The Stewartstown Scrap Club meeting is right around the corner already this month!  I thought it would be nice to have a water page as we enter the summer months and vacation season. This is a pretty simple layout but what is better than a simple layout for the beach? I look forward to making this layout with the members of the Scrapbook Club on Monday! Don't forget, today is the last day to join in the new June 2012 Idea Book & Catalog shares.  I hope you'll considering join us if you haven't already. Thank you for stopping by to visit today!

I had fun creating the scrapbook pages for the 6x6 Scrapbook In A Day class yesterday!    I used a variety new items, retiring, and a couple already retired items to complete the pages.  On this particular layout I used the new World Treasures stamp set that will come out in the new Idea Book & Catalog on Friday. Can you see something new on this layout?  Unfortunately this colors are way off in these pictures, the pages look so much better in person!  The colors here are really Marina Mist, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery. . . Once again, the color doesn't look right in Continue reading

I completed the scrapbook layout I showed you earlier.  I decided to use Stampin' Up! punches to create Goofy!  He's so very cute don't you think? Here's a closer look for you.  He fits in with the pictures so well!  I look forward to sharing him with the Scrapbook Club on Monday! The second page has the "Green Army Man" (as his autograph says) from Toy Story.  Once again I used silver and gold stars as I mentioned yesterday. Of course we're focusing on Disney pages this month but this layout could also work for parades too!  The gold and silver stars remind me of a marching Continue reading

I wish you could see this scrapbook page in person!  This picturedoesn't do it justice at all!  I used some gold ink refill (we used to sell it a few years back) to color some of our silver glitter paper gold.  I used a retired star punch to punch the gold and silver glitter paper for the stars so they're nice and sparkly! In the upper right corner is a page cut from the autograph book Stampin' Up! gave to Ethan.  Both Pluto and Goofy signed it but it's hard to see in the picture.  I'm not sure if I'm totally done with this page and I still want to make it into a 2-page layout but I thought Continue reading

You know you're a scrapbooker when you walk around taking pictures of shower curtains, carpets, chairs, lamps and even soap!  That's exactly what I did at the Boardwalk Inn Resort when we were at Disney a few weeks ago.  Crazy?  They had Mickey Mouse everywhere!  I even found myself checking the unopened roll of toilet paper to see if I could find a Mickey on the wrapper!  (By the way, no, I didn't find one.) Just in case you are wondering, the Mickey in the upper left corner is a picture of a sign in the hotel room and then I cut it out.  The lettering you see on this page is all Continue reading

We recently took the boys to see Jonah at Sight & Sound.  It was great!  Seeing as this is really the first time they have been to Sight & Sound (well, Micah went at 6 weeks old but that doesn't count does it?), I wanted to make sure we documented the trip.  With this particular page I wanted to show the different signs advertising the program.  I will make another page with some pictures of the boys. This is a very simple layout, one putting all the focus on the pictures which is great with these bright and colorful pictures!  I pulled out my new alphabet dies again - the Continue reading

If you are friends with me on Facebook, you have probably seen pictures (and more pictures) of my boys and their Jenga creations!  Once in a great while we play a "real" game of Jenga, but more often than not, the blocks are used for building very intricate buildings.  (Yes, we have just a few sets of the game - 10 to be exact!)  I wanted to capture some of those special times on a scrapbook page! I'm afraid I am not one of the wonderful Jenga creators of the household but I did my best trying to build a tower out of paper blocks.  Can you tell that's what it's supposed to be?  My husband Continue reading

A box of pictures arrived in the mail yesterday, that means it's scrapbooking time!!  It's always so much fun to receive a batch of newly printed pictures of recent activities, it always spurs me to get to scrapbooking! On Monday of last week the boys and I set out to plant some vegetable seeds.  We planted cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, onions and carrots.  This is the first year Ethan has had a hand in planting, he was very excited and Micah and Jaan were excited to try out some new vegetables this year. I couldn't resist pairing these pictures with the new Stampin' Up! Summer Smooches Continue reading

Yesterday I shared this fun scrapbook accent we made as a make n take at the crop yesterday.  We used the new Bright Blossoms stamp set, Summer Smooches DSP, Summer Smooches Designer Fabric Brads. Here's the scrapbook page I put my accent on.  It's a very simple page but I think it's fun with our new Stampin' Up! paper and of course my little subject! Thank you for stopping by today.  I'm excited for the Gift Giving class which begins tomorrow!  Are you signed up? Gift Giving We’re going to make a fun 3-D project with matching card.  The project and card together will make a Continue reading

I want to share just a few more pictures from the last Scrapbook in a Day Class.  I just love this album and how it turned out! We used the Stampin' Up! Side Notes for this scrapbook.  Have you noticed those in the Idea Book & Catalog?  It was a consensus among those attending the classes that they had never noticed them.  You can see them on page 190 right above the 6x6 Designer Albums.  Aren't they fun looking? Here are some more of them on another page we made.  They're a great embellishment!  I'll admit I wasn't real excited about them at first, but I'm changing my mind! I Continue reading

I'm excited to share the other two scrapbook layouts we will be making at Scrap Club on Monday evening.  Here's one featuring some pictures from the island of Dominica in the Caribbean. I used the Alphabet Simple Letters dies for the title.  I just recently go these dies, they're great! I used the Everyday Enchantment DSP for this layout.  It's so pretty!  I love this Designer Series Paper, because it's beautiful but also because it's free!  You've gotta love free! I used the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper on this layout too.  This is a record of a kindergarten Continue reading
