atc-all about me

Our most recent atc challenge was to make an atc-all about me. I chose to use a photo of myself at 2 y.o. I printed it on SU white cardstock-coloured it with markers and then fussy cut. Fairy wings were punched from the Blossoms Petal Punch (SU) and then glitzed. The background paper and stamp are Stampin Up. I used paint to age the background and distressed it. The dress pattern paper was from a Kaisercraft "Vintage" pad. Martha Stewart border punch and flowers from my stash were added. The lady bird was from Papermania Hanoverian collection. Each of the items has a special memory for me growing up and it was all layerd on cream cardstock.

another vintage page

Finally got some weather suitable for photo's and last night did some finishing touches to this page. I'm not quite sure if it is finished yet. It will be a double page spread with the second page mostly journalling so I am thinking I might put a monogram just to the left of the stamping.

Paper is Basic grey Cappella again, cardstock is Bazzill. Ribbon and pearl button from my stash. I've cut the motif from one of the Cappella papers and layered it over another that I've punched with a Stampin Up border punch and slipped it under the side of the photo. I've used a corner punch on the dotted Bazzill corners and then slipped a scrap of the Cappella underneath. I've used scrap strips of the same paper to fold photo corners.

The stamp is from SU Vintage Vogue-I've taken the rubber of the wheel and mounted it to create a flat stamp. I stamped the section with the butterfly on a piece of the Cappella, and then mounted it to the first image to create dimension

Vintage page

Finally some sunshine so that I can get a photo of this page I did last weekend. Even got some shadows which is better than the cold grey gloom of the last few days. This is the front page of an album recreating my grandmother's photo's . Many of these date to WW1 era so there is some photoshopping happening on a few of them. I have used Bazzil cardstock and Basic Grey Cappella papers. The edges are disressed and inked. Flowers are Prima, leaves are punched or Magnilia dies. Small flowers are punched ,embossed with an embossing tool and tiny buttons from my stash used as centres. I am entering this in the Bizzy Bec's Creatalicious challenge this month.

Finally, the other male card

Wanted a vintage look but different from the first card as they were both going to the same person! Finally resorted to the Stampin Up Colour Wheel for inspiration and came up with this. The card stock is all Stampin Up, Not Quite Navy, So Saffron, Very Vanilla and More Mustard. The image is from Stamper Anonymous Tim Holtz collection. The greeting is Stampin Up.
