the Seatbelt

Hey,

I have another layout to share that was so fun to work with!  It was a submission at From Screen 2 Scrap  for their February Movie Poster (Casino Jack) Challenge.

Here's the poster:

And the extra criteria:

1 pt. = Grey base cardstock

2 pts. = Playing card(s)

3 pts. = Money notes

At first, I really didn't know what I could create with this poster... until I found this photo of Andrew!!

As I scoured the rows of "stuff" at a local store, I came across a package of large bills and snatched it up, never really thinking I would actually use it... but you never know!  The playing cards are extra large (possibly for those people who can't see well).  Even though they were rather large, I made them work on my page.

Here's what I created using a sketch from Page Maps:

I'm so lucky to have such creative kids!!

It sure was a challenge trying to tie up this wide black ribbon like in the photo!  I think I got close enough though. 

Gotta love that smile... so proud of his creation with the "extra" seatbelt!! 

I've used all the extra criteria too!  Woohoo!

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok

Money (not real)

Playing Cards (extra large)

Journaling Block matted on the back of the playing card

Wide Black Ribbon

Sticker Square & Word: BoBunny

Distressing

Title Letter Stickers: Miss Elizabeth's

Ink: A la mode Black

Title matted on playing card

Sharpie Marker

Buckle

Perfect Pearls Mists: Heirloom Gold

 

I used a playing card for my title block.  In the middle of the hearts was enough space to adhere the letters.  The edges were distressed and inked.  I also brushed the card lightly over ink.

 

Two cards were tucked under the center paper.  I also added a square button photo and the word over that.

 

My journaling block, which was written on white cardstock and matted on the back of a playing card.

 

Sure wish I had this money... for REAL!!  I'm imagining all the crafting stuff I could buy with just ONE of these bills!  :)

All the bills and cardstock were misted with gold... which I thought was appropriate (gold... money...).  At least that's how I associate it.

Here's a portion of the ribbon.  After knotting it I added the buckle.  The ribbon was adhered loosely so there's lots of dimension here.

 

I added the journaling block on the other part of the knotted ribbon.

 

Here's a look at the ribbon I tied... I still can't believe it looks like in the photo!!

I went digging through a "misc." box and found this cool buckle.  It looks like something Andrew could have made... but then again, maybe not.

 

Here's a closer look at the stickers which were adhered on cardstock then the edges inked.

  

Here's a look at the layering above the photo.  More money... I wonder if there's any way I can make it REAL?  :)
