While playing catch up today after all of the

fun events taking place

during National Scrapbooking Day,

I came across an awesome

challenge at Spellbinders Paper Arts!

They are hosting a layout challenge

for a great cause!!!

 I wanted to stay away from my typical girly bling and flowers to be able

to join in the fun at the Unity - Ippity Challenge, too.

Since masculine theme is difficult for me, go figure with 4 dear daughters and 1 sweet son in the house, I stuck with Primary Colors.

Here is my finished layout:

 For the upper sentiment (inside the Polaroid shaped mask) I used

the set the TIME is NOW

I stamped it onto the navy blue cs using VersaMagic, Cloud White

then heat embossed using Whispers Opaqu.

 The camera image was stamped using

the Unity/Simple Stories ~ Snapshots Itty Bitty.

I stamped the image onto Quick Quotes - Cherry Truffle dp

using TH Barn Door then heat embossed using a denim

embossing powder.  Before applying it to the LO, I stamped

a shadow image using the same Barn Door ink pad directly onto the white cs.

The sentiment on the banner tag was stamped using the Unity/Simple Stories ~ Snapshots Itty Bitty as well.  I used  VersaMagic, Cloud White

then heat embossed using Whispers Opaque.

I created a Mickey design using my circle round punch and two small circle die cuts

from my stash.  I used it first to mask my layout while spraying it with my handmade

glimmer mist.  Then when finished I used it as an embellishment.  I also dripped some fun primary colors of alcohol ink onto the page as well. 

The notebook stamp inside the bottom Mickey shape, is from the Ippity Stamp Book It!

I wanted it to appear like a journaling spot for the family who

receives the layout from Spellbinders.

I also wanted to challenge myself to use the sketch

at Get Hippity with Ippity #20 Challenge

Here is the challenge details pulled from the Spellbinders site:

• Create a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout with no photos on the page, just the mats to adhere photos later.

• Post a photo of your layout on our new Facebook Contest Page to get people into the spirit... then send the original layout by mail to: Spellbinder Paper Arts, Attn: Terre Fry 1125 W. Pinnacle Peak Road, Bldg 3, Suite 124, Phoenix, AZ 85027
• All Layouts are to be given to Crops of Luv™.  Crops of Luv™ creates scrapbooks for critically ill children and their families. Most of these albums are used to commemorate trips through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Since it's inception in 2009... Crops of Luv™ has created over 250 albums... all with help of volunteers. Now it's our turn to volunteer.
