"They Lift Him Up" Mixed Media Layout for entry into the Feb 2015 challenge at Scrap Around The World

This is my latest layout that I completed.  I am entering it into the Feb 2015 Scrap Around the World Challenge here.

The Mood board that they provided to give you inspiration is below:

The first thing that inspired me from this mood board was the sentiment.  It reminded me of a conversation I had with my son a short time ago.  He told me that never did he imagine that he would have four children (he was an only child).  But more than that, he never imagined how much love he would feel for each and every one of them.  He said it overwhelms him sometimes.  The second thing about the mood board that called to me was the color green.  I tend to shy away from the color green so I decided to challenge myself and use a shade of green in this layout.

The following is my layout and the products that I used:

Cherish and With a name like JACK there's no way but UP from here layouts and Cherish Card

This layout and card were the first projects that I completed after taking a class with Cathy Cafun and the Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo at the Brisbane convention center.  We used Prima Romance Novel Papers "Bookplate" and "Dear John" and We R Memory Keepers Anthologie paper "Potpourri".  We used scrapmats chipboard, burlap, seam binding, small pearl flowers, wooden buttons, twisted paper ribbon, sating ribbon, pink and green ink, and the pansy die.  After the class, I decided to see how many things I could make from the few leftover pieces of paper I had.  The below layout was another and I will make hopefully 2 more cards! 

Hi everyone, back again.  I just wanted to add another layout that I made of my precious grandson Jack.  I had leftover scraps from the Prima Romance Novel Collection of papers that I used in the "Cherish" layout that I just posted and I try to use up all of my scraps.  I used scraps from that collection, along with scraps from Kaisercraft Madam Boutique Collection "Lingerie" paper  I used Pixie Press Alpha stickers (typewriter key style).  All of the scrap pieces were edged using the spellbinders on the Edge dies.  I used Karen Foster Scrappers floss on the metal label holder.  I also applied the dots using a template and modeling paste that I added two small drops of pale green paint to.  Both pages came from the same papers but I was able to make one feminine and one masculine layout.  I have the one feminine card - now I will come up with a masculine card with the remainder of the scraps.  Thanks for looking!

"First Boy" Scrapbook page of my grandson

This is the first scrapbook page I have been able to get to of my new Grandson Jack.  The paper is from the free paper "Nature Garden" by Prima that came with my issue of Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine.  All of the cogs were cut with svg files on my Cricut.  The dog tag I used a chipboard tag - covered it with silver tape and embossed his name in it with an embossing letter punch set.  I added real metal washers, nuts, and some screws to the center of the cogs as well as some hole enforcers, brads and a button.  All of the cogs are embossed with silver, gold, copper embossing powder.  I hung the word "love" from one of the cogs.  Page layout and design scraplifted from a page designed by Michelle Grant featured in the magazine.  Thanks for looking!
