It's a Naturals Evolution with Tim Holtz Ranger Ink - Day 5

 

How are you including our Naturals embellishments and Clear Stamps into your day to day memory keeping?  We know that everyone gets busy with life and even though many people would like to record their memories in a beautiful and elaborate scrapbook, there isn't always the time. 

 

Today we want to show you some simple ideas for using photo sleeves or divided sheet protectors and Little Yellow Bicycle products to quickly document a day in the life...  Not to mention that the Clear Stamps and Ranger Ink totally enhanced the look of this project, were easy to use, and included the right kind of sentiments.

 

Plus there are prize opportunities at the end, so keep reading...

As you can guess, my son loves to play with our Wii (now don't worry we make him play outside plenty too).  Some might say he is even a bit obsessed with it.  We're pretty sure he could bowl on our Wii before he could talk - now at 4 1/2 he does both quite well.  So on Monday, I asked him if I could take a few photos to document his passion for Wii and he said yes...

This is basically a mini 4x6 layout with the Vacation Clear Stamps as the focus.  I grabbed my Makin' the Grade 6 x 6 paper pad, a fun notebook punch and some of the cork and canvas Naturals embellishments.

This title was fun to make.  I combined our cork alphabet letters with the Friends Clear Stamps. Then, I stamped the word moments onto the letters for a fun effect.  The cork readily soaks up the ink and does not require much pressure for a beautiful clean stamp.

The LYB Journal Cards and Tear Out Ticket Books are great layers for the 3 x 4 pockets.  I journaled on this one, added a cork tag from the Naturals that looks a bit like a clipboard and then backed it with some of the MTG patterned paper.

I thought this group of photos really embodied the sentiment "Attitude is everything" from our My Happiness Clear Stamps.  Not to mention my son's pension for style.

On most of the stamping, I used the Ranger Archival Ink, because it is so clear and true, but on this Naturals canvas tag, I used Tim's Distress Ink in Faded Jeans for a little rougher texture and color that would go well with the whole concept of the poject.  I also had to add one of the little Ranger Idea-ology fasteners shaped like a hanger.

That blue alphabet is part of our Naturals canvas alphabets and it comes in both upper and lowercase letters.  It's so striking with the red Archival Ink.  Again, cork is such a great surface for stamping like on the little star.

These Naturals burlap hearts are so stinkin' cute!  I used some of the Tim Holtz stains to die the largest one and then stamped the sentiments on the other two with black Archival Ink and added a couple of the Idea-ology Memo Pins.
