6x6 Class - Week 6 LOs

[pbp908]

I honestly tried to sew on this one, which is what prompted me to purchase stamps and rub-ons. Color is terrible on the photo, but the background paper is Kraft which matches one of Tiger's colors.

Cute, cute, cute!

Yes, stitch stamps & rub-ons save a tremendous amount of frustration!

Love this, Pam! Did you use a single collection/paper pad for your stripes, and may I ask what it is?
Here's a stamping trick I learned years ago that looks like sewing: if you've got one of those tracing wheels used to transfer marks to fabric, you can run that over your inkpad to pick up the ink, then run it along your paper to transfer the marks. I just usually sew, but it's an effective way to get the lines if you don't have an appropriate stamp.

Super cute!! Love it.

Keitha, the papers I used were a mixture. As far as I can remember I used PinkFresh and Vicki Boutin. There may be one more in there but I've torn most of my 6x6 and 6x8 papers out of the pads and don't really remember what came from where.

Yeah, PinkFresh for sure, now that you say it. Thanks, Pam.

I had to stop myself. Kept wanting to add more!

Here is mine for this week. I used "Game On" from Webster's Pages. I'm trying hard to whittle down that stash. Our family time is usually piling on the couch watching movies, so this outing to go play mini golf during Christmas Break was kind of a rare moment.

One of the things I'm learning from this class is that I'm not loving the re-assembly of these tiny papers against a stark background. So I used two more 6x6s side by side on the lower half to complete the page.

[pbp908]

Love both of these!

I'm not a big fan of the stark either, which is why I've been using a lot of different backgrounds, splatters and embellishments. To tell the truth, I'm not fond of a lot of the LO sketches and went off the rails for the next one. And yes, I'm trying to work ahead. One of Pam's LOs that she posted recently is my inspiration for #8, which may be a total CASE. I trying to work ahead because it's crazy for the next few months. This week is busy busy as I'm horse sitting and they take a lot of my time twice a day - feeding, cleaning stalls, health checks, etc. Anyone need some organic fertilizer??? And then there's the herb garden which is going fairly crazy already.

Why did I retire?????

This week was the first week I've done the layout the week of. While I was at it, I completed the next two weeks as well. I feel like next week is severely lacking in embellishment, but that's something I'm really struggling with with these small papers - many of the pads/collections I have are collections I don't have embellishments for. And trying to pull embellishments from other collections or making them myself are somewhat of a brain block for me. And looking ahead to week 9, I realized I need some little baseball stickers. Or maybe I need to attempt to cut some tiny baseballs with my cricut. But anything smaller than an inch is really tricky (and that layout is just a mosaic of 30 little 1" squares).

I worked through all 20 weeks to find photos that I could print in the right sizes for each sketch, but I didn't go through and choose papers for each one. I think I might need to do that soon so that I can figure out where I'm lacking in embellishments and do a Michaels run to fill in the gaps.

Here is mine, I used the same bunch of papers all the way across the top.
Pictures are smaller than I like but this is done.

I really like that color palate, Jill. I think it goes well with the photos and has a nice beach vibe.

[pamcook]

Very nice Jill!

[jmp1022]

Thank you ladies.

We have so many fun pages here.

[pbp908]

I just found out that the site doesn't like my VPN!

Great job, Jill! The colors are wonderful.

I don't think I've actually used the recommended photo sizes for any of my LOs other than one I did for next week. My stash of 6x6 papers is slim, so this is turning into quite a challenge for me.
