Create This Fantastic Photo Tray with Guest Designer Suzanne Sergi and Game On!

Hello friends! I'm back with another inspiring project from our Get Your Game On Guest Designer Suzanne Sergi!

 

But before I show you the project, I am embarassed to admit, I forgot to include Suzanne's photo with her first blog post! Oops! So here she is, along with a little LYB Q&A so you can get to know her better!

 

LYB:  What is your "go to embellishment?"

SS:  My go to embellishments are tags, or labels. They are fabulous to stand alone, or to emboss, journal, or ink.

 

LYB:  Do you prefer cardstock or patterned paper?

SS:   I am a big fan of patterned paper! I am usually inspired by color, so I always begin my design with patterned paper. I do use cardstock, but mainly to add small details to the page.

 

LYB:  What kind of music gets you in the scrappin' mood?

SS:  I am from Texas, so I am a huge fan of country music! However, I do like to mix it up, from time to time. My library playlist includes pop music, and a bit of classical, too.

 

LYB:  Do you like to go to crops or prefer to scrap alone?

SS:  I absolutely love going to crops! I love being with friends. However, I find it difficult  to pack my stuff for a crop. I do the majority of my scrapbooking at home. However, anytime the opportunity arises, you will find me at a crop. I am okay to simply sit, and chat! I guess, I love the social aspect!

 

LYB:   What are your favorite types of projects...pages, mini albums, cards, altered projects, etc.?

SS:  This is a difficult question! I love to scrapbook any type of papercraft! However, if I was to answer it is a toss up between mini albums, and altered projects. I throughly enjoy the creative process of a mini album, and of course, love altered projects especially around the holidays! I scrapbook for my family, so creating pages is definitely important to me. You might see a card from me, from time to time. However, as hard as  I try, they take me longer to create, than a page! 

 

LYB:   Do you have a favorite scrapbooking snack?

SS:  I rarely snack when I scrapbook at home. You will definitely find a large diet coke with extra ice nearby! (maybe Hot Tamales, too!) If I am at a crop, well that is a different answer. lol

 

LYB:  Any unique tips or techniques you use?

SS:  Two techniques you will find me using over and over are embossing and inking. I love the instant texture that embossing can give to a premade embellishment, sticker, or diecut. It is an easy technique, and  can add so much detail to your projects. I do love stamping on my projects, too. An easy, and inexpensive technique to embellish your projects.

And now...let's make this fun photo tray!

 

Hi, Everyone! Suzanne here, to share a project with the new Get Your Game On Collection! I love photo trays for displaying some of my favorite photos.  On my list was to alter one for my football player! I wanted to include a few special highlights of his football season. The new Get Your Game On Collection included everything I needed to create this football photo tray! A few pieces of patterned paper were all I needed to begin. The chipboard embellishment pack included the perfect football details to create fun embellishments in each individual panel!  In a couple of hours, I was able to complete this keepsake, that my son will enjoy for years to come.

 

Here are a few more pics!

 

 

 

Thanks Suzanne! I just love this! What a great way to capture a bunch of photos from the season ... or even a special game!

 

We'll be back with more from Suzanne next week ... and meanwhile, be sure to check out her blog by cliking HERE!

 

Have a BALL!
