ODBDLYLS18 - Something New

The Monthly Scrapbook Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs is an inspiration photo and using something new on a layout along with your ODBD stamps. 

Here is my layout for this month's challenge: 

I used the new Bicycle set along with the Honeycomb, Wood Background.  The papers are from the Bo Bunny Garden Collection. The flowers are a mix of Prima, and My Moments.

The background panel is stamped using gray ink and the wood grain background stamp.  I sponged the edges with brown dye ink.
The main panel is the lovely Bo Bunny Garden collection with a random stamping of the Honeycomb background in a brown dye ink.

I had the leftover circle in my scrap pile and I stamped over it with the wood grain and thought it would be fun to make it look like the bicycle wheel. So I hand drew in the spokes and added a gear in the middle.

The vintage image is a couple of cuties colored with a touch of distress inks.  The bicycle is stamped using black ink and colored with a combination of watercolor pencils, distress inks and a water brush.
The banners on the top were remnants from the paper and I couldn't resist adding them in for a little detail along the top.

The rest was adding a touch of lace and flowers.

ODBDLYLS16 Layout Challenge - Garden Recipe

This month the ODBD scrapbook challenge is a garden recipe.You still have time to play along as the challenge goes until the end of the month!

My layout features wood, green grass, and flowers: 

The layout is 9" x 9".  The ODBD Products Used: Dog Sympathy.

The background is some lovely paper from the 7 Dots Studio with a smearing of dye inks on the surface around the edges to create the effect of the woodgrain.

The image and sentiment are from the new release and worked perfectly for me on my layout as Emma our youngest dog is a beagle mix and looks a lot like the sweet puppy in the set.  I took a picture of my son playing with Emma outside as my focal point.   I created a faux dog house.  (This took several tries to get the proportion correct).  The new release from ODBD is for those of us who have pets or want to share a sympathy card with people who have lost their family pet.   I was happy to scrap this sweet picture of Zac and Emma! 

For all the details visit the ODBD blog.  For more inspiration go see Lisa's wonderful layout!

ODBDLYLS13 - Faith & Love

The ODBDLYLS13 Challenge this week is to use a lovely inspiration photos with hues of blue, grey and a pop of red.  I  have this lovely new set Never Give Up from Our Daily Bread Designs that has this beautiful cross which had me pulling out some old photos of my uncle's first communion. 

 

The picture is of my grandfather, grandmother, my mom (in the adorable coat and hat) and her older brother and younger brother.  She actually had two more brothers who weren't born yet. :)

I used that as my focal point and scattered the cross across the background with touches of blue glimmer mist.  The sentiments are from the ODBD God's Love set and Faith.

Products: Prima, My Moments, Recollections flourishes, Ranger Dye Ink - Stormy Weather, Ranger Archival Ink, Glimmer Mist - Jazz Blue, s and lace trims.

I decided to create a second layout based on the inspiration using some pictures from my mom's first communion.

 I used the ODBD sets used include: Never Give Up, Brocade Background, Sweet William Small, and Easter Blessings.

The flourishes are Zva and the paper is Enchanted by Bo Bunny. The background is a mix of stamping the brocade background and smearing white paint and sponging blue dye ink.

Happy Tuesday to you!
