My Weblife

Opened my browser today.  Answered a quiz on webifyme.org.  Got a collage of my weblife.

I can't believe how true the symbols on the collage mean.  If you have time and want to know what the stuff on the collage mean you can check it here.

I joined a free class on Big Picture called Big Idea Festival.  It's my first class on Big Picture and this is my first submission.  The class started yesterday (Aug. 15).  I am really excited.

I made this for the class.

Amy Tan's template was so simple and I loved it because it was focused on journalling which I love.
I decided to print the template -- see the cutting guides still printed.  I did not erase it or cut the template on the guides.  Then I mist the cardstock with some smooch spritz, used fiskars punch on the edges, matted it on some old 8x8 patterned paper I have in my stash.  I used basic grey marjolaine chipboard stickers as embellishments.

Journalling reads: Time. Laughter. Love. Stories. Pictures. Layouts. Techniques. Wisdom. Realizations. Lessons Learned. Food. Recipes. Restaurants. Moments. Places. Sceneries. A sunrise. A sunset. A lingering melody. A moving song. Talents. Skills. Knowledge. Advice. Discoveries. Curiosities. Something that make me smile. These are the things I love to share... to make a day and make someone happy.

A Perfect Day

I have been making layouts from sketches and challenges on line since I started scrapping, but I never got the nerve to upload them.

Today, after doing an LO from the "once upon a sketch" challenge blog, I was so pleased that I decided to upload it here.

Title:  A Perfect Day
Journaling: A perfect day is best spent discovering new places.  Lombard St., San Francisco, California, USA., July 2010.
Materials:  Cosmo Cricket Material Girl and Garden Variety Double Deck paper pack, Titling from Nikki Sivils We Are Family Cardstock Stickers.
Tools:  Martha Stewart puncher, scissors, MM Slice, foam dots, double adhesive tape

This is a picture taken of me at the foot of the famed Lombard St. in San Francisco, California, USA during a visit July of last year.  I have been wanting to scrap this but never really found the right sketch or challenge. 

I used left over patterned papers from the double deck paper pack of the material girl and garden variety lines of Cosmo Cricket.  I have wanted to use the flowers from the sheet "Inspiration" of the Material Girl collection.  I felt  that this was one of the best opportunities to cut-out and use the flowers.  I used my Slice to cut-out 3 sizes of butterflies from the basics 2 design card. I used martha stewart punch for the scalloped edge.

I really enjoyed doing this layout despite the interruption of breastfeeding my 4-mo old.
