Stampin' Up! Elements of Style Scrapbook Page

It's been so long since I've posted on my blog, I may have forgotten how!  I was busy getting ready for a community crop and then my parents were staying with us for about 2 weeks to help build the chicken coup and then I had to get caught up on my "work" and a workshop! Whew!  I got some cardmaking done today and while my mom was here, so I'll have lots of fun posts to share with you this week.  But wouldn't you know, I've caught the crud and don't really have the energy to sit here...I feel the couch and a hot cup of tea calling me.
So here's a photo of one of the scrapbook pages I made when I was cropping and a card option.  The tag was the make and take I provided at the crop.  I think the ladies liked it.
Please, please don't hesitate to comment or email me with any questions you have about the page or the card.  I check them regularly, and love hearing from you!

 

   

The photos are of me and my husband on our honeymoon almost 6 years ago at the Hotel Del Coronado on the Coronado Island in San Diego.  Isn't that the most beautiful bougainvillea you've ever seen?  And I love the way the Elements of Style stamp set enhances these photos.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easy Stampin' Up! Ice Cream Parlor scrapbook page

I made this scrapbook page the other day and wanted to share it with you since I used the Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I traced the chipboard on Old Olive Paper cut out and glued to the Chipboard.  After the glue was dry, I rubbed Versamark ink all over it and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Other than that, the page was really easy.  These photos of my boy are a few years old and were taken in San Diego.  I miss southern California.

The Ice Cream Parlor paper and the buttons and ribbon pack are FREE items that you can choose when you place an order of $50 right now during Sale-A-Bration.

Casing Shelli scrapbook page

This is a photo of my parents at my wedding.  It was REALLY hot that day!!  I think the tall tales have the temperature up to 304 that day.
Anyway, I didn't get to go to leadership this year, but got to see the photos that my friend took of one of Shelli Gardner's scrapbook pages and this is my take on it...

I love the vintage distressed look and of cours, all the pink!!  It actually went together quicker than I expected.  The flowers were made out of blush blossom and pretty in pink cardstock and the Flower Layers with Leaf die for the Big Shot (a must have), and circle punches.  each pieces was crumpled and sponged with the same color of ink.  The punched circles were distressed around the edges using the distressing tool.  The background paper was made by rolling the Very Vintage wheel in chocolate chip on very vanilla cardstock (8 1/2 x 8 1/2), then sponging on pretty in pink and blush blossom ink all over the page.  The photo is 4 x4 and the photo mat is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches. 

Thanks for taking a peek and if I didn't add enough details here for you, please let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Stamping,

Kelly

Hostess Appreciation Projects

I've invited my hostesses over for dinner tomorrow night and we're going to make these projects:

Actually, we're only making the card and the pillow box.  The scrapbook page is an example of all the great things you can do with our marvelous stamp sets!  I hope they like them. 

Ingredients: Hello Again stamp set, retro remix wheel, real red, old olive, pumpkin pie, kraft cardstock and ink, old olive 1/4 grosgrain ribbon, big shot, curly label Bigz XL die, pillow box die, scalloped border punch, scalloped square punch, spiral punch, corner punch, tag punch, 1" circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, stampin dimensionals, paper snips

The scalloped edge on the tag was done with the scalloped square punch.  the scalloped square is just slightly larger, so I trimmed it to fit.  Cute huh?

The scrapbook page is 81/2 x 8 1/2.  The photo mount is 4x5. Got questions...just ask!

This stamp set Hello Again is available FREE right now with a $50 purchase. 

Check out the Sale-A-Bration catalog! and then go shopping ONLINE at my store.

Well, this is neat...what on earth made the formatting go back to "left" is beyond me...nice blogger.

The next hostess appreciation dinner will be in August 2010, so BE A HOSTESS before then!!! :-)

This is a shameless scraplift from the Jenni Bowlin gallery on Scrapbook.com. Her page is called peek. I thought her page was adorable and it immediately ispired me to make this page, which I also think is adorable. It's adorable because of that adorable boy who climbed up into the tomato plants and helped himself to the green tomatoes right off the vine.
The page was composed using Stampin Up stamps, ink, paper and punches. I also used Basic Grey paper, and I did some hand stiching after I poked holes with my Tim Holtz design ruler (love this ruler!!)

I love these photos of Jackson from last May. He is so expressive and adorable. These PJ's are some that I had saved from Schuyler, his 16 year old brother. The paper is Basic Grey and were some scraps that I wanted to use, so I made the paper pieced background before I chose the photos. The letter stickers are American Crafts. They were originally white; I painted them with acrylic paint and used the same paint to distress the edges of the background cardstock. I don't know the brand name of the tag stickers but I think they are adorable on this layout. The lamb and tags were made with Quickutz
