I gave myself a little bit of a challenge yesterday. I challenged myself to sit down and create a scrapbook page using all four of the techniques I was about to teach in Technique Club. I did it!
Scrapbook pages on the water
The left-hand page is simply a collage of pictures. These are pictures of the bay from our vacation. I focused in on my youngest and my hubby with these pages.
Stamping Techniques for Class
I did all four techniques on this page. They’re all totally different techniques but I think they came together well. Really, this could be a single page layout by itself.
Handmade buttons
Here are the handmade buttons I showed you yesterday. The ladies were so excited to learn how to make these!
3-D Stamping Technique
I used our technique of 3-D stamping with the Medallion stamp set.
Faux metal & Embossing Ribbon Techniques
If you look closely you see that I embossed the Chocolate Chip satin ribbon. What a neat texture it gives! I also made the metal medallion you see here with the faux metal technique and a stamp from the Vintage Labels stamp set.
I really think I should give myself challenges like this more often! It was fun! I should mention that I was in a rush doing this page. I knew I had a class in my basement and a very messy kitchen so I couldn’t sit there all day and debate my moves.
Here is the third scrapbook layout we’re doing at Scrapbook Club (weather permitting) tonight. I used one of our chipboard hearts from the Occasions Mini catalog and covered it with DSP and embossed on the swirly from Wedding Sweet. It may be heard to read, the title/journaling says “I (heart) U when you’re goofy, messy, happy, naughty.
This sort of layout is a wonderful way to use those odd pictures you have lying around. I always have leftover pictures from layouts and so this is a great way to find a home for them!
Stampin' Up! Big Shot Scrapbook Page
Here’s a closeup of the left-hand page. I used the Serif Essentials and Timeless Type Big Shot dies to make the letters. Of course I had to use the Sale-A-Bration Scallop Border punch, I just couldn’t help myself!
There is supposed to be more snow beginning tomorrow afternoon so I will be in contact with club members if there are going to be problems.
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to get very good pictures of this scrapbook layout. I really need to take pictures when there is more light outside so the flash won’t reflect off the pictures. In any case, I hope you can get the idea. We will be making this layout at Scrapbook Club tomorrow evening.
Wings of Friendship Stamp Set
Here is the left hand page of the layout. I used paper from the Sending Love Specialty and Bella Bleu DSP packs as well as a little bit of retired DSP which I believe was the Parisian Breeze DSP.
Sweet Pea Stitched Felt
I used the Wings of Friendship level 2 hostess stamp set as well as the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and Eyelet border punch to spice up the pages a little bit. I’m always looking for ways to get away with using pretty girly sort of colors and designs on pages for my family (I have 3 boys.) I’m excited about this page because I was able to pull off using Pretty in Pink along with Bravo Burgundy, a color combination I love!
Thank you for stopping by to visit! I hope your new week will be a wonderful one!
Whew! It has been quite a week! There was the snow, my husband being stuck in Indiana for days due to flight cancellations (coming home today!!!), kids, rescheduling classes and on and on . . . I think I’m about done in! I can’t wait to get away from the house for a little bit (without kids!)
Anyway, with all that going on I’m afraid my scrapbook layouts for Scrap Club are coming to you a little late. Of course with the chance of more snow on the way, I’ll be in contact with club members if we have to make any changes Monday.
It seemed fitting with all the snow we’ve been having to do another snow layout. The pictures on my page are actually from last year as I haven’t printed any yet this year.
Stampin' Up! Punch People
I got the original idea for this layout from a fellow demonstrator. I made a few changes and added a few things to make it work for me. I had a lot of fun making the little people on these pages from our punches!
Stampin' up! Big Shot Snowflakes
The snowflakes were cut out on the big Shot but the people and snowman were all done with punches. I haven’t done a whole lot with making figures from our punches in the past but it’s growing on me! Those who did the Valentine card class really liked the card with the frog made out of punches.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you will continue to visit and leave a comment occasionally. Have a wonderful weekend!
This is such a beautiful scrapbook page that would be wonderful for pictures of a little girl in her Sunday best or while she picks flowers or . . . ! If I had a little girl I’d be very excited to put pictures of her on here! You may remember a 2-page scrapbook layout [...]
I feel very honored that my dad has asked me to make a 12×12 scrapbook of family pictures and documents he has! I consider it a privilege and I hope he and the rest of my family will like it when I’m done. I started my mission yesterday with this page. These are my grandparents. [...]
Here’s a fun scrapbook layout I made yesterday! This is my littlest guy going down the sliding board with Daddy’s help. I just love the expressions on his face!
The numbers you see are from the On Board Lots of Letters chipboard set. I used a variety of the styles of numbers, including positive and negative [...]
We had a wonderful time at Technique Club last night! We learned some FUN techniques (there’s a little inside joke there) and had a great time stamping and laughing together!
After everyone left, and the kids were in bed, I sat down and put this scrapbook layout together. This is the coach house we rented at [...]
