This scrapbook page has a log going on. It features my
hubby and his dream of being a pilot. This is the second scrapbook page that I
entered in the Artisan Award Contest.

I started off with a 12” x 12” piece of Basic Black card
stock. I cut a piece of the Basic Black text DSP from the Neutrals DSP Stack
11-7/8” x 11-7/8”. I sponged around the edges with Basic Black ink and adhered
it onto the Basic Black card stock.
Next I cut a piece of Midnight Muse card stock 1-1/4” x124”
and sponged one edge with Night of Navy ink. I adhered this strip onto a 1-3/8”
x 12” piece of Basic Gray card stock, then adhered this layer onto a 3” x 12”
piece of Basic Black card stock. Finally this strip was adhered in the center
of the scrapbook page.
The upper right photo was 5” x 7” and was adhered onto a
5-1/8” x 7-1/8” piece of Midnight Muse card stock. I adhered this one directly
onto the scrapbook page. On the left side I cut a piece of Midnight Muse DSP
7/8” x 4” and adhered it onto a 1” x 4-1/8” piece of Summer Starfruit card
stock. I used my Paper Piercer and Stampin’ Pierce Mat to pierce three holes on
the left side of the DSP and added three Silver Brads. I adhered this onto the
page with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Directly below the DSP was a photo that was cut at 3-7/8”
x 3-7/8” and adhered onto a 4” x 4” piece of Pool Party card stock then was
adhered onto the scrapbook page.
I cut a piece of Comfort Café DSP 2” x 6-1/8”. I added my
journaling to this piece in Midnight Muse ink then adhered this onto a 2-1/8” x
6-1/4” piece of Whisper White card stock before adhering it onto the scrapbook
page.
Next I cut a 2” x 3” piece of Whisper White card stock. I
wanted to mimic the sky in the top picture so I brayered on some Pool Party,
then Tempting Turquoise, then Pacific Point ink to create the fade. I allowed
that to dry completely then stamped the image from Word Play onto the card
stock in Versamark ink, covered it with Silver embossing powder, tapped off the
excess, and heated it with my Heat Tool. I adhered this onto a 2-1/8” x 3-1/8”
piece of Summer Starfruit card stock then adhered this onto the scrapbook page
with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The bottom two photos were cut at 4” x 5”. I adhered one
on Summer Starfruit and one on Pool Party that was cut at 4-1/8” x 5-1/8”. The
left was adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the right was adhered directly
onto the scrapbook page with Anywhere Glue Stick.
Finally I wanted to fill in the blank space on the center
stripe so I added some linen thread in one of the large Silver Buttons and tied
it into a bow. I adhered the button onto the page with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
This page definitely took quite a bit of time to create.
But I think it presents my hubby’s dream so perfectly!
