Arrrrrrrrr

Hello Everybody!

***This layout won a spot in the Top 3 at Stuck On U Sketches:  May 9th Sketch Challenge.

It's my turn at Unique Laser Designs to show off some of their great products.  So I made a scrapbook page.  :)

Our church does a yearly Trunk or Treat.  Folks decorate their trunks and hand out candy.  My husband transformed our pick up truck into a pirate ship.  :)


Here is the piece that I fell in love with!  For this pirate skull and bones I painted him with Distress Crackle Paint Picket Fence.  Look at all of that crackly goodness!  I didn't paint underneath it so some of the wood color seeps out here and there.  Awesome!  Self distressing! ;)


I used mini stars for the top and bottom clusters and washi tape.  I just left these stars in the natural state.  There is one side that is darker than the other so I used to dark and one light side up.


Here's the bottom stars.  The heart is from 7 Gypsies and I felt compelled to doodle on it.  :)


Now let me tell you about this compass.  It's paper that looks like metal!  I took a piece of kraft paper and embossed it with the Tim Holtz folder.  Then I used black soot distress paint and dabbed in places.  Then I used tarnished brass (goldish color) distress paint and painted over all of it.  Then I went back and dabbed black soot paint in places and worked it in with my finger.  


Here's my title:  Arrr (cubed LOL)  Also, I used so Tim Holtz stamps in the background.  Som of the papers are from DCWV, Prima, and Crate.  The red trim on the top and bottom is from a Fiskars punch.  I love that notebook paper look.


For this layout I used this awesome sketch from Stuck On U Sketches: May 9 Challenge.  (And there is still time to play!)


Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Until next time my friends.....Arrrr matey!
