Happy weekend!! Yay!! I can not tell you how glad I am that it is the weekend!! I had a crazy week and I am exhausted!!
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the Wags 'n Whiskers blog hop yesterday! It's still going on until tomorrow, so if you haven't hopped along...you still have time!
Now it's time for the Scrap and Stamp Saturday Challenge!! And I am so happy to say that Regina is back!! I didn't mind covering the challenges...but this week we have a tutorial on the blog (make sure to check it out) so I am so glad that I didn't have to do that post!! LOL
So let's get to the challenge...
This week's challenge is to use paint. The Design Team used paint on their layouts in many different ways. Jowilna created a paint resist tutorial...so go check that out on the blog. I used crackle paint on chipboard.
Here is my layout...
First off I have to say that this stamp I used, Beach Bum Miles from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, is PERFECT for this layout!! When I saw this stamp from this release, I just knew it was time to scrap these pictures!! I have closer shots of these pictures below.
Anyway, last summer we stayed over my Brother-in-law's house while we were in town closing on our house. The kids and I spent a lot of time at the pool and the beach. So by the time these pictures were taken, Ryan had a nice tan going. He really tans quickly. So...Uncle Marc started a game of throwing the kids in the air. Every time he threw Ryan, his pants would fall down!! I finally got these pictures!! So cute!!
Here's Beach Bum Miles...he is embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
Here's a close up shot of the chipboard..
I inked up the chipboard with Turquoise ink then added Clear Crackle Paint. After it dried, I added more ink and also some chocolate chip ink to bring out the crackle a little better.
Here are the digital pictures that were used in the layout...
Ok...now it's your turn!! Let's see some paint on your layout. You can frame your pictures with archival safe paint, paint up some chipboard like I did, add a background with paint to ground your picture, or stamp with paint...use paint instead of ink! Just remember that you must use at least one stamp on your layout to be entered into the drawing for the prize from this week's sponsor.
Don't forget that the newest Wags 'n Whiskers stamps are now available in digi and limited rubber!!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
