Sketchabilities # 82

Here is a sketch for Sketchabilities. 

Here is my page. Using Bobunny Powder Mountain.  Prima Flowers.  It was a group shot of the 9 grandchildren and My youngest Cherish. Prima Blooms were added and some gesso to streak the page and banner.

Creative Scrappers # 240

Trying to get to a couple challenges before New years eve festivities begin. Family Game night for us. 

My nieces and Nephews.  I used Pion Silent night and Tattered angels snowflake mask with molding paste. Recollections flower with prima, petaloo and wild orchid craft blooms. 

SOUS Dec sketch Christmas Magic

I did not plan on doing this page until after the holidays but found a Pic of my Mother and all of the sudden the page was complete. I used Bobunny Powder Mountain and an old Creative memories stencil and molding paste. I remember this Christmas well. My father had back surgery and ended up addicted to Morphine. My mother was not working at the time and our Christmas was kinda thin.  My Mom relied on help from community support and Christmas organizations to help provide presents.  When we arrived at my Grandmothers for lunch my Dad asked my Grandma to get Lou's present.  I believe she was shocked to get such a beautiful present. Of course she did not think she deserved it but my father assured her things would get better and next Christmas would not be like this one. As a kid I had not noticed how poor we actually were my mother hid it well and she made sure my sister and I did not go without. My father recovered and My Mother found Full time employment and a place to call her own.  I have all this written on the back of the page.  Because if you don't know the story she looks kinda upset.  She was just holding back her tears.  Tears of joy I like to believe.

 

Dec Cest Magnifique Sketch

I was not sure if I could get to this but stole some time and worked on the sketch this evening.  Using  CM kit I used a picture of Asher shortly after he was born.  The Pion papers are so beautiful.  I Love working with them.

December Paper Mixing bowl Guest Designer

I have some good news to share. I am now a Design Team Member at the Paper Mixing Bowl.  I have not been able to update my blog but now am starting to catch up and play with paper again.  I was a Guest Designer in December and here is my page.  The page also won a LO of the week at Scrapthat.  PMB-Dec2012-RecipeCard.jpg    I used BoBunny Papers Brick mask, Wild Orchid roses and bling.  The pic is from 2010.

Cest Magnifique November sketch.

I was watching my Nephew today and while he napped I put this together and well it actually took me all day to complete. I followed the sketch and used November Kit and some of my stash.

Main Course Guest Designer Nov 2012

I was fortunate enough to have My August Page at Paper mixingbowl chosen as Main course and that allowed me to "Play designer" At Paper Mixing Bowl for November.  I was given the sketch and the recipe and my page is now revealed with the design team pages.




  I had so much fun creating this page. My Nephew Asher made it easy.  The Title St. Lawrence Legacy is something I feel I am passing on to the next generation in our family. We are raised on the river and don't take it for granted. We have a cabin and bring the kids out as often as possible during the summer. I added my first handmade dreamcatcher and laced sweetgrass around it. The journal card has the story of our legacy on it.  The picture behind the dreamcatcher is the beach the kids swim at.  The Chubby Cheeks belong to Asher. I mixed a prima vine with Manor House and Kaisercraft blooms.  7 dots paper Wonderland with a mist swirl and vintage lace along the side.

SOUS Oct 26 Sketch Double Double

I worked on the sketch today. I had all my pieces together but had trouble finding a picture.  So I used a Disney Castle pic.  I used a DCWV halloween print and a DA frame the part you would normally throw away. I kept it and painted it black.  Framed my page perfectly.  The embellishments were in my goodie bag from the Halloween crop I attended yesterday. The broom was wrapped on a black licorace. I took it apart and added it to a pencil.  Stood it straight up. The big bloom was a tattered flower in felt. I added a couple roses and a glittery bird. I also used a prima brick mask and texture paste. So here is the sketch followed by my creation.

The front has the details of the day and the back has more of what I felt about that moment and how badly I miss my Mom.
