FEELING FROSTY - July 14, 2010 - Fairbanks, Alaska

JOURNALING:  We visited the Ice Museum with its fantastic ice sculptures and watched a demonstration on how the ice is carved from huge chunks with power tools.  I could not convince Matt to take a nap in the ice house.

SUPPLIES USED: BasicGrey Granola patterned paper, Kraft cardstock, Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Faded Jeans, Stampabilities Black Ink, Doodlebug Designs Paper Frills in Lily White, EK Success Corner Rounder, Gel Writer, Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Frost, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Denim blue, Liquid Pearls in White Opal, Stickles in Star Dust, Diamond Glaze, Letter Stencils, Cricut Expression with MSSeasonal cartridge, SCAL with snowflake and journal tag svg shapes

TECHNIQUE NOTES:  I'm sure you are like me and have lots of those plastic letter templates laying around.  I decided that I wanted to use on this layout so I went about "building" my title of Feeling Frosty.  I started out by tracing the letters on my kraft background paper with a pencil.  I lightly erased the pencil marks so they would not show through on my final image.  Then I traced all the outlines of the letters with small dots using my Liquid Pearls.  Once that was dry, I filled the inside of the letters with my Star Dust Stickles.  After even more drying time, I filled in the letters with Diamond Glaze to give them so dimension and shine.  Perfect title with no alphabets or Cricut needed.

SOARING - October 31, 2010 - Haines, Alaska 

JOURNALING:  A Bald Eagle soars into the trees on the Chilkat river in Haines, AK.

PHOTOS:  Bald Eagle images by Shetzers Photography 

SUPPLIES USED:  DCWV Nantucket patterned paper, Stampabilities Brown ink, Sketch by PageMaps (page 52), EK Success corner rounder, Stampin up corner rounder, Oriental Trading stitch template, Font:  CK Carefree, The Paper Studio pearlized cardstock, Fiskars Secret Garden Foliage stamp, Versa Color ink in blue

TECHNIQUE TIP:  I decided to buck the normal trends of matching my layout colors to my photograph and developed this patriotic color scheme to showcase our national bird.  Since the colors were so powerful and the meaning they convey is clear, a few simple star embellishments and some stitched flourishes added to the patriotic mood.
MORNING FLIGHT - October 22, 2010 - Haines, Alaska 

JOURNALING:  This image is my favorite of all the Bald Eagle photos taken in Haines, Alaska.  What a beautiful morning flight.

TECHNIQUES:  A couple of unique techniques on this layout.  I used Studio G's white chalk ink to stamp the border under the photography and then embellished the stamp dots by using Ranger's Liquid Pearls to give some dimension to the stamp.  I also tried the American Crafts stamp markers for the first time and created a dual tone stamp for my journaling (brown & blue).
