This month, I'm geeking out with pages from my Doctor Who mini album. For my first page (actually a two-page spread), I upcycled some clear plastic packaging to make a pocket for my Dr. Who bookmark, a trading card, and some festive confetti. Below you can see the bookmark (a reading tally that I've had for a very long time) and some of the confetti.

Next up is a page that houses a 1980's Dr. Who Fan Club of America membership pin. :)
Project 2: journal page & die cuts from October Afternoon; chalkboard & floral papers from My Mind's Eye; tape from 3M/Scotch; pen from Ranger. |
Project 2 detail: the pin changes color like a mood ring! |
My third mini album page has a solemn tone.
Project 3 detail: I used a half-dollar coin to represent President Kennedy. |
Next up, I have three 12x12" scrapbook pages that use nearly 100% October Afternoon products.
Project 4: stickers & patterned paper from October Afternoon; cardstock from Wausau Paper; chalk from Stampin' Up; wire from Artistic Wire; paper clips. |
Project 5: previously blogged here. |
Project 6: previously blogged here. |
For the following two layouts, I found ways to use up scraps of October Afternoon products by placing them against background paper from other manufacturers.
Project 7: previously blogged here. Background paper is from Bella Blvd. |
For my final two projects, I reused the negative pieces from October Afternoon "Mini Market" stickers in interesting ways.
Project 9: previously blogged here. |
For the layout above, I tucked pieces of the sticker negatives amongst the layers. For a rustic feel, I randomly bent and cut the sticker pieces.
Project 10: previously blogged here. |
For my tenth (and last) project, I used the sticker negatives as a mask with Liquid Pearls paint.
Thanks for sticking with me through this long post! Before I sign off, I just want to remind you about the Scrap for Help challenge for this month. The T(ea) is for Tuesday crew, in particular, may be interested in this one: the challenge is to use upcycled bottle caps (perhaps from a bottle of iced tea, LOL?) in a project. You can make anything--a card, altered art, a journal page, or, of course, a scrapbook layout. For inspiration/ideas, see here and here.
Take care and enjoy your week!

I am always amazed to see how many projects you get done. Well done Denise.
Классные работы, Дениз!!!! не перестаю удивляться твоим неординарным, интересным, оригинальным идеям!!!
These are great pages for great memories, Denise!
Awesome projects, Denise! You do such a great job! I love every single one of them. and I want to thank you for sharing them with all of us. (Dr. Who is a fav of ours!!!)
I'm a HUGE Dr. Who fan, so you had me hooked as soon as I saw the first photo. Of course, I'm not familiar with that Dr., since I am most familiar with David Tennant, although I remember when it first showed on the (then) SciFi channel and featured Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper as Rose, his companion. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it since Tennant quit playing the Doctor. I don't think it's been on SyFy, either.
Of course, having said all that, I should also compliment you on all the ways you used and recycled that scrapbook paper (I've never heard of).
And I would LOVE to join challenge to use a bottle cap. Of course, it would be just for my own edification and not to visit their web site. But it sounds like fun, regardless.
Thanks for joining T today. It was fun seeing all your awesome layouts.
I was a bit nervous about what people would think of this post, esp. with all the Dr. Who stuff at the beginning. Guess I need not have worried, since a couple of commenters have mentioned their own enthusiasm for the TV show. You're right, Elizabeth, Eccleston and Tennant were awesome. Matt Smith, the new Doctor, is wonderful as well. The 3 mini album pages I showed this time around all skew heavily toward "Old Who." My next batch of mini album pages will skew more toward the "New Who" side. :)
Wow, you have done a lot! Great use of the stash and LOVE all the Doctor Who!
Fabulous pages and I love the DrWho theme mini book, what fun that is! You certainly got plenty of pages done, I am uber impressed!
Fab creations Denise - no need to worry about Dr Who ignorance in my neck of the woods - I love the shows regardless of who is who [LOL] - Have a great week - Happy T day - Mxx
xhat a wonderful job !! like particuliarely the dr Who !!!
Hello Denise, I love seeing all your layouts at once, so awesome! You do keep busy and get a lot done.
I also love the way you use colors and layering so well, that's the hard part for me to do. So I really enjoy seeing yours.
I think my favorite is the "in our hearts" love that you used a coin in the layout.
Great job on them all though!
Good luck with the bottle cap challenge.
Happy T Day to you!
I do own bottles caps but havent used them for a while, food for thought though

Enjoyed see all of this art--especially the Doctor Who art. My daughter introduced me to the show which we can watch on BBC America here.
I also loved the piece with the decorated cow as I have a sculpture of a cow decorated as Elvis Presley!
Happy T Day!
I love your scrapbooking!!! Always beautiful and unique!
Happy Tuesday!
wowza! that hot pink, red & green apple page is stunning! love all your Dr. Who images & memorabilia too...wonderful pages all.
Wow! you must have been super busy with all these projects. Love your scrapbooking pages.
Oh my goodness, lots of great OA pages! I used to watch Dr. Who a long time ago with my dad. I think I would be lost now.
but might be fun to try and catch up! :)
Well, I'm late in making the rounds this week, but your post is a great one to start this weeks gallivanting with! I used to watch DR WHO, then they took it off here and when it returned I didn't get back into it when the actors changed.
I will look into the up cycled bottle cap challenge as soon as I finish what's waiting for me on my desk. Thanks for the heads up about it!
Happy T-day!!
These layouts are all fabulous! I'm most interested in the memorial for JFK, including the coin! I can hardly believe it's been 50 years since that awful day!
You have been super busy!
Happy late T-Day! :)
These are awesome pages. Love how you've upcycled and used your scraps! :)
LOVE this whole series of layouts. So clever, love your journaling too. Amazing work. You have inspired me to get busy with some of the longer tales, I have yet to tell. Keep smiling and creating
