Daric Barton Page

Today I have another page for you from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for a picture that was published on Sports Illustrated.com on in June 23, 2008. For this I printed out the web page that shows the photo and then added a 5x7 of the actual photo. The stamp for the journaling is from the For the Record set by Autumn Leaves. Sorry the photo of this page isn't the greatest. I was getting a lot of glare from the photo when taking the picture.....

Printed Window Sheets

Hi all. Today I have a card for you that I created using the new Clearly Thanks Printed Window Sheets from the Occasions Mini Catalog, which starts TOMORROW! To attach the window sheet to the card stock, I simply stuck a little glue dot on the underside of a couple of the leaves and used my snail adhesive under the ribbon so it is very discrete. This card looks much better in person though. It was hard to get a good photo because of the reflection and glare that was coming off the window sheet.

Ingredients:

• Lavender Lace and So Saffron Textured Card Stock
• Clearly Thanks Printed Window Sheets
• Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain ribbon
• 5 Petal punch
• 5/16" jumbo brads
• Glue dots

Brett Wallace Page

It is time to share another page from Chris' scrapbook. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This page is for a picture that was published in June 2, 2008 issue of Sporting News magazine. For this I printed out a small picture of the cover of the magazine and cut out the picture and article, being careful to include the photo credit (which is on that long "tail" coming off the bottom of the picture). I then put a 5x7 of the actual photo and then used a stamp from the For the Record set by Autumn Leaves for the journaling.

Birthday Card

Today I wanted to share with you the card I made for a friend's birthday. I pretty much CASEd another card (but for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it). To make it my own I used my Big Shot to texturized the colored squares in the background (which is hard to see in the picture). And on the inside I added a spiral pop-up.

Ingredients:

• Party Hearty stamp set
• Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White card stock
• Real Red and Pacific Point ink
• Scallop Circle, 1 3/4", 1 3/8", 1 1/4", 1", 3/4", 1/2" Circle Punches, Word Window Punch
• Silver Brads
• Big Shot and Texture Plates
• Stampin' Dimensionals
• Sticky Strip
• Mini Glue Dots

March Demonstrator Swap

Yesterday we had our monthly demonstrator swap. This month we were tasked to make a retro card using the SU! Cheep Talk set and retro colors. Pretty much following the Retro Fresh style watch in the current catalog. My card was inspired by a card I saw in the gallery on Splitcoast. I changed up a few things though to make it mine. I used the Little Leaves, Top Note, and texture plates with my Big Shot on this, as well as our felt flowers and corduroy buttons:

Another Henry Sosa Page

Today I have another page from Chris' scrapbook for you. You can see my original post for all the details of this project, or click here to see all the pages I have posted so far. This one is another baseball card. This is the second card that was made using one of Chris' photos of this particular player, Henry Sosa. This one is kind of cool because it is an autograph card (card comes out of the pack autographed). For this I scrapped the card and a 5 x 7 of the original photo. I used a stamp from the For the Record 3 set by Autumn Leaves to record the player and location information. Then I used a stamp from the Calendar Stamps set by Autumn Leaves to record the date the photo was taken. Hope you enjoy this page. Until next time.....
