Motherhood ~ Scraps of Darkness

This page was made using different kits from SOD. I lifted Mandy's page Remember This Girl for the Round Robin Challenge at SOD. Please feel free to join us in our forums, we would be so pleased to have you there. And don't forget, if you are interested in these kits...please subscribe so you won't miss out!!!

This is my mom, brothers and sister back in 1969. Journal: 1 Broken arm, 2 Boo-boos, 1 Attitude Problem, 1 Temper Tantrum = 1 Brave Mom



Here is my attempt at making a flower....to me, it looks like it died lol. I really don't have a green thumb.

Bake

This is the Punky Scraps sketch for April.

This is my take on it. I went really out of my comfort zone with these cute and bright die cuts. This is one of my favorite photos of all 3 of my kids together. Journal: The kids had a bake off! They each decorated their own cupcakes after they helped make them. Papi was the judge. Gisselle won! Summer 2009

Those rhinestones are supposed to look like chocolate muffins that I colored in with my marker lol.

Howdy Partner ~ Scraps of Darkness

Another page from the Foundations kit from SOD. I can't get enough of these awesome papers and unique embellies. For this page I used sketch #216 from Sketch Inspiration. I added some more layers and made this into a masculine cowboy page. This is my husband and his dad back in 1986.

I tried making tumble weeds out of the moss. I roughed up the edges to the TH alpha stickers. All the clocks I used were all semi circles, perfect for tucking them behind.

I tried making a lasso around this journal tag.

A DA piece from an older kit. I punched some holes to use the reinforcers I love.

Sketches: Creatively Yours 03-11 ~ Swing

This is the 03-11 DT sketch from Sketches:Creatively Yours, drawn by Alison McDonald. I saw this sketch as fun and playful. So I used my imagination and came up with something whimsical. Please feel free to use this sketch for your own use and link it to our main blog...we would love to see what you do with it! Visit us on Facebook!!!

I used the colors that Punky Scraps is using for a Spring color challenge. Yellow, green and orange. I used some gears and a boat attached to a hot air balloon for a Steam Punk theme as well.

Journal: Just hanging around having a good old time at the C.O.D. park. March 2006. This is Andrew, whom I cut out as he sits there in the swing.

Travel Through the Pages.. ~ Scraps of Darkness

This was made from the Foundations kit from April. I used the Bo Bunny Sketch by Juliana Michaels . These are my in-laws. I never met my FIL. He passed away before I met my husband. These photos were taken around 1974.

Time Apart ~ Scraps of Darkness

Here is the dark side of me!!! I used the Foundations kit for April from SOD and some things from my stash to make this page. Since my husband and I don't spend much time together, and we always seem apart, I thought I wold scrap it out!!! So I ripped our photo apart, as well as the clock. I also pulled some petals off the large flower to show more distress and sadness. Photo taken in June 2010.

The journal reads: Time is torn when we are not together. I made my own chain of charms.

All of the flowers were white, so I blackened them up.
