It's been a while since I've been able to work on the scrapbook for my dad. I'm very excited to share this scrapbook layout with you that I was able to make yesterday. This layout has pictures of my grandparents. The left hand page has a Christmas card with my grandparents picture on it. I wish it wasn't so hard to take pictures of scrapbook pages! The flash always reflects off the picture. The colors for these pages are Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Bravo Burgundy. The Bravo Burgundy cardstock has the large image from the Wedding Sweet stamp set stamped on it in Bravo Continue reading
30 Minute Scrapbook Sketch Challenge
I've been pretty bad about doing the Stamp-A-Holics timed challenges lately - I'm sorry! I love doing these, I just don't seem to have a lot of the "time" part lately! This week we have a scrapbook sketch challenge (and I came up with it using our MDS!). We are supposed to look at this sketch and then go and make a scrapbook page looking something like this within 30 minutes. Okay, ready or not, here I go! I'm ready to stamp! The first order of business is some stamping. (Do you see the purple ornament - that was an oops! That's what happens when you leave an uncleaned stamp Continue reading
Thanksgiving Scrapbook Page Layout
I wanted to share this scrapbook page with you that we are making in Scrap Club this month. Last month as we were talking I found out that the ladies all have pictures of Thanksgiving, the funny part, I don't think I have any from any Thanksgiving! I guess I'm always to busy cooking the turkey to take a picture of it! Well, now I have a scrapbook page made so I need to make sure I take some pictures this year! We are using the Autumn Harvest stamp set to stamp the pumpkins, squash and acorns you see on both the Chocolate Chip and So Saffron cardstocks. It makes a lovely Thanksgiving Continue reading
Daddy's Birthday Scrapbook Page
I made a fun birthday scrapbook page from the pictures I took on my husband's birthday last week. (Can you believe I already have them printed and scrapped? I can't!) Well, I'll admit I hurried to put the pages together because I promised we would make some birthday pages . . . . On this page you can see we will be using the Simple Birthday Thanks stamp set. The paper cup of the cupcakes makes the perfect section for journaling! The colors we are using on the page are Rich Razzleberry, Baja Breeze, Marina Mist and Whisper White. I look forward to sharing this fun page with the Continue reading
Jolly Holiday Tree Scrapbook Page
Today I want to share a scrapbook page I've been making for my hostesses at their parties over the last month. I think it's so cute with the fun Jolly Holiday DSP! I used stamps from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set along with the Swirls Scribbles and Scallop #2 Big Shot dies, Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Basic Pearls, the Scallop Edge Punch and Circle Scissor Plus. That sounds like a lot of supplies for a 12x12 scrapbook page but it is really fast to make and a lovely layout for either a scrapbook page or framed art on the wall. I have another busy week coming up with a Christmas Card class, Continue reading
October Scrapbook Club Layouts
It's time for Scrap Club again! The Scrap Club meets the third Monday of each month, and that's only two days away so I'm going to show you all three layouts here in one post. Ready? This layout uses Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait and Whisper White. I tried to use fall colors for this page but I think there is a large variety of pictures you could use on this page. Think raking leaves, colorful trees, hayrides, pumpkin patch . . . . Club members who wish to bring their pictures to class will need the following size pictures: (1) 4"w x 6"h (3) 3" square (3) 3"w x Continue reading
Jolly Holiday Scrapbook Page
Welcome back to the Holiday Madness blog tour! I am part of a design team where I have to make certain projects within a certain amount of time each Friday. This week we are supposed to create a scrapbook page in 45 minutes (that's a change, it used to be we only had 20 minutes). I hope you will bear with me as I use the project for the design team and the blog tour all at the same time! It was my week to come up with the sketch so I used My Digital Studio to make the sketch you see ablove. My was to create a scrapbook page that looks sort of like this. I have a holiday idea in my Continue reading
Hello Baby Scrapbook Page
This is a scrapbook page the Scrap Club will be making on Monday. We will be using the Elegant Soiree DSP along with the Elegant Lines embossing folder, rhinestones, Very Vanilla satin ribbon and the Swirls Scribbles die. These pictures were the first professional pictures taken of my second son, Jaan after he was born. My pictures just don't do the pages justice! You have to see this detail in real life to appreciate the beauty! I think the members of the Scrap Club are going to love this page! There are so many different pictures that could go on here other than just baby pictures. Continue reading
Top Note Fun Faces
There are so many fun faces that can be made with the Top Note die! I have seen Frankenstein, Santa, Mrs. Claus and more. We are able to make two of these faces in the Top Note Fun class and I thought you might like to see them! This is my favorite. After making this snowman the other day I held it up and asked my four year old what it is. His reply, "it's a square snowman." Leave it to a four-year-old! This Uncle Sam would be wonderful on a patriotic card or scrapbook page. Isn't he cute? Thank you for stopping by to visit today! Continue reading
SAH Scrapbook Sketch Challenge
For this weeks Stamp-A-Holics Challenge we were given a sketch to make a scrapbook page. Now a scrapbook challenge means I have 20 minutes. As I sat there, before starting the clock, I could only think of one thing I wanted to do, and I knew it was going to take way longer than 20 minutes! You know, I thought about conveniently forgetting to take a picture of the clock but I knew I couldn't do that. . . . The first task was time consuming. I decided to cut these lovely flowers out of a sheet of the Deck the Halls DSP. The trickiest part was that I had to keep the cut out piece as Continue reading
Silly Bandz Scrapbook Page
I had a lot of fun making this scrapbook layout! My kids think Silly Bandz are great and they recently received them from a great friend (thank you!) I snapped some pictures knowing right away I wanted to make a sccrapbook layout. I used our punches to make the "silly bandz" on these pages. Some were super easy because we have corresponding punches of various sizes. For others, I punched an image and then cut around the punched image. With a good pair of scissors, like the Paper Snips, it's not hard to cut cut them out rather quickly. We are going to making this scrapbook layout for Continue reading
Scrapbooking Military Photos Taken in Europe
Today we have another scrapbook layout from my brother's scrapbook I made earlier this month. This is a simple layout that worked very well for a 2-page layout with only 3 pictures to work with. If you look closely you'll see the name of the country 3 times on each page (once in white and the other two times faintly in the navy. This started out as a mistake when I accidentally glued "France" on upside down. To fix my error, I purposefully wrote the name of each country a few more times with the 2-way glue pen. When the glue was just about dry I used the adhesive eraser on it I think it Continue reading
