Hi everyone, Jane here
Okay...this is my first DT blog post for Pages2Scrap, so bear with me...

Now I don't know about you but I find it hard to make a boy or a men's card, I don't really have much in the way of products to make them with either!! But YAY my first DT kit had this great range of We R Memory Keepers Vintage 'T' papers, stickers, stamps and a few trinkets from my most  favourite range 'Tim Holtz'!! So here are my creations!

MVP card
Now I must admit that I had no idea what MVP meant, I had to ask my friends who I was creating with at the time, 'Most Valuable Player' okay then, that suits my son perfectly as he is always playing on his XBox! I added a distress piece of denim material to match the papers then layered the stickers together, tucked a few arrows and a fleur de lis sticker to extend the design and to add more interest, believe it or not I still have more stickers left on the sheet!!

WOW card
This card is simple as I didn't think the surfer image needed much else, all I did was trim four pieces of the blue camouflage paper in a wavy pattern then distressed the edges, layered them on top of each other to replicate the surf. I cut the word WOW from  one of the papers and attach it for the sentiment!

Carpe Diem
Seize the day! The Vintage T embossed tags are all you really need to make a great card, I further decorated the card by using a decorative punch along the top and bottom edges on a strip of the golf pants paper, wrapped white seam binding around it, cut a word from another paper then tied it to the card using one of the fabulous Tim Holtz mini paper clips, these are great for adding attachments!!

Bull Dog Card
I have a nephew who loves surfboards, the beach and has a Bull dog, so this card is perfect for him. The stamp set had this great surfboard image on it, so I stamped it on cream card using a range of Distress Inks, cut them out and lined them up along the bottom of the card. I added a word stripe, an embossed sticker border, white cord and that great bull dog sticker! I also sanded the papers more just to add interest.

Thank you so much for looking, I hope I have given you some inspirations for boy cards or even an idea somewhere. Remember.... leave a comment :-) Just so the boss knows you're looking he he

Happy creating
Jane

Hi Everyone

It's Kate here bringing you my layouts for January featuring the fabulous We R Memory Keeper's range Vintage T. I enjoyed using this versatile and masculine range to showcase some photos of my husband (being a big kid!) and one of my daughter with her Hoola Hoop. It goes to show that these colours featuring predominantly orange, green, and a dark Admiral blue, can be used for any occasion.

A feature of this Vintage T range which was really appealing was the embossed die cut stickers. They add a great 3D effect to compliment your pages, embossed ANYTHING is a great texture to add to your layouts.

I tried to grunge up these pages to really work with the theme of the range, really rocking, fun, vintage 80's feel. I added lots of paint on my pages using Kaisercraft paint and Versacolor inks. Using a black journalling pen, I roughly doodled on my pages, adding a graffiti type feel which was all the rage in the 80's & early 90's.
Using Stazon Ink and Kaiser background stamps, I was able to add depth and dimension to my pages to draw the eye in to the photographs.

The Vintage T foil paper was perfect for cutting out titles. The foil aspect adds dimension to the words, and it was great not having to figure out titles when they have got them printed so well on the patterned paper for you to cut and assemble using foam adhesive.

The Collections tissue paper is something I often use on my layouts, I love how you can cut it to an appropriate size and its subtle and soft enough to add behind any embellishment or on top of any paintwork to make an eye catching addition to your pages.

I was really fond of the Tim Holtz mini paper clips, they are the perfect size to add that touch of metal to your pages and therefore bringing the focus back to the rock and grunge of the 80's era. They were really fun to use. The gold brads, also complimented the mini paper clips.

I never go out of style
