June Masculine Scrapbook Pages

June is Father’s Day so I decided our Scrap & Go pages this month should be masculine looking.  I combined to lake/ocean stamp sets and Night of Navy and Garden Green color combo to create these two pages.

I love the way the pages turned out.  I used the Lilypad Lake Stamp Set and coordinating Lakeside Framelits and Sea of Textures stamp set and Under the Sea Framelits and the Tranquil Textures Designer Paper.

The base of the pages is Garden Green.  I used Night of Navy for the mats and little squares along with Sahara Sand for little mats and Tranquil Textures Designer Paper for banner strip and little squares.  I cut out a sand dollar from Sahara Sand and attached with dimensionals over the Night of Navy Baker’s Twine.  I used Sahara Sand to cut out the net using the Under the Sea Framelits.

On the second page, I stamped waves on two of the designer paper squares and attached the little sail boats from Lilypad Lake that were colored with markers and cut out using the Lakeside Framelits.  I also added a swan and lilypad that were colored with Watercolor Pencils and cut out with the Lakeside Framelits.

I love the way the pages turned out — I think they are great for of your fishing or sailing guys but I also think they work just fine for all of the guys in your life.  I might look for some pictures of my hubby fishing with his dad and brothers to put on these pages or just add some from today as today is his birthday.
Happy Birthday Tony!!!

Peaceful Reflection Hummingbirds

Are there times you look at a stamp set and wonder what to do with it?  At On Stage in April I won the Peaceful Reflection stamp set.  Getting a FREE stamp set is always a wonderful thing but I looked at the images and thought YIKES, what do I do with this.
Peaceful Reflection Stamp Set
Well, turns out it is quite a wonderful set.  The lines images put together create some wonderful pictures.  There are water rings and different flower petals and leaves, a dragonfly and the inside of the leaves looks like a hummingbird.  
This card was a swap from our recent Demo Make & Take.  It is so adorable.

Peaceful Reflection, Just For You, Hummingbirds
Check it out – the inside of the leaves stamp is turned sideways a little and the the partial flower is stamped for the hummingbird wings — rhinestones were added for the eyes.  This is a very sweet and simple card but definitely showcases this stamp set which really is fun to work with.

You Are Wonderful String Art

Oh My Gosh – string art technique is the newest craze.  I’ve seen it all over Pinterest and I just had to give it a shot.  It is so much fun — messy, but fun.  I had a blast seeing all the different images you get with a simple piece of Baker’s Twine.

String Art, Rooted in Nature, Techniques
The supplies are minimal — cardstock, Baker’s Twine, Ink Refill and then any embellishments you wish.  You dip the Baker’s Twine into a puddle of ink refill until the strip is all covered.  Next open an old book or catalog to center, lay Whisper White cardstock down, put tinted Baker’s Twine down in random pattern, lay another Whisper White cardstock over string, close book putting pressure on it and pull string out.  You can do this 2-3 times without putting more ink on the twine.

This card was the second pulling, which is my personal preference.  I stamped You Are Wonderful from Rooted in Nature and tied a small bow in center of 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and center across lower portion of card.
