Royal Kat Tuesday--Red, White and Blue

Welcome to another Royal Kat Tuesday.  You should have come here from Keely's blog, if not, you will want to go back to the Queen Kat Designs Blog

This week we have our Color Challenge to share with you.  Our colors this month are Red, White and Blue.  When I think of this color combo I think of Memorial Day, July 4th, parades and fire works.  I decided to do a scrapbook page as something a little different.

I used the “Birds of a Feather” set and more Happy Stixx on my project.  This time I used the printed word “Dad” and the ends of other sticks I used to write the labels for the other pictures.  The pictures were from our Memorial Day Parade this year and the sentiment reads “That noise you hear is the sound of freedom.”  I think it fits this page perfectly. 

Now hop on over to Erika's blog and don’t forget to stop at the Queen Kat Designs Store to check out the new lines of stamps.

Scrapbook pages

Ok, I have been a very bad blogger. I really have been creating but have not been uploading much lately. Sorry about that.

One of the projects I was working on was a scrapbook for one of my friends. Her husband had commissioned me to make it up and gave me the pictures and that was it. No guidance or direction. It wouldn't have been too bad except that the pictures were of their 18 month old IDENTICAL twins. I should be used to this challenge, but if my pictures are not marked I sometimes have a difficult time telling my own girls apart. My solution was to just put the pictures on the pages and I supplied them with Stampin' Write(r) markers for journaling.

I didn't think of taking pictures of the pages before adding photos....doh! I did make extra pages for the book so those are the ones I am showing here as well as the title page. Since the pictures are not mine, nor are the children I don't feel it is appropriate for me to post them here.

Title Page. Not knowing who was who in the pictures I asked her husband to add the pictures and birth info.





I used Jersey Shore DSP, Crew Kids Simply Scrappin' Kit and Special Delivery Boy Simply Scrappin' Kit by Stampin' Up!(r) to complete most of the pages. I also used the Cricut Design Studio and Cricut Expressions machine to add titles.
