PageMaps - Dusty Attic Chipboard Contest

Anyone up for a game of "Angry-Mitt?" While in Hawaii my parents thought it would be great to put up a net where we could play volleyball & badminton. Once Grandpa showed Sabrina & the rest of the kids how to play....they fell in love with the game! The next morning Sabrina came to me at said...."Who wants to play Angry-Mitt?" I looked at her and said... "What...Angry mitt?" What is she talking about? I asked her a couple of times what she was talking about and when she finally told me...."you know the game where you hit the bird with the racket!" Finally the light bulb in my head went off.....it was BADMINTON! The game of badminton will never be called it's true name again in the Baldwin family! Who wants to play "Angry-Mitt?" I hope you enjoyed the story and the layout as well. I used BoBunny papers and made my own birdie with a piece of plastic canvas I had laying around for a hundred years. I love the new American Craft

Scrap Attack Sketch Contest - Page Maps

Here's my version of the latest challenge. While on vacation with my family in Hawaii my Mom and I would scrapbook every morning and almost every night. I carried along with me a print out of the pagemap challenge and was determined to capture some awesome pictures while on vacation and then post it to my blog. I used a solid white piece of paper and my distress inks to alter the color of the background paper so that it matched the "sea glass" tiles used in the layout. The title was created with Grunge Board letters and distress inks. The large fish was also colored with the distress inks and then sprayed with glimmer mist. I hope you enjoy the layout! Aloha! (Sorry, but the quality of the picture of my layout is not to my normal standards, but what the heck....I'm on vacation! :-) a girls got to do what a girl's got to do. hehehehe! Here's a second version of the layout....just for fun!
