Journaling SAMCRO

One of the things I'm going to try to be better at is journaling the little things that I want to be able to look back on and remember.  One of my favorite shows was the "Sons of Anarchy", LOVED IT!!!!  My husband and I watched it faithfully, all 7 seasons, and I wanted to do a page on how much we loved it. Pay a little homage to Jax if you will. :)

Here is my journal spread and then I will show you how it all came together:

I started out with two pages that I had cleaned my Gelli plate on (I love doing that) after making other pages as well as cleaning stamps on, a great way to use up the extra ink!

Then I had an awesome image of Jax that I had clipped from a magazine and I placed him onto the one page.

Then I saw the left side needed a little something so I stamped the film strip stamp onto it.

Then I painted inside of the film strip so it would tie in with the color on the other page, making it more cohesive.

And once more here is the finished spread

and some close ups

 I love that glob of paint, texture!!!

The stamps I used to make this project are the film strip, bubble wrap texture, tire tread, danger skeleton, line of chevrons, row of stars, censored, one way, arrow, writing arrow, chevrons, not all who wander are lost, french writing background, on the flip side, and last but not least the spotty background! Whew, I don't think I missed any but I sure had fun using all of these stamps!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my project.

She Who Wears The Bigger Crown {Inspiration by DeeDee}

Hi hi hi folks!!

DeeDee here today to INSPIRE you for the February Challenge.

I have a lot of fun putting together these boards to inspire you each month, and now I'm excited to create a project based on one, too. I've put together the following Tag: 

The pink circles in the background are from the brand new Solid Color Wheel stamped in Design Memory Craft's melon gelato. I've layered on top of them the Large Doily and the Medium Doily. Our Man and Woman Symbol make the perfect non specific couple, and she got HER crown, and he got HIS. ;)

All black ink is Archival Ink by Ranger. The checker pattern is from the UmWowStudio Checker Board Mask, and has been drawn in with Sakura of America Micron. I finished off the tag with a little dymo label maker, May Arts ribbon and vintage measuring tape.

Now that I've INSPIRED YOU >>> Head over and join in on the challenge yourself! Some rubber and a spotlight on our blog is up for grabs♥
