Yesterday for Stephanie at Always Crafting I completed a challenge about an elephant... Today Stephanie is sponsoring the prize for Flaunt it Fridays which is the bear in a bin cut from Give a Hoot...eek! The elephant was tough enough... but a bear in a bin!!! Oh NO!!! But as always: the idea came to me and I love the page I created.
My car really is always a mess. The boys don't like car trips and food is a great distraction, as a result, there is juice boxes, food packaging, apple cores and lots of other rubbish to clean out when home. (When I can get to it!) Not to mention the tonnes of toys and other distractions in there!
It has been nicknamed the 'Wheelie Bin' by my parents and some of my girlfriends. So funny. The bears represent me and my two boys. I used stamp masking and Peachy Keen Stamps 5/8" to just stamp the eyes from the everyday faces collection. If you are interested in learning about stamp masking click here for my mini tutorial. I must get more Peachy Keens. They really make a character come alive.
I don't have Give a Hoot cartridge so I cut my own bin with Sure Cuts a Lot. I was having trouble layering the bears as I tried to cut them out in Bazzills. But then Jacob, my scrapping assistant, had an idea:
Watercolours and my aqua pen, so I ended using the water coloured pencils on a lot of the page, including title, dumped rubbish and for the definition on the dump truck.
The dump truck comes from Everyday Paper Dolls and so does the road. The Wheelie bin font is from Hannah Montana, the Daddy Girl font.
Thanks again for a great challenge Flaunt it Fridays. I love your challenges!
See you tomorrow for Cheap Chirpin' Tuesday!
