Creating Memories at it's Best

The Daily News....I created not one LO but several LO's. I don't know how I merged off to just card making, but somehow I got on that card creating boat and stayed on for the ride:)

For this LO, I pretty much let the pattern paper do the trick. There wasn't much I needed to add being that it has so much already going on with it. The pattern paper is from Pink Paislee's Daily Junque collection...as you see I even used the name from the tab of the sheet. Waste not want not you see:) I've often used portions of the strip we remove that describes the pattern paper on my LO, especially MME papers. In creating this LO, I decided to pull "junque" items to use on it. What I mean by junque items is, I used scrap pieces like the magic mesh, the fabric flower I made ions ago and scraps of paper and corragated board.

I found a sheet of Hambly I had that I didn't even know I still had *I heart Hambly*. It's a sheet of multi shaped frames and I cut one and positioned it over one side of my picture.

And of course added spashes of acrylic paints, pearls and bling all over the LO. The wooden letters are also from the Daily Junque collection.

This LO is titled Love to skate..but I Love this LO:) And of course Aaron does too, he even had a little input on my creating this LO. When he saw the clock I added, he asked if I could make it look old and cracked looking...well of course I could.

I used crackle accents liquid adhesive by Ranger. Being that I had already adhered the vellum clock to cardstock, once the crackle was applied and begin to dry the vellum curled at the edges. I loved it even more, because then I could distress the edges more. So I used my paper distresser and added some distressed ink.

And the letter's are cork, found those at Joann's I think it was last year. Sadly they are almost gone...well there are no more words that can be spelled with what I have left. I'm thinking on a way to use up random letters (remember waste not want not:)

I really need to work on journaling more on my LO's. I have the toughest time journaling unless I'm creating a hidden journal, which is usually something written that's personal. I plan on working on my journaling more in the new year, right now I want to concentrate on scrapping as many pictures from 2011 as I can before the year end. In 2012 I want to only scrap from 2012 pictures with the exception of some of my favorite 2011 pictures and Karohn's military book *hangs head in shame* that I've YET to purchase and start on. I'm still working on his regular mini book. I'm getting there...scrap by scrap. I just, maybe a month or two ago placed a HUGE amount of my LO stack into it's proper books. I still have a stack of LO's to file in books. A word to the wise: Never ever let your LO's stack up to HUGE mounds! That was a day's worth of work and I'm still not done...confession: The two above LO's and several other's I've yet to post about are in a stack BUT not for long *I hope*

Happy Crafting!
