040116 Archi-scraps April Challenge

BOLD. Graphic. Polka dots...

I find this building fascinating on many levels.

It's obviously an upcycle of some kind of shipping/storage containers,

which can actually be a very economical way to create a structure.

When I look at the surrounding landscape (including the pavement 

where this seems to be "parked") I begin to get very curious!

And then, obviously, there are those gigantic hot pink dots - on black, none the less!

I found a number of pages in my scrappy inspiration files that had dots or circles,

but ultimately that riot of dots with a large dose of black won the day.

The hot pink heart & a few other accents are a nod to that color in the inspiration.

The photo of baby Addie in polka dot socks started the whole thing off!

All of the dotted papers, including the tissue, came from my Felicity Jane 

kit stash, as well as the striped bag matting the photo & holding the journaling.

There are a few little nods to the telephone theme, including the cute little October Afternoon telephone card at the bottom & a telephone dial punched from an OA 9 to 5 paper. 

I've stamped the date of the photo where the telephone number would appear on the dial.

Everyone loves polka dots! The latest prompt #206 over at Whimsical Musings 

is to scrap with polka dots, so link up over there as well.

021616 CKC February Challenge #3

Challenge #3:  Say What Challenge...

Pick a quote or a fun family saying and base your project on that!

My daughter sent me a funny video of my grandson the other day.
I couldn't quite understand what he was saying at the end.
When she told me,  a scrapbook page was born!

I used a few of the journaling cards in my "International Romance" February CKC kit.
The photo mat "love this love this love this" is a 3x4 journaling card cut to stretch it across.
I think Master Forger did this on a page, so I guess I've counterfeited her, lol ;-)
It's a great way to use up all of those cards that accumulate so rapidly. Layers, people!
I fussy cut some items from October Afternoon's "Library Card" paper in one of my spare 8x8 pads.

In this "Time Capsule" episode of Peppa Pig they create a video for posterity.
She says, "Hello to the future! hee hee", so now whenever they videotape Lincoln, that's his line!

The grandkids just crack. me. up.

Thanks for stopping by!
