SHCG: LOL! I love the red 'cracker's accent! We say it like this around here when we're joking around. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your description of this page. I love the title and how you featured it with different pps! Hilarious! They remind me of Mario and Luigi. Too funny, you bought its twin. As usual, you rocked the decos, and you rocked the spirit [g-rated site] out of your Holiday stash! How cool is it that you even had matching nutcracker dimensionals! Using the Troll hair was a genius idea! Soooo, Lisa! Always a fan of your text in photos, and your added whimsy with the speech bubbles. Love the holly on the sword. The gold stickers at the top and the beads on the tree just add to this festive page. I love saving things from cards and gifts to use later on los, so I was happy to see you did the same here.
This is great! It's so bright and cheery! I love nutcrackers, too and my collection has grown pretty large. I finally did a LO of my collection this weekend, too.
SHCG: ROFL... this is hilarious! I love the story and hoe busy this page is. There are so many little details, it's hard to take them all in!!!! Great job!
(BTW... the "I keel you" totally reminds me of Jose Jalapeno on a Steeck)
SHCG - Awesome, Lisa! So lively & fun. Love all the colors, how a troll doll sacrificed his hair for this, how there's a whole little scene at the bottom yet it doesn't take focus from Nut & Cracker. Way to use your stash - is this your BWC response? Let me know if so. This ROCKS, wonderful work!
SHCG: I "Crack"ed up laughing at this one. I love it. I love the journaling, such a precious story. The use of all the stuff you wouldn't have bought is awesome. The holly is so cool, I love how it frames the top half of the LO. The Title and fonts are fantastic. I really like how the white on the top and the patterend on the bottom work so well together. "I Keel You" makes me think of Achmed (Jeff Dunham), so I love that. Fantastic and Fun LO.
What a hoot.
At first I thought it was going to be about how you hate going to The Nutcracker ballet year after year after year after blessed year... but then I read the journaling and just "cracked" up!
Love the LO and the fact that you used up stuff you had. My kind of scrappin'.
OMG you are hilarious . this Lo jumped outta the gallery at me cuz I collect nutcrackers { think I'm up over 40 right now} but the story behind it all was an extra bonus. Too funny!and very creative!
I saw this on one of the main forum threads and it made me laugh so much I had to come and leave you a comment! This is fantastic and your journaling just kept me laughing. Love your story and the fact you used so much of your stash. The paper and santa embellishments are the perfect choices for this layout. This is so creative, you need to do more humorous pages, you have a talent for it! Thanks for the laugh!
I keep telling you that you need to put these ideas and stories into books. You are so wonderfully descriptive I was there on the hunt with you, disappointed with you when you found thh nutcrackers were the same. Love that you are such a good Pollyanna and played the "glad" game by making them have their very own story anyway.
Absolute genius! Love the humor, innovation, and spirit of fun that went in to creating this page. You've got a delightful imagination and we're all so thankful that you use it for good, not evil! ;D
shcg - I love this Lisa!! Thanks for telling me the title font. Will be going off to download it. This is humorous and I love the story. Great job using your stash of supplies!
Journaling reads "I got my first Nutcracker at the Nurnberg market. The next day I searched for another unique nutcracker. Imagine my surprise when I returned to my hotel to discover both Nutcrackers were almost identical." And so the battle began between the brothers. They fought in the suitcase on the way home from Germany and have had to be separated every Christmas since. Cracker (the red one) dropped his sword and I had to fix it. It must have happened during an attack...
If ever there was a "use your supplies" layout this would be it. Everything on this layout I had. I did not buy one new thing. The things from various Ebay scrapbook lots (which means I never would have bought them on their own) were - pattern paper - ProvoCraft Cricut Christmas Cheer 6" x 12" paper stack - Tree - Sandylion Essentials Christmas Trees - brass stencils - Plaid All Night Media - nutcracker stickers - Mrs Grossman's, - Holly stickers - Creative Imaginations Holly /Pine - Santa Rub On - Momenta Christmas Par Rub On - Reindeer sticker The "Merry Christmas" is from a recycled Christmas card. The red ribbon is recycled from a Christmas gift. I added the text to the photo in Photoshop. And if you look closely you will see the same woman twice! This was a photo merge of two photos. "I keel you" bubble and "Can't we all just get along" text was made in Photoshop. I misspelled "kill" on purpose. Don't want to scare small children.
Title was made using SureCutsaLot and if the font looks like a Thickers font it is cause it is. I found the font name, Whoa Nelly, in a thread on this site and then found the font on the internet. I added some doll hair to the large photos. I am very sorry to have to report a troll doll gave up his locks for this page. I glued some extra shiny sequin thingies here & there to match the tree. I cut the mat using DECO SCISSORS cause... It ain't scrapbooking unless you use DECO SCISSORS!!!
Thank you for looking
1/12 update ok now I can confirm how sneaky that Cracker really is. There is some holly stuck to his sword. He must have been practicing his sword fighting last night.
