Rock Climbing Layout

 Ahhh! Is exactly what I said as the rope slipped when Scott was rock climbing at a local indoor rock climbing facility! Scott on the other hand thought it was hilarious! Typical of Scott he has no common sense when it comes fear! It causes a lot of problems on the home front because he is way too trusting. Everyone is his friend. And if I suggest that perhaps he shouldn't trust someone then I am judgemental. Oh the joys of dealing with the thinking of an adult with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Trying to instill  caution is not an easy task.

 So as you look as this picture know Scott is laughing his head off. I in the mean time am trying to find my heart that has fallen to the pit of my stomach!

To make the "rock paper" I used Cor'dinations cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder. I then sanded it and inked with Memento London Fog. I then used the colors from the photo and scattered "rock" buttons and Robin's Nest Dew Drops. I attached everything with Glue Dots Mini Dots.

To make the rock climbing ropes I used Jillibean twine (brown and white & green and white.) I took three pieces of 12 inch twine and braided it together while kind of rolling it at the same time so it looked like rope rather than a braid. TIP: tie one end and tape it on the edge of your desk. It makes it much easier to braid.

I taped the top of the rope on the back of the layout to give a feel that the rope was coming over "the edge of the rock."

To make the lettering I used the rest of my piece of Core'dinations.

Tip: Trace the letters and THEN emboss. Ask me how I know!!! LOL

Again I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder. Then I sandpapered it and  distressed the edges with Memento Tuxedo Black.

I used foam tape to attach the letters to give them some dimension.

I then scattered different colors of Robin's Nest Dew Drops. I used a large button for the bottom of the exclamation point.
