with the twist of using stamps and medal.
come join us and look under the forum challenges and swaps

THIS IS MY TAKE..MY EXAMPLE A LO I DID OF MY SON "GABRIEL"
 Here I did a layered border using paper from american crafts its setting on card board
because of the medal on here makes it heavy. then I placed a paper from Creative Imagination
Marah Johnson and distressed Then added a circle scaloped cardstock I got form Tim Holtz lost and found
which I made distressed the edges and then added distress ink fired brick.I then punched holes in the
cardstock with a circle punch paper shaper. then distressed each circle with green chalk from pebbles Inc...
metallic. I then made my title with the Cricut expression and added black stickles to give it a shine.
 Here I first matted the back paper with KI glittered paper distressed, on top is the green paper from
american crafts that I used the all around punch from Martha Stewart crown. distressed with vintage ink.
I then placed the photo on top I matted that with 3 layers of paper and then added a photo corner
from EK sucess. also added two tickets from Tim Holtz and distressed the tickets with vintage ink.
Journaling ticket and Ideaology ticket. I then added a eyelet and some string for a more masculine feel.
I stamped the lion from tim holtz stamps.
Here I cut out the clock from creative imagination Monarah Johnson. I then distressed the closck with black ink
and added crystals from Zva. I added tim Holtz spinner and the added a Tim Holtz clasp and keys to give
it a more masculine look. Then added a crown.
Here you can see the layers and the circles I punched out I distressed each and every one and the distressed
them with Tim Holtz brick fire ink.
