Artisan Award Winners Blog Hop #6

Hello and happy Monday :0) Welcome to our blog hop. This week we'll start by featuring our scrapbook pages and then finish with our 3-D projects. My post today has a photo of my scrapbook page thanks to SU! One of their photographer's helped me greatly by sending me pictures of my projects, so I must publicly thank Casey Hyer for his time and effort to help me.



This page was the first page that I completed for the Artisan Contest. If you remember I told you last week that I was inspired at the World Market Gift Show in Las Vegas with all kinds of ideas for stamp projects. This page was inspired by a woman I saw who was scantly clad in a "working girls" ensemble. She was wearing this black tank top which was layered under all these huge white piaette sequins. I immediately knew how I could translate her top into a page layout. And so, 18 metal edge tags later I had a layout for my brother's annual beach pose. Each tag has a piece of white cardstock which has been texturized and shimmered up to bring a subtle hint of detail to the page. They then are tied together using linen thread. For the title of the page I used three different packages of chipboard letters. Not because I wanted to load up the page with product, but because of necessity. You see I didn't have all the same letters in one style.

I don't know if anybody gets my humor, but the journaling on this page makes me laugh. It reads,"Once a surfer dude always a totally awesome off the wall like to the max surfer dude." I had a brief trip down memory lane to high school.

Here is the recipe for this page:
Neutrals Textured, Basic Black, Whisper White, & Not Quite Navy Cardstocks
Soft Suede, Not Quite Navy, Garden Green, Brocade Blue Classic, & Versamark Inks
Clear Embossing Powder
Extreme Surfboard Stamps
On Board Lots of Letters
5/8” Neutrals Jumbo Brads
Metal Edge Tags
Linen Thread
1/16” Hand Held Circle Punch
SU! Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder
Frost White Shimmer Paint (mixed with rubbing alcohol & sprayed)
Dimensionals
