I Love Grungeboard

My aim was to scrapbook a page very quickly. For me, this turned into a 48-hour period with lots of ruminating and a little bit of work. That is Marsha's way of doing anything "quickly."

When I started scrapbooking, I vowed that I wouldn't lose focus of the photo on the page. This L/O is busy, isn't it? But I still like it.

The green letters and the pink heart are grungeboard.



Here's a closeup of the grungeboard letters with a dotted texture. I painted them with Sea Foam Specialty Glaze by Making Memories. I want to paint everything with this paint.

I painted the heart with Rose Petal Special Glaze by Making Memories. This particular grungeboard has a diamond pattern to its texture. Here's a closeup:

I almost always paint or cover my own chipboard, but in the above LO, I used colored chipboard stickers--the tall flower and the squiggly things around the picture frame--that are by Euphoria. I work a lot in pink and green. I bought this from the scrapbook store in the Village, Jazzy Crafts.

Some Favorite Scrapbook Pages

Until lately I had been posting scrapbook pages at my other general-topic blog. I have created this blog, exclusively for paper and fabric art.

I include a few of my favorite pages below--to play catch-up. The most current ones are on the top. This picture of my son and his son is maybe my best. This page shows my style which usually includes flowers of some sort, made from either stamps or cut out fabric.

I am also loving chipboard, and I often use UTEE to make it shine. White mulberry paper gives this page a bit of a casual look.



I love this photo of my granddaughter. We posed her on the bed wearing this outfit I bought for her from a hoity toity store in Las Vegas. She was not cooperative, and it was pure grace to get this picture.

These butterflies are cut-out stamps that are colored with gel pens. I made the "princess" letters with my Pazzles.

The kids love watching popcorn come out of the air popper. This photo also features a beautiful bowl that my good friend Cathy gave me.

I used a border punch--that looks awesome, don't you think? The flowers and butterflies are purchased die-cuts and shapes that I punched, topped with a brad. The yellow accessories are a nice change.



My grandson makes the goofiest faces. He loves to try on my glasses. I embroidered the side border using a stencil from Bazzill.



I also embroidered this border using a Bazzill template. The tulips below are stamps that I colored with pencil.

This is my granddaughter who likes to put things on her head, including underwear.
