Heritage

Before anything else, this layout is in tribute to my mother who loves all things Victorian.

I have this photo of my mother from when she was in school. It's a tiny photo, about 2 x3. I scanned it, and turned it into a 4 x 6. I was inspired by the sketch at Sunday Sketch & Stamp. Since I wanted to bring out the beauty in this photo, I turned to the Vintage Stamping Challenge. Their theme was feminine beauty.

I finally got to use my Cricut Heritage Cartridge for the silhouette on the top right corner. I cut the title, Mother, from the Circut Sophisticated Cartridge. The dress form is a stamp from my new stamp set, Vintage Threads from TPC Studio. Finally, two leather flowers finish the layout.

Vintage Time Card

Don't forget, ScrapbookerPhD is hosting our FIRST challenge this month. Want to join the party? Click HERE.

Vintage Time Card: This is another "Z" fold card. Although the "Z" card may look complicated, it wasn't because I followed the tutorial video on the YouTube channel cardcrazy09's.




Not sure where to start your project? That's the beauty of a challenge. 

At 365 Cards the challenge was to have someone choose an embellishment for you. 
Tonight, the embellishment chosen for me was a sticker set by by MakingMemories, de-fined set. I used the border sticker sentiments. 

Now what? 

Since C... is for Challenge is hosting a masculine themed card and SImply Steampunk requires monochromatic colors, I went all in here. These challenges defined the color palette, the style, and the types of die cuts that I chose. 




Not sure what Steampunk is? Just wait. We'll have a Steampunk tutorial up soon.
