Sam's Scrapbook Process : Day of the Dead

So today hasn't been the best as we said final farewells to my Nan who passed away last Friday and between then and today has been the longest week waiting for the funeral!

The day went as well as expected but when I came home I just wanted to distract myself so sat in craftroom and with fresh photos of my Nieces from Halloween sitting on desk I thought I would scrap them.

The first layout is Amelia dressed as a Corpse Bride dragging her groom to the alter which will be me and Adam if he doesn't get his finger out and let me book our wedding only been waiting 11 years :-) Her face painting is very Day of the Dead so that's where initial inspiration came from. If I was very brave and not a chicken I'd get a sugar skull tattoo ... shhh don't tell mam lol! 31 year old and not allowed a tattoo!

Inspiration for page 

The digital kit I used was the Day of the Dead doodles by Kate Hadfield

The sugar skull is just from google and glitter and gem letter stickers from the poundshop.

Thanks for taking the time to look and any comments left xx
Its much appreciated.

"KennyK Digital Downloads" August 2015 YTLH©

Hey all

If you go over to You tube you can follow along with the YouTube Layout Hop.

Inspiration came from page Inkie Quill made:

Here is the page I have made:

For my layout I used the Retro Selfie  digital image which I feel in love with as soon as I saw as I am addicted to taking selfies and retro pin-ups! I will let you into a little secret I tried to do my hair like this and was going to try and take some retro selfies myself but I will just say I hate my hair as it never co-operates! So these are some daft selfies I took while board at work on my own!

I used the photobooth app on bighugelabs.com for my photo booth strips. The Polaroid images were just off google.

I also made some cards with some of the other digital images.

Retro Selfie

Drama Queen

Breast Cancer Fighter

I used this image for a friend at work who was big in going to the gym and she was leaving to start a new job.

Smart Aleck 

I was going for a comic real on these cards and I added the text boxes myself on paint. I absolutely love these ones and they make awesome male birthday cards! I think I may have to purchase the others in same collection.

Theme for this month is using digital images from one of our sponsors KennyKdownloads

Sam's Scrapbook Process : Hoochie #pawgustart‬

I will be joining in the Creative Arts Collaboration again this month and the hashtag is #pawgustart‬ so anyone who loves animals and art is going to need to tune in for this months virtual art festival!

As most of you know I am a mother of 4 fur babies so this is definitely up my street!

So my first project is a scrapbook process video which unfortunately got cut short I was trying out a new camera and it ran out of memory before I realized I finished my page! I am not sure on the camera angle either so let me know what you think!?

Inspiration/Scraplift from Nina Ostermann:

So this was my cat Hooch who had to sadly be put to sleep Nov 2014 and I still get up sad looking at his pictures as he was my favorite and I think he thought I was his mother! My mams friend found him in 1996 an extremely small and frighted kitten in a back alley. As my family had a few cats she brought him to us and he never left my side for 18 years.

I realized I had never scrapped a picture of him! I came across this photo from a few years back of him sitting with his tongue out. It was cute as when he would groom himself his tongue sometimes would get dry and not go back into his mouth so I would have to push it back in for him!

He was called "Hooch" and not after Turner and Hooch as most of you will think! If your from the UK there is an alcoholic drink called Hooch. No I am not a recovering Alcoholic all our cats have always been named after drinks - Pepsi, Cola, Whiskey, Hooch, Becks, Brandy and Coke. 

I used to call him "Hoochie Poochie" (I know he is not a dog but it rhymed, ok?)

Used:
Paper - 4heures37 - 6 Impasse Des Chenes


Grace Taylor Modern Cabin Stickers
American Crafts Remarks - Chickadee
Cat Die cuts (free with magazine ages ago)
Paper Doily
Webster Pages Alison Kraft Photo Corners

OMG I am waffling on tonight! Stay tuned for tomorrow's project which involves the dogs!

Remember search google, twitter and Youtube for #pawgustart Aug 20th through to 22nd.
