Just Add Ink Scrapbooking Challenge #22 - Sketch

Just in time again for the monthly JAI Scrapbooking Challenge with only a few hours to spare!  I flipped over and mirrored the sketch so that my tractor photo was facing towards the middle of the page instead of off it.  :)

This was a fun layout using the only Designer Series Paper I had left that had some red (Poppy Parade) in it.  The title was make using My Digital Studio which was fast and easy with the exact colours I needed.

Hubby's 40th - Card & Cake

 My hubby turned 40 recently and asked for a guitar for his birthday as he had always wanted to learn one.  We found a lovely blue left-handed one so I knew I had to make a card to match!  I used the beautiful card here for my inspiration.  I used a needle and thread to make the strings, and the black patch next to the "hole" is the wing from the XL Bird Punch.

Cardstock: Basic Black, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Pacific Point, Gold Glimmer Paper
Ink: Basic Black, Soft Suede

Just wanted to share too, here's the cake I made for him to match his guitar as well.

 

I got my inspiration from here for this project.  Of course the cake was a hit too!

Magnetic Platform Layout

The new Magnetic Platform is so cool!  It holds framelits and edgelits perfectly in place while they go through the big shot.  It's especially handy when cutting out a stamped image so that it doesn't move at all.

I whipped up this layout in a matter of minutes and challenged myself to only use framelits and edgelits.

 

Stamps: Calendar Alphabet
Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Sycamore Street DSP, Whisper White
Ink: Island Indigo
Accessories: Big Shot, Magnatic Platform, Framelits: Ovals Collection, Hearts A Flutter, Bitty Banners, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Cloudy Day Embossing Folder
