New Years Resolutions

Hello, all! I have finally gotten back into my scraproom after the holidays and have begun creating again. It feels good to get my hands on some paper after such a long hiatus. I've been working on some DT projects for Scraps of Darkness and a couple of other pages that I can share with you today! The first is a page I entered in the Spellbinders DT Call but alas I did not make the cut! Maybe next time! The second is one that I made for this week's sketch over at Twisted Sketches.

I Remember You...layout. This is a layout I completed for the Spellbinders DT Call. I didn't make it past the first round but maybe next time or another team. This page is about my mother, who passed away when I was 5 years old. I still remember her even after all these years. I used Glitz Design Love Nest Polka paper for the background and a ton of Prima flowers in yellow, red, and black. The two larger flowers are Prima flowers that I used Black Soot reinker to color black. I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities die for the yellow mats of the photos and stamped them with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and various stamps. I also used some rub ons that I had in my stash from a long time ago.

Twisted Sketch #038. The twist for this sketch is "Time" any which way. Plenty of inspiration at Twisted Sketches.

Resolutions layout. I created this layout as the example for my Steampunk challenge over at scrapbook.com. I used sketch #038 from Twisted Sketches for this page. I used some vintage photos to illustrate what I want to accomplish this year. I used my December Scraps of Darkness kit, my Cricut Expression for the gears, Distress Inks in Black Soot and Fired Brick, some metal and chipboard clocks from my stash, and various Thickers in red, white, and black.
