Here we go with another Ocean City scrapbook layout.  You'd think we've been there more than twice with all the pages I've made!  This is from our very first trip when Micah was 18 months old and Jaan in the belly. I very rarely cut people or objects out of my pictures but I just couldn't resist cutting Micah out and putting him in my sand instead of that at OC.  It worked just right.  The sand castle was made with Kraft cardstock and the Spiral Punch with the Word Window Punch at the door and some Real Red grosgrain ribbon for the flag. The letters "OC" for Ocean City were actually cut out Continue reading

Heartfelt Thanks is one of my all time favorite stamp sets!  I love two-step stamping and this set has been wonderful!  There have been people who've wondered in the past if I could do a single event without including this stamp set.  Yes, but . . . . I made this simple scrapbook page a long time ago but I wanted to post it here on my blog for everyone to see.  Sometimes it's nice to see a page that can be done with just one stamp set on hand. I may pull this stamp set out and play with it a bit this week so you're liable to see these flowers again soon!  I hope you' ve had a  wonderful Continue reading

I'm pretty excited about this scrapbook layout I came up with today.  It's a very simple layout and yet I think it looks so neat with the flowers and clouds! The cardstock is Tempting Turquoise and then I used Whisper White Craft Ink to sponge on the clouds (actually, I sponged them on after putting on the pictures but I don't recommend that order!).  The flowers were made with the Daisy die with Ice Circle Rhinestone Brads in the center.  The stems are made from wide grosgrain ribbon. In case anyone is wondering, the pictures on this page were taken on the island of Dominica in the Continue reading

I made this scrapbook page today using the On Board So Tweet chipboard and the Good Morning Sunshine DSP.  I had a lot of fun making it and I'm happy to say we will be making a set of pages very much like this at Scrap Club this month. Have you signed up for the Summer Flower class on Friday night, June 5, in New Freedom?  I would love to have you join us if you so desire!  Please contact me ASAP and I'll sign you up!  I was working on the class today and I have some fun projects planned for us!

Today's scrapbook page was literally made with scraps!  After cutting for some of the Squash Book Kits (they're not all finished due to backordered designer paper), I had a lot of scrap Urban Oasis DSP around so I put it to use.  You may not be able to see, but there is white "stitching" at the bottom and top of the page which I drew on with a white signo gel pen.  There is also "stitching" above and below the pictures drawn on with a Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker.  In the lower right corner are three brads from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. Continue reading

Here is a scrapbook page I did last night at PMS Night and then demonstrated at my party today.  The layout for this page was inspired by one of my upline members, Jan. I made the daisies with the  flower, Daises #2 die on page 196 in the catalog.  The colors for the flowers are Barely Banana and Summer Sun.  The strip of designer paper is from the Good Morning Sunshine pack and the ribbon is the Certainly Celery ribbon from Sale-A-Bration.  When I made the same page at my party today I used the Old Olive Wide Grosgrain Ribbon and I liked that better, it added a bit more color to the overall Continue reading

I had a fun time making this scrapbook page this afternoon!  I have a lot of the Delicate Dots DSP left over from Sale - A - Bration and it seemed just right for this page.  To be quite truthful with you, the whole idea for this page evolved from wanting to do a page with a frog made with the Stampin' Up! punches.  From there I decided to use the DSP, then I chose Bashful Blue for the 12x12 pieces of cardstock, and then I created all the circles followed by the pictures with title and journaling coming in last. Each scrapbook page I create comes about a different  way.  Sometimes I have the Continue reading

Today seems like an appropriate day to post a picture of this scrapbook page.  I was designing this page and thought of my mom with all the blue so I gathered some pictures together of the two of us. I used the Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP and then I added in some flowers and the Top Note cut with the Big Shot and some Satin Ribbon from the mini catalog.  In the center of some of the flowers are Ice Rhinstone Brads. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I love you! Continue reading

Yesterday when I was hunting up graduation pictures I came across these pictures of my best friend from college and myself.  So, this morning when I sat down to scrapbook I immediatly thought of these pictures! I wish the lighting on this picture was better so you could see the page in it's glory a little better.  The background cardstock is Old Olive from the Earth Elements with accents in Pumpkin Pie (also Earth Elements color family) and Whisper White.  The whole reason I chose these colors was becuase I wanted it to be a summer page and wanted to bring out the orange of my friend's Continue reading

I think it's about time I get my college graduation documented.  It's only been 7 years now!  Unfortunately I don't have real great pictures and I didn't find my dad, husband (fiance at the time) or best friend from college in any of the pictures.  Alas, I worked with the pictures I had on hand and created this page. To be quite truthful with you, I sat down with the Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper and some Basic Black cardstock and went from there.  Once I got an idea of the style I wanted to go with then I came up with the pictures and so on.  Our Flowers in Silhouette stamp (a single Continue reading

Here's the scrapbook page I made yesterday.  Isn't my little guy cute?!  He used to love the exersaucer and it was a wonderful place to put him and know he'd be there when you walked back in the room.  Now, however, he's joined the world of walking with his brothers. These pictures were taken on two different occasions.  Once when he was awake, and once when he'd fallen asleep while his brothers were getting haircuts.  I had a lot of pictures for this page and yet at the same time I didn't have quite as many as were needed as I found this idea on Page Maps where I occasionally get Continue reading
