Fabulous is right!!! I love this! I really like the popsicle stick--I think it makes it extra unique and rustic, KWIM? Great job!

I think this is gorgeous Monica. What a great way to use your husband's pics. My DH is also a wonderful photographer and I've been trying to think of ways to scrap his pics-- this is a great idea! :)

October

This was for Carrielyn's Challenge Week #3. We had to use Non Scrapping Supplies.

Todd has soo many beautiful pictures. I want to scrap them as well.. SO, I have decided for his mom, I am going to make a calendar for Xmas next year.

I used:
Gray Textured Cardstock: Unknown
Black Cardstock: Fiskars
Font: SF Remember
Brilliance Pigment Ink: Tiramisu

NONSCRAPPING SUPPLIES:
****Heads of ACTUAL Nails:(Used Bolt cutters to cut the nail off)
****Popsicle Stick

First I tore the Graycardstock.. THEN, I sanded all over. Then, I attached the black cardstock. I also inked the edges and torn edges with the ink.
Then, after cutting the nailheads off the nails, I used the ink to make them look old/worn as well.
Popsicle stick: I inked with the ink, then, took rubbing alcohol and rubbed it. After drying it, I then broke the popsicle ends off. Then I inked the popsicle stick again..

I cant decide, if I want to take the popsicle stick off or leave it on. What do you girls think? I had originally wanted to do something different with a bunch of the popsicle sticks. But, it didnt look right..

Then, I wanted Todd's signature in it as well. Since it is his picture. I had him sign his name. Then the date: 16 October 2004.
Then, Stanton, United Kingdom where it was taken.

I am rather happy with it, other than deciding if I wanted to leave the popsicle stick or not.
Thanks For Looking!
