A Step Back in Time ~ Scraps of Darkness

Here is the new kit called Foundations for April!! And I love these Bo Bunny papers!! I just couldn't wait. And the burlap came in this kit which tickled me pink!! I have wanted burlap forever and finally got a nice sized piece of it. This page is based on a sketch (#213)over at Sketch Inspiration. This is my mom and I in April 2007. I miss her so much!!!!

Just Jordon ~ Scraps of Darkness

This canvas came in the Vintage Revelry kit. It was the first one I have ever used. I tried to do my own masks, and it wasn't working out so I went mist crazy. I thought I ruined this, but ended up using my mistakes to my advantage. This is my dog Just Jordon (his formal name). He joined my mom in heaven shortly after she left. It proves you can die of a broken heart.Jordon lived 12 wonderful years. This pic was taken in Feb 2001.

This beautiful vine was made by Kay. She has a wonderful etsy shop full of beautiful things. I added Jordon's tag and some of his fur to the page.

This cute bird house came from SOD's shoppe.

Girls Rock ~ Scraps of Darkness

Here is the cool image that Punky Scraps used for the March challenge inspiration.

This is the page I came up with. I used the November Rain kit from SOD and a Sketch Inspiration #212 sketch to create this page. These are my girls in June 2010.

This guitar is an iron on.

I got this cool pin from winning a challenge at SOD from Lisa, made by Mandy.

1 Unlucky Fella ~ Scraps of Darkness

I went back to my older Simply Steam punk kit for this page. I have been waiting for the right oppertunity to scrap this photo, since it has such a tragic history. I made this for 2 challenges. One is the Steam Punk Challenge at http://www.scrapbook.com/, with the theme of luck. Instead of going with good luck I went in the other direction. The other challenge is for Punky Scraps.
The challenge there is to use 3/5 ingredients. Well I guess I went over board and ended up using all of them lol. Distressing, black/white photo, flowers, sparkle and misting.
This is my great grandfather. Journal: This photo was taken during 1925, the same year Ziba was hijacked, robbed and shot to death on July 4th.

I found the oldest penny I have and it is dated 1919, so I figured this could have been in his pocket at the time of robbery. I used some parts that came from a VHS machine and cut outs.

I was going for an old newspaper look, but ran out of pp for the job. But I already drew my sketch and continued with my design anyway.

Big ~ Scraps of Darkness

I used an older kit, November Rain, to make this page. In SOD's shoppe there are mini kits that have these papers that you can get your hands on if you want ;) I made this page for the Paint/Mist Challenge over at http://www.scrapbook.com/ and for the March sketch challenge at Punky Scraps
I used Mandy Harrell's tut for the misting and stamping. Those tiny stars and other shape are temporary tattoos.
This is Andrew in June 2010. The journal reads: "When I get bigger I want to be a giant".

I misted and inked the TH letters. I used bubble wrap for the stamping technique.



I tried using some gold embossing powder over the mist on this swirl, and this is the results.

I am on a DT!!!

I am so excited to share that I was fortunate enough to be chosen as part of the design team for Sketches: Creatively Yours aka S:CY blog along with my wonderfully sweet friend Mandy Harrell!!! There will be some amazing new sketches coming soon!! So please come over and join the fun with us!!!

Remembering a Story ~ S:CY & Scraps of Darkness

This was made from the new and fabulous Vintage Revelry kit for March, which can be found here http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/ I used a Creativity Yours Sketch (01-11) for inspiration. Link: http://creativelyyourssketches.blogspot.com/ I made my own bg with the new Paris stamps that came with the kit. The color-add on is super awesome. There are 7 mists to this and I used 2 of them fro masking. My grandma and Buddy, the dog, in 1939.

That clock is a Prima stencil that came in a previous color add on.

I did a lot of layering and distressing.
