Photos from Canyonlands

Besides canyons there's a bunch of stuff on the surface that

are really cool. Like this split rock.

 I have such a hard time with canyons it's so tough for

me to get their breadth and scope.

 This was fascinating.

There Colorado and the Green rivers that run through Canyonlands

and eventually converge.

I have no idea which river this is but it's cool all the same.

I love the trees.

 They are soooo artistic.

Seriously.

Of course there was haze happening but

you could still see the layers and layers of the mountains and canyons.

Every scene is absolutely amazing.

Last one for the binge!

Okay this is for sure the last one

and totally killed this kit.

I almost forgot about this one - it was in the camera

and as I was printing I was thinking

I needed to do our own 'annual' chalk festival

good thing I looked in the book.

So that camera was a bigger sticker that I fussy cut out.

Those square stickers are leftovers from the "sticky moasics."

 I only have 2 stickers left on the sticker sheet.

woohoo!!!

 I love these thickers and as you can see I ran out of a few

vowels so I just winged it.

I like it.

I'm not sure if the parents or the kidlets had more fun.

It has rained since the chalk festival

and only the creations under the cars are still there.

Dad outlined Annie's name and I pop dotted her coloring

it in as an "inset" on the "dad's" photo.

I thought that was cool.

Another page from last week's binge

And there are a few more pages!!

I'm gonna try and binge again it was a lot of fun.

(Inspiration continues from Soaphouse Mama)

This is an 8x8 page I did for Jill.

 I was able to use more of the "dog" phrases

which is soooo fun.

I need a dog.

 This layout basically used the majority of the scraps 

from the Canyonland kit.

So I sorta "killed a kit." 

One in a row.

I even used the stamps.

Love this photo and added some paper issues embellies

and those arrows were from a travel kit I had picked up on the road.

I forget the mfg.

Love how this turned out.

I also was able to use "autumn" stuff.

woohoo

because autumn isn't that obvious in Florida.

More layers and stamping!

I have had trouble with blogger scheduled posting. My apologies if this seems to be a rerun. LOL.

Can it be soooo???

Oh yes - this was another page I competed

on Saturday - and the mojo just kept on rolling

even with interruptions.

Love that.

 Some different stash - that "photo" - creative cafe

how old is that - I did get wild and punch out some cork 

embellies and they are fun.

Another rolling stamp in the background.

Lots of mat layers.

Bonus - because we don't have dogs anymore - I did get to use

the word strips from a kit gone by about dogs.

Love it.

 Those fun little foam tabs are going down.

So fun.

Love the title and that too came from a previous kit

and love how it works as they are

standing on a mountain.

Oh and that bird stamp - I love it and use it

quite a bit - since I'm binging you'll see it again.

Stamping and layering frenzy

I made this page 8.5x11 because I wanted

some of the B side - which is that grey and yellow

mat peeking through.

I used the stamps that came with the kit which was

fun and also a rolling heart stamp in the background to give

it some umph...

 More black and white photo love - 

 Embellies and alphas from previous kits.

Using that stash baby!

I decided it needed a frame and it turned into

messy lines after the lines came out messy and then I just went with the flow.

I wanted a big title but not to be overwhelming which by

the looks of it I succeeded.

Transparency letters from another kit worked here

and I also used some of those square tabs leftover from

Sticky Mosciac kits the kids were doing.

Black and white photo love

The paper in this SC kit is so fun and

I loved putting them all together- this is the

2nd page in my binge.

 I tried to match the watercolor paint to the paper

and didn't do too bad.

The stickers were fun and I also added some

elements from previous kits.

 Did some fun messy sewing and layers.

Mostly because I needed to cover up some messy stamping.

Ain't nothing you can't save.

Beautiful photo and love how it turned out.

And that creative cafe stamp I've had for YEARS and

finally used it. 

This is 8x8 size that'll go into Jill's album.

A page with no specific title and multiple photos...gasp

I know!!!

What's up with that.

Well let me explain.....

The grandkidlets came to visit and made a list 

of things they wanted to do - they are 7 and 4 years old.

Therefore I wanted the focus to be on the list

written out by Owen and confirmed by Annie as good to go.

If you look closely, the boxes were checked

as we went along.

 I also wanted the photos to show the checked off item.

That resulted in a multi photo page that made me

fuss around for awhile because I really

wanted it less graphic and

more wild - however, its obvious I have issues with wild.

 When I punched the strip all those itty bitty

circles came out and I modge podged the white side

and tossed the circles around

and then promptly covered most of them up.

Love how it turned out as this documents

their total stay and nothing says that I can't do

individual pages too.

In full disclosure the rest of the week has all the pages completed.

I watched a binge video of SoaphouseMama

in maniac mode basically killing a kit

(here's the link if you want to check it out and become a fan-

scroll down for video)

(I watched this video several times)

and I decided to do the same - so basically I killed

or mostly wounded my November Studio Calico kit - Canyonland.

And it feels so good - not to have leftovers.
