New product spotlight

I made this page as a demo for a workshop that I did a few weeks ago. I wanted to show the girls the new paper (right side of pic) in the summer mini catalog....The pattern doesn't appear until you rub/sponge ink onto it, how cool is that?! I was going for a "vitagey" look, so I distressed the scalloped edge, used the very vintage wheel and spritzed the whole page with a smooch spritzer. I will add some journaling on the right hand side eventually!

First Haircut

The DSP I used is retired, Junior Varsity. Old olive, so saffron and bashful blue CS for the background and flowers. I also added matching brads to the flower centers and used the modern label punch for the caption. The ribbon is bashful blue taffeta, and a tiny bit of 1/4 inch whisper white tied around the scallop envelope (sizzix die), closed with a silver flower brad

This is why...

I LOVE my Bigshot!! I was preparing for my Stamp-a-Stack class and this literally took me 5 mins. to prepare. There are 30 of each circle and 30 of each scallop circle!

Tiny Feet

I had to re-do this feet page, I just didn't like the other one. This is pretty basic....the 3 heart punch, and Bella Bleau DSP (SU). I added 3 white heart brads at the bottom.

Chloe and Markus

I seem to have been doing a lot of layouts of Chloe and Markus, but we hang out quite often and they are just so darn cute together (and born only 1 day apart!!) I can't take any credit for the design of this layout...I attended a scrapbook layout class at Carrie Gaskin's (my upline), and this is what she came up with. I love the two step stamping. I have had the layout for awhile and came accross this picture, and the colors seemed perfect!

One year

Whisper white, basic black and craft....flower is from the pretties kit, eyelet border punch and Serif Essentials Alphabet die cut for the letters, in the Night and Day DSP (from the holiday mini). Lastly added the "january" from the Full Calendar stamp set and cut out with the Word window punch

Walking

This picture isn't great, but it turned out pretty cute. I got the idea for the scalloped edge piece from a layout that Heather Summers did awhile back.

Stamps: Big Deal Alphabet (which I embossed and then cut out)

Paper: whisper white, basic black, baja breeze, pacific point, Rockabilly DSP,

Ink: baja breeze, white gel pen

Accessories: 1" punch, cord. buttons, scalloped edge punch, pacific point ribbon, paper piercer and mat pack (hard to see, but it is on the black strips above and below the pics.)

Circles

I am into circles this week! This was using all of my circle punches, and scalloped punch.

Friends

Using up the last of my rub-ons that I received as a hostess gift at the first workshop that I "hostessed" at my house. Colors are: cameo coral, baja breeze, old olive, whisper white, and basic gray.

Playing with my circle scissors

I wasn't sure where I was going with this, but in the end I really liked how it turned out.
I am trying to used up alot of my retired supplies as you will notice in my next few days of posts (DSP, etc). I can't remember the name of this particular paper, but the colors are only orange, old olive, celery, and bashful blue. I did the journaling with my word program and printed it on vellum.

My little pilot

Haloween 2006 (yes, I am really that far behind in my scrapbooking!!)
I am really not sure which specific companies any of these products are from, as it was stuff I found in my craft room. The Airplanes and stars are rub-ons, and for the letters I used the naturally serif alphabet sizzix die (SU). The three circles in the corner are actually metal tags that I mounted on 2" circles.

Tiny Feet

Paper: Bella Bleau DSP, basic black, not quite navy

Ink: none

Stamps: none

Accessories: Hodge Podge hardware, satin ribbon, white gel pen

Halloween

This page is for Mitchell's book. The designer paper is from the last catalog (SU), I cut out 3 1/2 in sqares and mounted them on old olive to go in between the pictures. The bats, spider, and gravestone are a cuttlebug die, and embossing folder (for the gravestone).

Soccer Champs

Mitchell's team won the gold medal and Delta Cup again last season. I used the star wheel for the background, my star sizzix die to cut out the different star sizes and the soccer stamp set. I embossed the images in black and cut them out and placed them in various places popped up with dimensionals.

Halloween 2007

This was Markus' first trip to the Pumkin Patch. He was too cute.
I used a cuttlebug die and matching embossing folder for the pumkins, some chipboared numbers SU cardstock. On the Kraft CS I used the distress wheel (SU) to add some texture to the background.

Friends

Markus and Sofia meet for the first time...now great friends!
Pink piroette, so saffron, baja breeze, notebook spiral punch, star punch.

Yet another day at the park!

These were some random co-ordinating papers that I had and wanted to use up. It's a bit busy, but it works!

Jumping

I am not a huge fan of 2 page layouts, but I seem to be doing a lot of them lately, it is too hard to narrow down to just 1 or 2 pics sometimes!
I used a similar color scheme as the last post: baja breeze, kiwi kiss, basic gray and either Urban Garden or Urban Oasis DP from Stampin' Up. I did the journaling on my computer an printed in on vellum, oh and the Jumble Alphabet (SU)

A day at the park

I used the urban Garden DP (SU) with basic gray and baja breeze paper. I used little strips of gray to seperate the pictures so they didn't run together. The rub-on I used didn't go on very well on the textured cardstock, so I have since fixed it!!

Love this pic!

I used the DP paper from Sale-A-Bration (SU), small and large star punches, and thge Big Deal alphabet which I stamped and cut out for the title. I added 2 star brads (SU) after, because that space seemed to need something. The ribbon is the b&w gingham (SU)
