Father's Day Blog Hop





Welcome to the "Father's Day" Blog Hop!  

We're so happy you could join us today to honor Fathers, Brothers, Sons, Uncles or any other man who has been a great influence in our lives!
 You should have arrived from Ashley's Blog .  If you happened by my blog or are joining me from your dashboard, head over to Miranda's blog to start at the beginning.  
We don't want you to miss any of the fun! 


In addition to seeing a lot of awesome projects, there is some blog candy available too.  Miranda will be giving away a Michael’s or JoAnn's gift card (winner's choice).  To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment!  
The winner will be announced Wednesday, June 19th on Miranda's blog! 

For my Project, I made a 12x12 Lay out of My dad and I at my High School Graduation.

I forgot to take a picture before I put the title on, but I have layered my photo on a layer of White card stock, blue card stock, and a black Chevron patterned paper, I just eye balled and hand cut these to add some interest.

 The title is made out of Foam letter stickers made by the Paper Studio and I have to tell you, I LOVE THEM!! I got them at Hobby Lobby for 50% off and I love them.



For the rest of the title I used some silver paper studio letters that I had in my stash.

I layered a journaling card on a layer of blue paper, to keep with my color scheme.

I recently got these adorable Pebbles stamps at Hobby lobby and I thought the Dad and Daughter ones were perfect, so I embossed them on black card stock with white Embossing powder and then cut them out and layered them on some blue card stock.

In the top and bottom corners I added these Flourishes with Liquid Pearls by Ranger in Pearl White. (I'm still getting the technique down so they're not always neat and perfect)
To finish my lay out I made some large photo corners. I cut triangles from some blue card stock and punched the paw print, (my High School mascot was the Panther) then layered that on white card stock. For the one on the photo I added a layer of black too.

 Should you get lost along the way, here is the entire line up:

8.5x11" Wedding Lay Out

The beginning of my lay out is white card stock at 8.5x11" I layered some patterned velum cut 1/4" smaller on top. The border was punched with a fiskars punch out of silver card stock.

I made photo corners out of silver card stock and a pearl. I used these on all 4 corners of my velum.
I cut my photo mat 1/4" larger than my photo. I rounded all the corners, the picture too. I embossed the photo mat with the Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used foam tape to add the picture to the lay out. The chipboard is from my stash, I don't remember where it came from.
 I had some chipboard letters in my stash that I colored with silver Tim Holtz Metalic Mixatives.

My Card today is a boy card that I had a blast making.
I dug through my scrap files and found this Christmas paper that could be used for other things. My Card base is white card stock and the card is A2 sized or 4.25 x 5.5" The red layer is 4 x 5.25"

This is a digi stamp that I've had forever and I wish I could remember where I got it from, but I colored and cut him out taking his legs and arms off. 


I replaced the arms and legs some jewelry wire.
 This is the inside of my card, I wanted to leave it fairly blank since I don't know who will receive it. I used Azure and Crushed Olive Staz On Ink.
This is my finished card, I adhered the monster with foam tape and I added a Happy Birthday Banner.

Family Matters 8.5x11" 2 page lay out

This is a Lay Out I did for my Dad of his family and his childhood. 
Both of the pages start off with black Recollections card stock and orange hounds tooth patterned paper from Paper Studio. The patterned paper is cut at 8.25 x 10.75"
 I cut the title from the Cutting Up Cricut Cartridge. I layered the orange over the black card stock.
I layered all the photos on black card stock I thought it made them black and white photo's pop a little. 

Thanks for stopping by please come back again soon ~ Carla

My Project for today is a Card I made.


This card was made with an INKADINKADO stamp and Tinsle Gold embossing powder by Ranger.
I mounted the stamped image on Green Card stock.
I decided to emboss the greeting inside with the same Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder. I combined two stamps to make this greeting.

I decided to add the manger scene at the bottom of the inside of the card so it wasn't so blank.
I used the same patterned paper for the front cover as I did for layering behind the greeting inside. I added the plaid ribbon and bow to the front.
I added the angel with some foam tape and embossed the Peace on Earth greeting stamp from Anna Bee Designs Joy to The World stamps set. 

 Thanks for hopping by make sure you hop on over to Tammy's Blog to see what she's made for you today.

2 Page 8.5x11" Graduation Lay Out

The lay out I'm sharing today is from my High School Graduation. 

My high school mascot was a Panther so I found a paw print punch in my stash so I punched around the edge of the back card stock cut at 8.25X10.75".

I layered the black card stock on some white Card stock and then layered some blue paper I stamped with a swirl stamp in blue StazOn ink.
I used the Cuttin Up Cricut Cartridge to cut the letters and the shadows 


This is the picture of our Graduating class. I went to a small Christian School. I mounted the photo to a white photo mat and journaled around the photo.
This is me walking into Graduation. I mounted this on a white photo mat to match the other one.
This is my final 2 page lay out. I choose to journal on a black piece of card stock with a white gel pen and mounted that on a white mat layer. 

Thanks so much for stopping by please come back again soon~ Carla
