Rock, Paper, Scissors, & Scrap

Last week, I decided to add number stickers to the side of my 365 SMASH book.  I still have the plastic on the book and it kept them on the book really well.  I thought I'd have to mod podge but was scared because of the cloth material.   2 more pages added as well, please scroll down.  I think I might leave the opposite page blank..or at least for now. I folded a piece of paper in half and cut it to match the flyer.  I wanted to show the back and front of the Cabazon Dianosaurs brochure.  Used left over pics and scraps from my scrapbook pages and attached with ribbon!  That way I can flip it and see both sides.

I busted out some old, very old, scrapbook products from my stash.  For the letters I used a template I bought from gonescrappin.com but I guess they are out of business.  It was called Pagers Template Party.  I forgot how much I liked to trace and hand cut letters.  I inked them with Stampin Up More Mustard and Close to Cocoa.  I had bought at a garage sale a bunch of stamps and yes never used any of them.  There was a dinosaur stamp by The Stamp Pad Co. so stamped on some paper, tore the paper, and inked the edges.  I used old fibers (remember how in style they were???) I remember doing a swap so not sure which company they are from.  I used washi for around the pics and am loving that technique.  I can't remember the last time I used a tag and now have used them on the last two layouts.  So much fun to get in my stash!  I was going to go to town and try and find Dinosaur paper and ended up making my own!!!

I found a stack of magazines and other freebies I grabbed while on our trip to Palm Springs.  My fave is when I buy post cards, the brown bags they come in, sometimes have the city name.  I had forgot I had this so had to smash it.  I found some old stickers from Dollar Tree Mrs. Elizabeth line - wish they still carried all that.  Used a journalling block I had laying around too. Kinda went sticker overboard but oh well right? lol

I combined some Cricut cartridges to make these clipboards and love how they came out.  These are the mini clipboards and like its only one piece of 12x12 paper, not two like the big ones.

Finally used my SNAP book!  I bought it last year and have been buying pages, just haven't used it yet.  I had extra pictures to use up of Palm Springs and decided to use this album.  I really like it.  Its a little smaller than SMASH but the pages turn nice and love I can rearrange the pages. I used some washi and old letter stickers to finish it.

I used up some paper I scored a deal on at Tuesday Morning last year.  Big paper stack for a buck!!! We purchased the picture and I used the outside for the big picture.  I also used a couple of framelits I think I got in a RAK, not sure.  I used more washi to frame all of the pictures, my new fave technique!  I also used some old metal ad-ons for cards that I bought at Office Depot on clearance for .25 for a big bag a long time ago too. 

I used the first couple pages in the 365 SMASH book for our first trip of the year to Palm Springs, CA. I used washi to frame the pictures, our tickets and receipts.  I added journaling under the first picture.
