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...

Calvinball #9, CR Smith Museum

Another layout completed this afternoon using, Echo Park, "All about a Boy" by Lori Whitlock.  I'm calling the layout, CR Smith Museum although the layout really doesn't have a title. JT and I went to the museum because of a visiting Lego exhibit and had a great day, not only because of the Lego exhibit but the American Airline part of the museum we found really exciting and interesting. This layout was fun to make, I could have embellished for days, as it was I went sticker and die cut happy.

Boys Love Toys, Calvinball #8

Been playing in the scrap loft today and made this layout featuring Echo Park collection "All about a boy" by Lori Whitlock.  It is a beautiful collection and was really easy to put this together.  However, being that it is for Calvinball I had to add some stamping and of course a few wood veneers since they have appeared on the rules list for points!

Hope everyone is having a happy, scrappy day.

Calvinball layout #7 (I think)

John with his 2 precious boys, 4th of July 2014 weekend.

I'm thinking this is layout #7 and today is the 5th.  I also did 3 Christmas layouts that were all of the photo cards we received in 2014 since they aren't necessarily family I haven't posted them anywhere, So plugging along, to play & in the competitive spirit of Calvinball I feel like I'm getting bunches accomplished. GO ME!!!

Watch Me! another Calvinball layout (#6).& Shimelle play along

YAY~~~  I found time to get a layout done!  I was over the card making...
This is a monochromatic, nothing but scraps, hand made elements layout, I went through my scrap pile and decided I had more pink scraps than any other color, decision made...lol

I've spent more time in the craft loft in the last 4 days than I have EVER!  I think scrubby is getting jealous - oh well. (he'll get over it).

Til tomorrow...
