IT'S DESTRUCTION-MONDAY...

here in Arizona. And my construction workers don't seem to care a bit about papers, stamps, photographs or dies.

Grrrrr - they just keep trudging past my studio, leaving a trail of drywall dust in their wake.

So I've covered everything with sheets, put an extra layer of plastic over my paper stash...and retreated to the guest room. Along with the dogs.

{We'll see who holds out longer. Me or the beasts!}

For some creative inspiration today, I've got a couple of pages to share.

The first one is from EmmBee... 

She started on this last week, does the layout look familiar? It's the Scrapy Land Starting Blox #1. She just flipped it over on its side, and filled in some of the photo-spots with journaling instead. I LOVE IT!

She used her Silhouette SD to cut out the peanut butter jar and banana. Then she grabbed her dies and used the QK CC Breakfast {for the bread, plate and knife} Holiday 4x8 {spreading}, Oatmeal {the, with}, Gazebo {love}, Diesel Classic {Poppy}, QK Beads border, 2x2 Heart Speech  Bubble, Aquarius 4x8 {L, O, V, E} and her Copic C3 for a bunch of shadows and all around accents.

What an adorable page, documenting a precious memory. Memories ladies - that's what it's all about.

Of course, you don't have to just scrapbook memories. You could do what Veronica did and scrapbook plans...

 

This is a page with no pictures, because the event hasn't happened yet. It's a race Veronica has registered to run in this spring. She said if the page was already designed, she'd have more accountability to going through with it! What a great idea!

Veronica used the QK CC Runners from the January release, along with the 2x2 Running Shoe, her Teriyaki and Central Park fonts and some Glimmer Mists for this awesome masking effect.

All she has to do is have her hubby snap a picture as she blazes through the finish line, and she'll be all set. Another page for the books. GO GET 'EM Veronica, we'll be cheering for you!

My husband just left for the NFL Combine, and the construction crew is here all week. {Did I mention the drywall dust?} To keep my mind off of the fact that he bailed on me - how about a Scrapy Land LIVE?!?!

Poor dusty Susan. Construction workers are best when seen from behind as they LEAVE the premises - arent they??? Lovely LO with Poppy - I really like it and Veronica - you are almost too good to be true - planning ahead and having this pretty LO ready - you'll make us all look bad... and running too - not sure I can call you a friend after this. =0) LOL

Wonderful pages EmmBee and Veronica.

Susan, can you review what inks need to be heat set, which is the ones do you use for embossing powder, can you stamp and emboss with cear powder and then color with Copics.

Recommeded way to clean stamps - based on the inks.

Thanks
Karen

Thank you girls again for all your inspiration.

and glimmer mist.Looking forward to the lesson.

So creative! I need that runner to scrap my pics for my first--and ONLY!-5 K race I ran last fall. Love all those fonts! Wow wee!

[MB]

I agree that after making a page like Veronica's I would not be able to back out of the race! I can''t wait to try that masking technique when my glimmer mists arrives---hopefully tomorrow! Any special tips on working with Glimmer Mist?

[Joselle]

Beautiful layouts, ladies!!!
Susan succes with your workers, i hope that after the mess and the dust you can enjoy again of your place.
See you tonight!!

EmmBee & Veronica....those pages are so creative. Love the use of all the fonts on the Poppy page and the message that tied in with peanut butter. Cute Cute! Glimmer Mists are on my list....Veronica, the runner LO is amazing....yes, please tell us how you did this...I have a rough idea , but it's nice to find out how to do it from a PRO. :)

Susan, I wonder if you can make a use for some of that drywall dust??? Hmmmm????? Something that would be cute on a LO?

Thanks for sharing your great ideas. See/hear you tonight on the LIVE...excited to learn about stamping. A new venture!

[Teri]

This is my first adventure with the Scrapy Land Blog and I'm planning to be with you tonight for Stamping 101 Live!
I do have a question for tonight, will you be going over storage for the stamps?

Like what I see, you guys do a great job, thank you for all the info and time and sharing that you do, it is appreciated!

[Jennifer]

Love the Peanut butter and the banana! The story is so well documented! I have heard about the Poppy sandwich many times and you scrapbooked it perfectly. Sarah will really appreciate having this story! It is so sweet to see her little face and compare it to her 7 year old self! Great job flipping the blox too...I sometimes forget that you can do that!
