Brunswick Lake

I have finally completed my 2017 Photobook.... with the things that we have done throughout the year. I realize that I haven't shared the pages with you yet. So, over the course of the next few days I hope to share with you my pages and to give credit to the designers who made my pages look beautiful. Now, I do have to say, my husband takes most of the photos, so without his great photo-taking skills.... we wouldn't have the great yearly photobooks that we have!

Before I show you the Brunswick Lake pages, I'd like to show you what the cover looks like. The back shows just the background paper.

In January 2017, it was such a beautiful day... Mike and I walked around the trail at the Nature Center in Brunswick. We walked both the inside and the outside trail... about 1.5 miles total. It was great to get out and enjoy the weather.

On The Field

For me, it's a bit difficult to create teen boy cards... especially when those teen boys do not play sports. However, my nephew does love football... and he plays on his high school football team. So, making this card for him was surprisingly easy.

I created the field and the football within My Digital Studio software... and then printed it out on Whisper White cardstock.  For the field, I covered the entire background with Gumball Green. Then, for the yard lines I used a square punch filled w/Whisper White.  I finished off by adding the number punches (Timeless Type Junior Numbers)in Whisper White.

Next, I created the football. It's from the 'Great Sport' digital download and colored it Soft Suede.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:

I decided to start working on my 2012 Photobook...... I know, I know..... I'm way behind. 2013 is almost over and we're ready to ring in the New Year 2014! But.... I'm determined to get caught up...... EVENTUALLY! =)

I was intrigued by the sketch and technique challenge on the MDS Monday Blog.  Along with the sketch.... they asked us to convert one of our stamps to a punch.  Clever -right?  Well, you may view the challenge here on their blog -- As well as -- the link to the video tutorial on how to change your stamp brush sets to punches: http://mdsmonday.blogspot.com/2013/11/mdsm42-stamp-to-punch-with-card-sketch.html

I used the papers in the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Papers for my page.  I decided to convert my "moments" stamp brush to a punch.  This way it seems like the the year and words were just punched out of the 'soft suede' cardstock by seeing the background paper underneath! Cool!

You can see some wording going down the left side of my page (sort of off the paper).... well, don't worry.  It's meant to be there.  It's part of my cover page -- it'll show on the spine of my photobook when I'm complete!

Thanks for taking a peek!
