Shopping Time was Fun Time

A re-do of a previous page. I worked full-time and we commuted about a hour each way (depending on traffic and weather), so a big part of our quality time was while we were shopping. I used Papertrey Ink's Label Basics and the matching dies except for the large rectangle to the left which required partial inking of a smaller stamp to stamp the corners and then fill in the edges on the sides. The labels were cut from scraps of patterned paper and stamped with Pure Poppy and Aqua Mist inks.

The title was a negative of the original title cut (Cricut, Street Signs Solutions cartridge) used with a foam blender and Salty Ocean Distress Ink. The shopping carts are from My World cartridge spritzed with a shimmery mist and saved from the original layout.

Olive Ewe Card

A sheep from My World cartridge cut from Papertrey Ink's Ripe Avocado with the face cut from Pure Popppy. The edges are distress and then lined with a Sharpie. The grass is made from a torn Papertrey Ink label. The cardbase is Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White cardstock.

Shopping Time

Another layout for my daughter. The shopping carts are from the My World cartridge and sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmermist Artic Blue. The diamond pattern paper (from DCWV Botanicals) reminded me of the floors in older grocery stores. I really liked the contrast between my handwriting and the clean lines of the font and grocery carts. The font is cut with the Street Sign Solutions cartridge. The shopping carts are on the front of a pocket so I can add stories as they come to mind.

I stamped the tags with a background stamp from Papertrey Ink's Beyond Basics: Retro and their Chamomile Tea ink. It broke up the solid blue and provided journaling lines. I also used it to ink the edges of the tags.
