Music Scrap Page

My husband and I decided to rock out with my nephew after his graduation! LOL!
For the upper right hand music note I used a brass embossing plate and just sponged black ink and then topped it off with a little shimmerz. I couldn't help myself I gotta add a little something but I still think it is manly! And next to it in fine print is a stamp saying rock on multiple times with stars between each phrase.
The stickers are popped up for dimension and I added a bit of tissue tape across one of the photos for added interest. Oh and I also used some 3D white enamel accents to add dots every so often on the flourishes. Let me know what you think....I'm still trying to get used to making scrap pages! There is ALOT more area to work with than a card and sometimes that seems difficult, but so far I am happy with what I have done.

Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - Out with the old (tissue tape, shimmerz)
Delicious Doodles - New (used new items like stickers and 3D white enamel, also new techniques like sponging ink into brass embossing plate)

Vintage Santa 2!

Stamp is from Paper Inspirations

This is the same stamp that I used for Red Santa last week but wanted to make it more vintage feeling so tried black and vintage photo. Used a bit of raffia and that was all....I really like how this CAS card turned out! The best part is this can be reproduced quickly! :)

Introducing...........TASTY TUESDAY!!

I didn't make any New Years Resolutions but instead I am going to make a list of small and big goals. One of my small goes is this idea. Last year I shared some recipes with you and everyone seemed to enjoy that so this year I thought I would dedicate one day a week to posting a new recipe. So every Tuesday will be TASTY TUESDAY!! :) Let me know what you think!!

Now for todays recipe!
Layered sundried tomato and artichoke spread

* Wanted to add that we tried this heated up and all mixed together and hubby and I both thought it tasted even better! *

You can find the recipe HERE courtesy of Kraft Foods!
