There would be no PASSION........

This is my entry for the August Cyber Crop at Ready Set Scrap. This months theme was Holiday Escape. Lexie has packed her bag and is off to...ITALY

My entry is called 'There would be no PASSION........'

The journaling says 'There would be no PASSION in this world if we never had to fight for what we love!

All criteria met: White cardstock and everything else on layout is RED. I cut myself out of a 6x4 photo and have used the word passion in my title.

I fringed a piece of red material everything else used = bits and pieces from my stash.

I hope you like my layout, thanks Lexie for the inspiration :)

************************************************

Here are the details of Lexie's Challenge:

Italians have such passion for everything
They are the most passionate race of people I know
And as you know the colour of passion is RED
For this challenge I would like to see white cardstock as your base
But everything else on your LO must be red
Photo can be black or white or coloured but must not be any bigger than a 6x4
And the words Passion/Passionate must be in your title

Here is Lexie's sample.

Apart from the stars and stripes I have the following stipulations that I want to see ...

Your photo(or photos) must have some alterations
eg. cut-outs, rounded corners, selective colouring etc.

I want to see some layers!

I want to see some metal on your project
eg. pins, staples, brads, eyelets etc

I want to see some tearing and some distressing

and lastly, I want to see some paint, even if it's just a drop!

Have fun!

Below is my entry 'Vote 1 for Adam'

I decided to go the whole American theme for this layout, called 'Vote 1 for Adam'

Criteria:
Stars = 3 red
stripes = Stiped pp and Stripes on flag
Photo alterations = rounded corners
Layers = 4 layers of pp
Metal = staples and metal edged tag(Vote 1 election badge)
Tearing and Distress = around all pp's
Paint = white stars on flag (Jo Sonyas' Titanium white paint)

I used satin material to make the Curvey red decorations along the top of the page and added yellow stars. I cut the elongated flag from Cardstock added the "Uncle Sam' hat and two American icon pics (Uncle Sam and Statue of Liberty)
I made the election badge from metal edge tag from Stampin' UP! and covered it in cardstock and added the white lettering.
Used a picture of Adam taken at kindergarten in 1984.

Really enjoyed putting this layout together thanks AM for the great challenge.

Cry baby

This is a layout I did, that I was going to enter for the Songbirds July Design Team Call. I decided not to enter, as it was around the same time that I took over the ARTastic challenge site. I got my inspiration from the lyrics Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen.

I love this photo of Keira, I have used it before. I used the lyrics:
This thing called love
Called love
It cries like a baby
In a cradle all night

And a close up!

Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love

This thing called love
I just can't handle it
This thing called love
I must get around it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This thing called love
Called love
It cries like a baby
In a cradle all night
It swings, it jives
It shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love
There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool, cool, sweat

Squeegee Sisters

This is layout I did for my Stampin' UP! stamp club get together last month.

It was designed by Sam (Samantha), who put this together for our class. It's a fairly easy layout , using all Stampin UP! product. We were all asked to bring a black and white photo to use...... Thanks Sam, you did a really great job and every one was pleased with their finished layouts.

Here is mine called "Squeegee Sisters"

The only thing not Stampin' UP! that I used were the large white brads in the centre of the flowers!

Thats my neice Tash when she was a baby.... ain't she cute!!

Got carried away and forgot to use a black and white photo, Oh well, you can hardly tell, its not a very colorful photo anyway, so if you all squint and imagine its black and white, I might just get away with it!!

The After Party and more........

Hi Ladies,

How are you all feeling this morning. I, myself are a bit weary, stayed up far tooo late partying on at the Red Carpet Premier afterparty at 'From Screen to Scrap'. It was great rubbed shoulders with a few calebs, drank far too much, talked far to much (throat is a bit croaky this morning) but hey, I'm here and ready to put up the next Quiz.

.... and ladies guess who was buying me drinks all night, this strange looking man with red hair sticking out everywhere and wearing this huge top hat..............Funny though.... every time he went up to the bar, he brought me back a steaming hot cup of tea....... couldn't work that one out!!!
I think he had had too muny cups of tea cause during the course of the night he kept checking out the time on this huge fob watch and kept muttering something about...the queen, not being late, a white rabbit and Alice..... sorry!!! ..............no mans going to put one over this little black duck......So when he asked me to come back to his luxurios apartment at the end of the night for more Tea (what he thinks I'm stupid!!) I quietly declined and slipped out the back, down a rabbit burrow.............

so here goes.................. this one is easy peasy.............
