Brushed Papers - Using overlays

sept-2-pages-page-007

I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Brushed Workshop on the Go Kit and only had a few odds and ends left over but I had one more layout I wanted to create for my overlays workshop.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.

The overlay is cut using the Artbooking Cartridge on the Cricut.  I set mine at 5" high which made each vertical band 1 1/4" wide.  Simply cut strips of patterned paper to add interest behind the overlay.

Brushed WOTG Layout

sept-2-pages-page-007
Mike and I travelled to England in July to attend the wedding of 2 special friends.  We had such fun!  One of the most amusing parts of the reception was the photo booth.  The beautiful bride, Shonny, sent us some prints taken in the photo booth which I love.  I thought this layout  was the perfect home for these photos.

This layout is copied straight from the Brushed Workshop on the Go instruction sheet.  It came together quickly.  A Cricut overlay was used as a template for sponging - isn't tha…

Brushed Overlay Page

I love my Cricut machine!  I'm not sure how I scrapbooked without it.  Today's layout features an overlay cut from the Artbooking cartridge.  You'll find it on page 64 of the Artbooking booklet.

I had a lot of fun filling the holes with papers from the Brushed paper Pack.  The stamped title uses 3 different stamp fonts and 3 ink colours.  Ink entire title in lightest colour then daub the medium and darkest colour around edges.

Imagine you were a Princess

sept-2-pages-page-007
When I was at the CTMH Convention in Disneyland, I spent some time in the theme park (as you do) and one of my favourite activities was watching the parade in the afternoon.  The first day I watched the characters and was caught up in the magic of it all.  The second day I was standing behind a little girl, all dressed up like a Princess, who was having the time of her life.  I think I spent more time watching her priceless reactions than I did the show.

A Lardhead Adventure

sept-2-pages-page-007
When my sister, Rhonda,  and I were young our family's favourite TV show on Sunday Night was called, "Ask the Leyland Brothers"  It screened between 1976 and 1980, covering 153 episodes. The series followed the Leyland brothers, Mike and Mal, who traveled across Australia and New Zealand in response to questions posed by viewers.  Mike and Mal were slow talking Aussies who had awesome adventures with their wives and children.

Once I had my driver's license, Rhonda and I would head off for short b…

This layout is one I adapted a little bit from the Wanderful WOTG kit. (G1088)  Once again, we have taken far too many photos so I had to find a way to squeeze extras onto the page.  Not shown in this photo are the Flip Flaps I will be adding to the layout at home.  I'm really excited to have a pack of 15 3" x 4" Flip Flaps  (Z3027)in our range now.  I print most of  my photos in this size and I …

I've missed these faces!

YAY! Reunited with our gorgeous daughter and her boyfriend after 3 months apart.  They have been having the time of their lives volunteering with a group called Soft Power Education in Uganda.  We've followed their blog and chatted on Skype but it's just not the same as having a hug!  I plan to make the most of  my time with them over the next 2 weeks we have together. london Here's those little journal box and travel log stamps again from the Wanderful WOTG kit.  I added the cute heart cluster from t…
