Stampin' Up! Decor Stencil
I hope you liked the card yesterday because I was still stuck in that same design mode today! I made both a card and a scrapbook page with the very idea I used yesterday
To make this 4×4 card I used the Kind Thoughts Brocade Stencil from the Decor Elements brochure, the En Francais background stamp, Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon and Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware.
Family Portrait Scrapbook Page
Here is the scrapbook page I made with the same basic idea as the card. What do you think? This picture is of my parents, my siblings and myself. I’m the cute little one with pigtails! This scrapbook page is for inside my father’s scrapbook that he asked me to make. You can see another page of the scrapbook by following this link to a vintage scrapbook page.
The colors on this scrapbook page page are just a little different from the cards. I used Kraft cardstock as I did with the cards, however, instead of Chocolate Chip I substituted Soft Suede since it coordinated better with the picture.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing these projects, I’m sure you’ll be seeing this stencil again. I’m thinking it would be nice with Bravo Burgundy and maybe a touch of Pretty in Pink . . .
I’m excited to share these Decor Elements with you. A friend and I repainted and decorated our church nursery (well, we’re still working on it really.) These cute white shelves needed something special and yet not heavy to sit on them. The Shelf Life Decor Elements work perfectly
use. It just seemed like it’d be too much.
is to it! When you’re done with the decor you simply peal it off your wall (note that these are not reusable.)
I’ve liked these Manhattan Flower Decor Elements since they first came out. Recently I needed to redeem some free points from Stampin’ Up! before they disappeared so I decided to get these for my bedroom with its roses and burgundy curtains. I like them! I got one set of Chocolate Chip and one in Kraft.
My posts may end up being a bit sporadic this week. My grandfather passed away this morning and being as I’m directing VBS this week as well . . . I’m not sure how my schedule is going to go. Please bear with me and I’ll post as I am able!
I couldn’t leave the scrapbook alone for long, I needed to get the cover finished. (See yesterday’s post if you have no clue what I’m talking about.)
mostly dry, I tied double-stitched Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon around the cover and added a few little embellishments. 
I’ve heard some people comment on how plain the Stampin’ Up! scrapbooks are. I’d like to offer another train of thought, just think how much you can do with a plain scrapbook! I have seen Stampin’ Up! scrapbooks that have been decorated so they look more lovely than any scrapbooks I’ve seen in the store.
little something to my 12×12 post linen scrapbook. I think I’ll probably do some other things too but that’ll have to be another day. Today I used the Kind Thought Flourish Stencil from out of the current Decor Elements Brochure. One of my upline members, Jan, gave this to me for a prize a while back and I wasn’t sure what to do with it at first. We rent so 
the walls were out of the question but once I started thinking outside the box . . .
all around the cover to give it a bit of an older look. I used the heat tool to speed up the drying process and then prepared for the next step. Once again I put down the stencil but I went slightly up and to the left this time so the Chocolate Chip would appear as a shadow. For the second round of stenciling I used Brocade Blue Craft Ink. I like the look!
With the new catalog is coming a new Decor Elements Brochure. There are some very neat and new elements in there too! I was able to preorder one of these especially for my boys.
saying does fit (at least when it comes to the boys having to pick up their toys . . . ).
I made this cute little welcome sign yesterday. “Welcome” is our vinyl decor elements and then the flowers are stamped using Elegant Eggplant Craft ink and the new Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.
