Here's a quick scrapbook page I made this morning.  We visit the Harford County Farm Fair each summer and these are some pictures I took this year. It's a pretty simple layout but you know me, I like my pictures to be the main focus, not a lot of little extra which detract from the pictures. We will be making this layout in the Stewartstown Scrapbooking Club this coming Monday, September 17.  I look forward to seeing the variety of pictures that come for these pages! Thanks for stopping by today! Continue reading

Our boys completed the summer reading program for the York County Library System this summer - that means they read (or had read to them) 800 minutes each!  One of the prizes as the end of the program was a coupon for pick your own apples at Brown's Orchard.  We thought it would be fun to go today, the last Saturday before school starts. Yes, you read that right, we picked the apples, took the pictures, had them developed and made the scrapbook pages all today!  There's just something about doing the pages right away when you're still in the mood! I used the new Perfectly Preserved Continue reading

I saw a scrapbook page with this same title and a similar layout in an old magazine and knew I needed to make my own.  How could I resist with all the garden fun we've had this summer?  I used a variety of stamping (Circle Circus stamp set),  International Bazaar DSP and retired some DSP for the background. You may notice I used a variety of alphabet dies on these pages as well, just adding some fun. This layout would work for just about any occasion, it certainly does not need to include vegetable pictures!  I look forward to making this layout with the Scrap Club on Monday.  We Continue reading

Remember the other day when I said was going to can salsa and freeze corn with a friend?  Believe it or not, I've already scrapbooked the corn part of the day!  I had so much fun pulling out the new Perfectly Preserved stamp set with the ear of corn in it. As you know, I really like to make my photos the center of attention and use the stamps and accessories as accents.  I guess I'm a little crazy with the picture taking sometimes.  I will admit the little girl watching me take a close up of the ear of corn gave me a funny look! I look forward to making this layout with the scrap club Continue reading

This is the third 2-page layout we made at the Disney Scrapbooking Class last week.  I used pictures I took of the Disney Boardwalk.  Our hotel was right on the boardwalk so we spent a decent amount of time on the boardwalk, eating supper there each night and enjoying the scenery. I wanted the base sheets of the scrapbook layout to fit in with the overall style of the boardwalk and hotel.  I decided to use a variety stamps from the Daydream Medallions, Day of Gratitude, Papaya Collage, and En Francais stamp sets.  They're stamped in Crumb Cake and Soft Suede. We just learned Continue reading

I'm excited about this scrapbook page but I'm afraid the picture is not at all like the real thing.  The color is off - it's a nice white background in real life. I like the way this layout lends itself to adding in little memorabilia like the Disney tickets below the Fantasia hat and several items on the other page. The little Real Red frame puts emphasis on the picture I want to especially draw eyes to. We made this layout at the Disney Scrapbooking Class last evening.  It's beautiful!  I hope you'll stop by the StampThat Studio to see it sometime. Thank you for stopping Continue reading

I'm running a little late this morning . . . already!  I wanted to take a quick minute to share this layout that we'll be making at the Scrapbooking Disney class tonight.  This is one of three!  I'll be sharing the others with you post-class. Here we are nice and early in the morning before the park was even open! And we have a variety of pictures of the parade and castle. Thank you for stopping by today!  Happy Friday!   Continue reading

Silly me, I thought I shared this scrapbook layout with you long ago. This is a layout I made at my uplines house the last time I was there.  She designed the left-hand page for us to make but I always like to have 2-page layouts. So, I made a second page to go with it! We'll be using the new World Spectacular DSP and  stamps from the Blue Ribbon stamp set. I look forward to making this layout with the Scrap Club on Monday.  I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this posted ladies!   Continue reading

I love this layout of pictures taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom Safari Ride.  We went on the safari trip right away when the park opened in the morning and the animals were up and about, giving us great pictures! I had fun using the new Oval Accent Bigz Clear die and the new Naturals Designer Buttons.  The designer series paper you see is retired, it was recently available on the Clarance Rack but no longer.  There will be a couple different DSP options available for Scrap Club members on Monday evening when we meet to make this as one of our 3 two-page layouts. I should be Continue reading

Yesterday I received a bunch of my Disney pictures in the mailbox.  As always, I wanted to get right to scrapbooking them!  I chose to start out with pictures of the beautiful Epcot Gardens.  I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the gardens the one day as we walked though Epcot making our way from the Magic Kingdom back to our hotel (don't ask, it has to do with wanting to take a boat . . . it ended up being a very long route!) I pulled out the Floral District DSP for a little splash of color but I didn't need much, the lovely garden pictures speak for themselves. We will be Continue reading

When I sat down to make this scrapbook layout I thought I would try to go a different direction than beach pictures which I did for the other two layouts.  Silly me!  As I finished up the layout, I realized these pictures are from FunLand at Rehoboth Beach!  Guess I just wasn't getting away from the beach this month!  Must be missing our yearly trek to Bethany Beach and surrounding beaches! I bought this DSP from the last catalog planning to use it for Scrap Club. . . I'm finally getting there.  Each member of the Scrap Club may have differing sheets of DSP, you'll get to choose which one Continue reading

Yes, purple pages for scrapbooking my beach pictures.  It sounds strange but I like the overall outcome.  The simple pages with the white lettering and trim are lovely!  What do you think?  Of course those in the Stewartstown Scrap Club may choose to use any pictures they like on these pages.  It'll be interesting to see if anyone else uses beach pictures! In case you don't recognize some of the colors on these pages, we are using several retired colors for the square accents, the base color is Pale Plum. We will be making this layout in Scrapbook Club at the Mason Dixon Library on Continue reading
