SOUS Die Cut Challenge: Food & Beverage

I cannot believe that Summer is almost done!!! But I cannot complain, we just have been having so much fun this Summer. July is a month full of fun for us that we had awesome cook out on the fourth of July, fantastic weather for playing outside though we had some cloudy and rainy days, road trip, camping and next week we will have VBS at our church. We are thankful for Summer!

Every single moment is worth to remember. One way of remembering our memories is scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking since 2009 after our first baby girl was born. Now she loves seeing her baby book 🙂 I am working on our second baby girl’s book and hoping when she is bigger, she’ll love it too. Then I thought, well… I don’t have yet book about me and my husband. So, I started our first scrapbook album that record our first year memories as husband and wife. That is just the beginning 🙂

Today I would like to share with you one of the page I made for SOUS Die Cut Challenge this week.

This is one of our stories when we went to my hometown and had these local “must eat food” That was Dave’s second time visiting actually, but our first time visiting my family. Scrapping these pictures made me hungry and miss those food 😀 LOL!!!

For our album I used My Crush™ Bluebird Book and Memory Assortment from Close To My Heart. I added some of the Color-Ready Trinkets Wooden Shapes, Chocolate Woodgrain Washi Tape, Honey Triangles Washi Tape, and Silver Geometric Washi Tape.

The banner I embossed a piece of White Daisy Cardstock with Chevron Embossing Folder using my WRMK Evolution Advanced. I cut Cocoa Cardstock for the title using my Silhouette Cameo. I used this free font, Bira font worked well with die cut machine! Do you see that fork, spoon and knife? I found them at Silhouette Online Store designed by Megan Hardy. After I resized them, I cut them from a piece of Champagne Cardstock to match the color with the book page.

So, I have 6 pictures for this limited space and the solution is this awesome Memory Protectors™ Flip Flaps™ Small Assortment! They are Slide photos or other artwork into the pocket and attach the Flip Flap with its adhesive strip. 4 each of 2″ × 2″, 3″ × 3″, 3″ × 4″, and 4″ × 4″.

On this page I use only 2 of the 4″ x 4″ that holds 4 pictures and I added one more picture on the page, there I have 6 pictures on this 10″x7″ page! I added Bronze Shimmer Trim on to cover on the flip flap. I love this Flip Flaps pockets! 😀

It is a challenge for me to create a project that have something that going… what came to my mind when I read the challenge was gotta be related to things that move LOL! And I always in need of Thank You cards, so I created this one for a dear friend…

2014-07-11-sous-diecut-lw

I found this cute scooter from Silhouette Online Store designed by Lori Whitlock. Cardstocks I used for the scooter are Black (from Basic Combo), Sky (from Whimsy Combo), Lagoon (from Adventure Combo), White Daisy. I cut the shapes with my Silhouette Cameo, all at once. Before I put them together, I stamped the diagonal stripes from In The Background (D1540) with Sky Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Z2194) on the layer of the scooter. I put them together using the glue pen.

On a White Daisy Card (X254), randomly I stamped the clouds from Lifting Spirits set (C1570) with Sky Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Z2194).

The banner I picked from one of the banners from Lifting Spirits set (C1570) and stamped it with Black Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Z2105). The sentiment on the banner is from Give A Lift (D1581) which I stamped with Ruby Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (Z2170). I used the Piercing Tool Kit (Z1114) to poke the holes on the back of the scooter and the edge of the banner to tie up the thread. I added everything on the card using 3D Foam Tape (Z1151) for extra dimensional.

This card  is on its way to my friend’s house 🙂

This challenge is fun! I hope you all can join us at SOUS Die Cut Challenge: Going Somewhere this week! We have blog candy for the winner of the month. You are welcome to play as many as challenges you want over SOUS Blog every week to get more chances to win 🙂

Scrapping Everyday Miracles: New Challenge

New month, new challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles, a challenge blog where we are challenged to share God’s miracles and blessings in our lives. It is one way of sharing how gracious and kind God has been to all His children.

This month theme challenge is Create / Creation. The inspiration is from Isaiah 45:18

“For this is what the LORD says — He who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— He says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.”

You may apply this theme in any way you can imagine, create anything you want to, a layout, card, journal page, off the page project, anything. You have until July 17th to post your entry at SEM Blog (link on the right sidebar using the link tool, please link up directly to your blog post or your project).

Here’s my layout for this theme challenge:

The verse I used for the journaling. Our friends were on the way to their new home and passed Ohio. They stayed overnight and we had so much fun. The next day, they gave us these Tiger Lily flower. One had bloomed, one was not yet. My oldest was so excited to see the process of the flower blooming. This remind me of the verse clearly saying the The LORD is the creator, the only one who made the earth, formed it to be inhabited. He created the flowers!

I hope you will join us at SEM Theme Challenge!

Here’s my take on this challenge:

2014-06-27 sous-diecut-inwater

I created this card using my Silhouette Cameo. I found this whale with wave set on Silhoeutte Online Store. Isn’t that cute? The background cloud I stamped the 3 clouds from Lifting Spirits stamp set (C1570) with Sky Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The plane, banner and sentiment are also from the same set. I stamped them with Black Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad and colored the plane with pencil color. Then fussy cut them and I added them on the card with glue dots, the very bottom wave I used 3D foam tape to give extra dimension.

Join us and let’s have fun! Link up your projects at the SOUS Die Cut Challenge! And thank you so much for visiting my blog today!
