Better Living Through Scrapbooking September Challenge #4: Holiday Paper Use holiday-themed papers (Christmas, Halloween, Easter, 4th of July, etc.) to create a non-holiday themed page layout or mini album. Supply list: Cardstock: Discount Cardstock “Kraft,” “Desire Metallic,” “Cream Vellum” Patterned paper: Graphic 45 Christmas Past Collection “Carol of the Bells,” “The Holly and the Ivy” & On the Boardwalk Collection “Tags,” “High Style Holiday” Acrylic stamp: Imaginisce A Shore Thing Collection “Penguin Dude” Cake images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_justified_sinner/ Utensil clip art: http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ Labels: http://afieldjournal.blogspot.com/ Adhesive: Mod Podge Gloss, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, EK Success 3D-Dots Other: Thread Journaling: For my 23rd birthday, Dad brought home a treat for what he said was “a special occasion” — ice cream cake from DQ! I love that stuff. So, of course, I had to have a big piece. Chosen criteria: 3. Use pop-dots to give 3-D dimension to an element of your page. 5. Use rubber or acrylic stamps somewhere on your page. Techniques: The cake images are actually scans from vintage recipe books. I edited them in Photoshop, first changing them to black and white, and then giving them a “clip art” kind of look by applying a filter. I printed them out on Kraft cardstock and then applied Mod Podge Dimensional Magic over them to give them a dimensional, glossy look. They are raised off the page with pop dots. The Desire Metallic cardstock can be found on this page in the form of an oversized coin envelope, which I cut and made myself. The vintage spoon and a label appear to “spill” out of it. It makes a great backdrop for the photo/journaling collage! :) The cute penguin enjoying ice cream was stamped directly on the vellum, which I folded in half and acts as a pocket for the photo of me and the title label.
