The DiPenta Project: Part 4 {Military}~

Today with the DiPenta Project I am showcasing layouts that feature a Military Theme.
If you missed my previous posts about the DiPenta family project that I have been working on you can find them here:

The first layout is a double layout. There are closer shots of both sides of the layout a little later.
Some of you may already know how hard it is to find patterned paper and embellishments that suit Canadian Military photos. Most military embellishments out there are very red, white and blue.
I knew going in that I would be creating using more generic patterns, and adding lots of texture instead.


For this layout I used a neutral map patterned paper, and added in texture using May Arts Ribbon, cork and brads. I even recreated a red, white and blue medal embellishment with ribbon.



I also found some great vintage vellum embellishments from Tim Holtz.



I had these great cork letters in my stash, which really seem to work.



My second single page layout features photos of Paratroopers.
I kept with a similar colour theme.


I used a gold metal tape to add a little shine.



Lots of tags, and more of those vellum embellishments.


Thanks so much for stopping by to check out more of the DiPenta Project!

My Creative Scrapbook: August Reveal Day #1~


It is that time again!! The summer months are quickly slipping away!
I hope everyone has been enjoying some nice weather, where ever you might be. Plus, I hope you are out making those memories and taking taking lots of photos to document later!

This month I got to design with 2 of My Creative Scrapbook's beautiful kits. So I decided that I would showcase one layout from each kit to begin this month's reveals.
My first layout is created using August's Main Kit.



Main Kit:
Carta Bella's Soak Up the Sun collection: patterned paper, chipboard stickers
Pink Paislee's Atlas collection: patterned paper, intsa kit and stickers
Heidi Swapp Wood Veneer Words
Ribbon


This layout in particular is made using mainly the Pink Paislee, Atlas collection of patterned papers and embellishments.



Once I saw the collection I knew I had at least one perfect photo to scrapbook with it. Days earlier we took this photo at the airport of Margaret just before she was to get on a plane to head to Quebec for french camp.


This second layout is created using the Creative Kit.



Creative Kit:
Fancy Pants Designs' Summer Fun collection: patterned paper, flair, brag cards, gold foil paper and letters
My Mind's Eye's On Trend collection: patterned paper
Dear Lizzy Embellishments
Clothespins
Ribbon


This collection has fabulous hints of gold, which I LOVE!
