luscious cherries and we filled two others!
