Happy Anniversary Card

I have spent so much time in the scrap loft working on layouts for CalvinBall I all but forgot that our 33rd wedding anniversary is this Saturday.  I threw this together this afternoon using Amy Tangerine 6x6 Rise & Shine paper, plus DCWV glitzy glitter in blue using Tim Holtz (sizzix) celebrate thinlits dies, plus various stamps.

CalvinBall #15 Jill's Beautiful Happy 46th Birthday

This was created because of a point in the Calvinball rules that said a point could be added for scrapping with the color purple. Colored purple pattern paper was located in the depths of the scrap vault it was Making Memories, Be Inspired dated 2005, after I dusted it off I got out the clear gesso and gelatos on Stampin Up whisper white 12 x 12 and came up with this background foundation page. I went to town with purple foil paper punches and dies.  Pulled out some old stamps, memento grape ink 2 sticko vellum sticker sheets and what do you know, I did a purple layout!!  Surprise!!!

CalvinBall #14 Papa's Cowboy Hat

This layout was fun, I had a speciality cut apart piece of 12x12 that I had purchased at a retreat in November 2015, it was perfect for the pictures.  These were taken in Pflugerville 4th of July weekend 2014.  JT and Blake got a kick out of wearing Papa's cowboy hat, they thought they were tough little cowboys.

CalvinBall #13 Remember, I (heart) U

This was taken at JT's soccer game during the weekend that we went to Lana's to watch the kids so her and John could have a night away with friends.  My mom flew into Dallas to ride down to Austin to surprise everyone. This layout is mostly taken from my scrap bin, some are 6x6's that were pulled for other layouts that ended up in scraps.

Soccer Striker, Calvinball #12

This was a lesson learned layout, there was a point awarded for 15 elements on the Calvinball rule list.  that point was not worth it! I learned my hexagon wafer thin dies are not even, there is a top, bottom, and side.  I had a hard time coming up with 15 elements and in the end was even digging in puffy stickers.  it's a bad case of sticker sneeze but it's done and in the books. Plus I racked up 11 points for this one.

So I Can Eat! Calvinball #11

This was made with paper out of the scrap bin, which is becoming more and more manageable by the day!  I had fun digging thru all of my grey Thickers.

Yeah, & Let's Play Ball; Calvinball #10

I didn't think it was going to happen tonight, but I was able to sneak upstairs to the crafty loft and put together the layout that I laid together yesterday.  This layout uses some super old papers from the depth of the stash vault, some Chatter Box, and Pick Paislee Queen Bee, who knows what else???  It was my first attempt at the ever popular "stacking layers" that I see all over pinterest/you tube, (Obviously) I need help/practice... LOL  This layout is for JT's book to document his day spent with Papa & Uncle.

til tomorrow...
