Colorblok: Cut apart and adhere as shown in picture.

Title: 2x11 inch vellum. Crumple vellum up. Uncrumple and lay flat. Sand vellum using sanding block. Ink vellum (all over with brown ink)
Lay vellum over the top of paint strips.

Supplies Needed and Instructions:

Supplies Needed:

• 1 sheet 12x12 solid card stock (Antique tan)
• 4 scrap pieces of cardstock to use for matting (I picked a blue and off gray that would match the antique tones)
• 1 Sheet Chalk it stickers (Groovy)*notice L looks like an I.
• 1 Paint Stripz-Antique colors
• 1 Colorblock sheet (Snips 'N' Snails)
• 1 frog diecut and 1 heart die cut
• Scrapper's Block (For Distressing)
• Adhesive
• Cutting tools
• Pens (I used Creative Memories)
• Chalks
• Cut 12x12 sheet of cardstock to 7x7. Make the other 7x7 page with scraps left over

Crop photos and mat with the 4 scrap sheets of cardstock.

Arrange Chalk it letters where you would like them on your page and chalk them with a tone that you like. (If you don't have chalks you can use CM pens or Zig pens even watercolors. Just use a Q-tip and a small amount of water to blend the colors out.)

Take Colorblock sheet and cut out the items you would like to use. I took the sail boat and cut it into to connect the two pages.

I added a die cut frog. Then took a heart die cut and tore the edges.

After you have everything in place and glued down take and distress some of your items to give it a different look.

I picked the heart and the paint stripz to give a little distressing action.

This layout I wanted to keep simple. It is for a man (aka my dad!) and I want it to be something he would like to show off to family or his co-workers. I will be doing some more Layouts to put in his Father's Day gift. And in this case sometimes less is more.
