Day 279: Glamour Shots: Pearls and Leather Part 2

Now that we have returned from our weekend trip, I can get back to work on this scrapbook page.

I really like the look of all the "banners" that have become so popular. I had some tags in my stash that I thought worked with this page, and decided to make a banner with them.  Using my Crop-A-Dile, I added copper and pewter eyelets to the tags, and then laid them across a strand of the torn pearl paper (Graphic 45) to make a banner.  I found some typewriter key letter stickers in my stash and spelled out my name on the center three tags. While going through my stash, I found some coordinating stickers (and for the "love" sticker, a coordinating overlay, which I stapled on), I made a border for the bottom of the page. I am not happy with this page yet.  It needs something more.  I will leave it tonight and work on it again tomorrow.

Day 221: Monster Truck Card

 My husband and I are very close with my husband's cousin, and her teenage son has a birthday coming up.  I decided a monster truck card might be considered "cool".

I used "chocolate chip" card stock from Stampin' Up! as the card base.  I ran a piece of brown leather look paper from my scrap folder through Cuttlebug's "tire track" embossing folder.  I stamped the Great Impressions monster truck stamp with Memento Ink on Neenah paper, and colored it with my Copic markers. I cut out the truck and  used pop dots to adhere it to the tire tracks.  I layered that on top of a "sand" paper in my scrap folder.  I used my Crop-A-Dile and added 5 black eyelets across the top and bottom of the card to rev it up a little bit.
