Lestat's First Birthday

Hello Scrapping For Tranquility Fans!  I want to share with you my youngest grandson, Lestat's first birthday pictures.  He was soooo excited to dig into his smash cake!  We are sooo glad we had a professional photographer there to record these memories! 

I knew I wanted to scrap these photos but not sure how .   I wanted to show the progression of the way she took the pictures but again, I didn't know how.  THEN,  I came across a challenge at Let's Scrap. 

This week's sketch seem to be perfect for what I needed.  Here is the sketch:

 

Here is my take on the sketch :

If you start in the top left going down working right then top left on the right page working right then down to bottom row to right and ending in the middle. 

I didnt want to add a lot of embellishments because I wanted the photos to speak for themselves.  Along with the paint splatter paper and the the loopy border I cut on my cameo, the flag banner, I felt that was enough.  I am really pleased the way it came out.

The worst part was the white background on the pictures and trying to photograph this layout.  It was not an easy layout to get a good picture of , at least for me.  LOL 

This was my first Let's Scrap Challenge but I am POSITIVE it wont be my last.  I truly LOVED it and love their sketches!  I hope you all will join me the next time!  I have found I have used a few of their sketches I have found on the net already and didnt know it was thiers!  

Thank you for joining me and I hope you all find some Tranquility in your Scrapping Soon!

Blessings,

Mr. & Mrs. Cutting Cafe Post

Hello Scrapping For Tranquility and Cutting Cafe Fans!  Yes, It is that time of the month for my Cutting Cafe blog post.  I took a month off, if you wonder where I have been but, I am getting back into the swing of things.

For this month we used the file Fun With Silhouettes.  It is such a fun file with soooo many silhouettes to choose from.  I chose the King and Queen Crowns and here is what I made:

 

I started with light grey AC Cardstock for my base and sized it to an A2 card size.  I then used Black AC Cardstock Just a 1/8 of an inch under the A2 size to frame this pretty pattern paper I had in my stash.  I cut out my Crowns on my Cameo along with my Mr. and Mrs. Title.  Glued them on my card.  To finish I topped them with the shiney rhinestones.  I called it finished.  

Simple sometimes is more elegant to me than blinged all out.

I hope you enjoy my Cutting Cafe project and I will see you again on August 7th!

Blessings,

 

Victorine Originals Landlubbers Challenge

Good Morning Scrapping For Tranquility and Victorine Originals Fans!  Today I want to share with you our new challenge starting today , July 7th.  It will run for 2 weeks.  

It is called Landlubbers and here is the inspiration board:

You can choose to use the Challenge theme name, the color inspiration, the picture inspiration or if you really want a challenge, you can use all of it together.  

Of Course we would love for you to use Victorine Originals Stamps but is not required.

Here is what I came up with:

I made a birth announcement for a boy using the Pirate Kid stamp and the Ahoy! stamp from Victorine Originals.  I think these stamps are just the bomb!  Soooo easy to use and just ADORABLE!

Of Course I used AC Card stock for my card stock and cut out my shape on my Cameo 3.  Colored in my image with Copics  and Used Memento Black Tuxedo to stamp my images. 

I hope you enjoyed my project and you will scoot on over to Victorine Originals Challenge Blog and link up!  Hope to see you soon!

Blessings,
