Basketball-Camp-Mom & Dad -- New Layouts

Here is a layout I did with some newspaper clippings of Elias' basketball team last year when they were going to sectional

I embossed the stars with a dark blue, the star stamp is a close to my heart stamp, then painted over them. The whole background is painted with blue and yellow and blended some places to make green. Also used olive glimmer mist on the back ground. The 09-10 was cut using my cricut as a tag and I just cut the end off.

The star was cut out with the cricut then painted.

The chains are just punched out of bo Bunny their Basketball printed paper line using my new Ek success chain punch. Was 40% off at Stampin and Scrappin Time a couple weeks ago.

This was the layout that we did at Crop at Stampin and Scrappin Time 2 weeks ago. The Flower I used some glimmer glam on as well as the chip board letters are painted with glimmer glam a dark blue and a goldish color - sorry i don't know the names of them yet : )

The flowers were stamped with stazon ink in black over the transparent overlay. Then cut the felt leaves I had in half and added them

This next layout I did of my parents is a page map again out of Imagine (the close to my heart book) and the papers I used are also Close to my heart - notebook. I love these papers they are so vintage and already distressed!

Here I used a tattered angels frame and used some glimmer mist on it. I used a stencil and glimmer mist on the back ground. (viva pink and old lace - love these colors!) The tag is just cut out of patterned paper and card stock then I added a piece of jewelry I had bought to it and the "quotes" only paper is the back of one of the patterned papers then I stamped Love using the vintage photo. Added some braided ribbon I had that was cream and a vintage brown color

used an embossing folder to create texture on this piece of card stock then inked it with vintage photo distress ink (my fav). Added some of the old lace glimmer mist then used some black acrylic paint to stamp the words and ink up the edges some.

Here I used glimmer mist on the irresistible chip board piece, then added the happiness which is my stickease from close to my heart. (which are really nice card stock stickers for those of you not familiar with Close to My Heart products) The happiness is, is also a my stickease. Behind that I attached a piece of card stock inked with vintage photo and glimmer misted then punched with a Martha Stewart boarder punch.
