Documentary Cream Kit 9th & Final Page Road Trip Silence

Documentary Cream Kit

9th and Final Page

Road Trip Silence

This is my final page for this kit.  I am very proud of all that I was able to create.  And I did them all over one weekend, which was pretty nice.    

This photo is around 15 years old.  We would take road trips from TX to AZ driving straight through.  It made it rough on the kids so there were many ways to entertain them.  We had a small portable TV with VHS (way before vehicles equipped with built in video monitors and DVDs).  Occasionally, I would hear silence.  It meant one of two things.  They were either being sneaky and up to no good, or they were asleep.  YES!!  Sleepy heads.

I actually scraplifted SBC SketchCrew Lyne's LO

Here is what I have left of my kit.

I put all of this toward to Documentary White Kit and added more elements as you will soon see.

Dcumentary Cream Kit #8 Do You Mind?

Documentary Cream Kit #8

Do You Mind?

I love this diagonal line of this layout.  I swoom over those alphas by Fancy Pants Life is Beautiful.  Reminds me of a calico kitty we used to have.  And speaking of kitty, here she is.  If you have a cat, I know you can relate.  They don't want anything to do with you until you start reading a book or work on your laptop.  Yep, that's what was happening.  She made herself nice a cozy right in the middle of the keyboard.  Excuse me, do you mind?  I used a couple tags, which are really difficult for me to do.  And there is that cute little frame and yes, there is a flair that I got at Tuesday Morning some time ago.

Documentary Cream Kit #7 Love That Face

Documentary Cream Kit #7

Love That Face

This is one of my favorite pages I made from this kit.  I like the layering and the sketch and that precious photo of my daughter.  The layers didn't show up very well, even with inked edges so I used one of the black cs papers to make a small border around all layered edges.  I used three different fonts for the title and a cute, cute, cute flair.

This sketch is fantastic.  I am sure I will use it again and again.

Documentary Cream Kit #6 Hello 8th Grade

Documentary Cream Kit #6

Hello 8th Grade

The background is a wheat colored cs that I got in one of my Scrap-Room kits.  This easy grid page came together so nicely.  The black and cream paper zigzag paper was gutted so I could use it as one of the grids.

Another great sketch from Scrapbook Challenges.

Documentary Cream Kit #5 Summer Concerts

Documentary Cream Kit #5

Summer Concerts 2016

Continuing using up my stash in the kit I made.  I felt the triangles on this cream base paper was rather subdued, kinda looks like teepees which reminds me of camping which reminds me of summer.  And that is how I decided to use this paper for a summer photo!  The green patterned paper that is the border was something I had pulled from my stash.  All other papers were from Documentary.  Touches of gold in the doily and the glitter enamel dots.

The photo is me and my friend at one of the many summer concerts that we have in my area.  We go once or twice a week, brave the heat and listen to local bands.  I didn't realize how much I loved live music until I moved to Denton.

This is the sketch that I used.  I didn't use the large circle element.  One of the layers on the left I used a kraft/red dot bag.  Sponged black distressed ink around edges.  Using up the black glitter thickers.

Documentary Cream Kit #4 Mohawk Braid

Documentary Cream Kit #4

Mohawk Braid

I was totally inspired by Meaghen Calder page that I saw on Paper Issues on 8/23/16.  Her page was soft colors and two photos.  Mine, the opposite.  I printed a 3x4 photos of my daughter's Mohawk braid that I French braided (so don't look too close).  The cream colored cs is textured cs that I got in a paper pack from Michael's last year.  The wood grain and the black and white polka dot papers are the only papers from the Documentary papers.  Instead of a second photo I used the 4x6 card that I had from the kit, adding those gel thickers that look like rocks.  I added three butterflies, a couple of tags (that I don't use often enough).  I should mention that the black and white strip on the bottom is washi tape.  India ink sprinkled diagonally.

Thank you Meaghen for the awesome inspiration and helping me to deplete my stash.

Documentary Cream Kit #3 Love Life

Documentary Cream Kit #3

Love Life

I absolutely fell in love with this patterned paper.  I felt I needed to anchor the title by adding a thin strip of gray paper.  The Love Life words I got at Tuesday Morning 6 months ago or so.  Used two more frames.  The flowers are from Documentary line, that I picked up last week at Michael's.  The round button that says 'you are' is really a wooden sun shape and a paper die cut.  I did get out a stamp set by Winnie & Walter and stamped 'sparkle' on the tag in the top left corner.  I sprinkled black India ink diagonally (which in the way my mind works) to finish it off.

The photos are all the same pic that I made into a film strip.  I love that face!

No sketch for this page.  

Thank you for stopping by, seeing how I am depleting my stash.
