Scrapping with Stampin' Up's! new Decorative Masks

Decorative Masks are so much fun to use, simple yet so effective. I've used the Star Mask to embellish my Pool Party cardstock. I've just used the Pool Party ink to dauber the stars and then I have also daubered the edges of the cardstock.

School Photo Layout

The time has come to scrap school photos again. Cant believe how quickly it comes around!

I have used paper from Maritime DSP and also made tabs using the Envelope Punch Board.

Flashback Scrapbook Layout

How cool are these colours together? I've also added Newspaper Print to complement the new Flashback DSP papers from Stampin' Up.
It's another versatile layout that will take as many or as few photos as you wish to fit on it. The colour combo is Basic Black, Real Red, Crushed Curry and Pool Party.

Mariner DSP Scrapbook Layout

LOVE LOVE LOVE these papers. Here is the first layout I have made using Stampin' Ups! new MARINER Designer Series Paper. We have been doing some whale watching on the coast during the holidays, so Im going to scrap those photos, but the layout would suit anything beachy or nautical.

Epic Day Layout # 2

Here is the 2nd layout I created using Stampin' Ups! Epic Day DSP. Totally different from the one below. I love the Smoky Slate and Pool Party combo with the hexagon print with a splash of Calypso Coral to give it a bit of vibrancy.

SCRAP CLUB 5 - Retro Fresh!

Loving this new DSP called 'Retro Fresh', but loving more that Stampin' Up! have created lots of lovely co-ordinating items to go with it.

 

Here is the layout I have created using the paper, wooden elements, washi tape and co-ordinating stickers. So easy to create layouts when you have lots of matching elements.

Sweet Sorbet Scrapbooking Layout - Saleabration Time!

I always love Saleabration time. Stampin' Up! never disappoint with their Designer Series Papers they release. I always end up with way too many packs, but they always get used in the end.

Here is the layout I created using this years DSP 'Sweet Sorbet'. I have also used the  matching accessory twine and the matching stamp set 'Petal Parade'. It's a sweet layout and would suit almost any theme. It's my Mum's birthday soon, so I think I might keep this layout for those photos.

 

Using the same papers but a different print, I have also created a more male version of the layout. I've used 'Petal Parade' stamp set still to add some interest to the background sheet and changed the print to a spot, rather than flowers. I have scrapped my Dad's birthday from last year and mounted the photos in a different arrangement.  I've also incorporated the new Banner punch from the Saleabration catalogue.

 

Love how small tweaks completely change a layout.

 

 

Sycamore Street Layout

The Sycamore Street DSP papers by Stampin' Up came in the 2013 Saleabration Catalogue. I have used it a few times and seen some lovely cards made with it. This layout I have made for my next Scrapping workshop.

I didn't design it for a swimming-type layout, but after creating the sample page, went and found these photos that needed scrapping and BINGO - another layout scrapped! I'm not sure that the birdy now suits my page, being a Swimming Carnival layout, but I couldn't push it aside either, he's just too sweet.

Scrap Club # 6

This is the last Scrap Club for this series. I hope everyone is enjoying their Punches and Scrapping Kits and getting plenty of use out of them.

 

For this kit, I have chosen the Elegant Butterfly Punch and mixed it with some Neutrals, First Edition DSP and a couple of Subtle colours. I'm really happy with the layout I created, so I decided to use a different set of colours that came with the kit and came up with a 2nd layout.

 

Hope you like!

Easter Egg Hunt

If you know my type of scrapping, I love to cram as many photos into my double layouts as I can.  I love my photos to tell the story and this one is no exception. There are 8 photos on this one, all cropped, but I'm sure if I needed too, I probably could have cropped and crammed some more.

 

I have used Stampin' Up's 'Birds of a Feather' DSP: a cute little egg print along the bottom with some cute little chicks cut out and glued inbetween the fence die.

 

Guess what? Easter this year is already scrapped, including photos of their letters to the Easter Bunny, so I didn't have to use valuable space pasting it onto my page! Shame I still have last years to finish off. Must get on to that.

Happy Easter everyone!

 

 

New In-Colours Scrap Layout

I just love Stampin' Up's new In-Colours recently released and here I have created a layout using all of them (plus Pool Party as my background). I have also used the new hostess stamp set 'A Cherry on Top' to create not only the cake stand, but also a little trick I found whilst googling, a very cute glass.

 

I thought this layout would suit either a birthday, baking or an adult party or theme, depending on what stamped image you use. It would suit a male or female page. You could also ditch the stamped image and just put a main photo in the middle and cropped photos around the edge, matted in the new In-Colours and change the theme completely.

 

A very versatile layout for lots of photos, or just a few.

Below, instead of the wine glass and the Summer Starfruit matting, I have changed the picture to a cake stand and used white matting.

 

 

 

Monday's Workshop

I call this my Holly Hobby page. The colours remind me so much of Holly Hobby from when I was a little girl.

This is the layout we will be doing on Monday. There is a bit of free-hand drawing in it and lots of stippling, but it should be fun for something a little different.

I've used Spice Cake DSP, another pack I love!

Easter Layout

I 'finally' have the STAMPIN' UP! alphabet stamp set I have been eyeing off FOREVER. It is the 'Just Perfect Alphabet' and it is just that, just perfect! It fits in the new small oval punch, the pennant punch and the 3/4" circle punch and I am sure more.

I have used it to make an Easter heading using the small oval punch, so that the heading looks like little easter eggs. So cute and oh so CASED from Rachael (thanks Rach xo).

I have also used a Sizziz die from their 'Stuffed Animal' set to make the cute bunny.

And as I havent had a chance to print this years Easter photos yet, I have scrapped last years. lol. Well, that's another one to tick off the list.

Stamp Club # 5, 1st March 2012

Here is the layout we will be making for our very last Stamp Club in this round.

I have used the Sale-A-Bration papers, which everyone will be receiving half a pack for FREE. I just LOVE the Sale-A-Bration time of year. 

The colours in this layout include: Soft Suede, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Crumb Cake and I have used the matching stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue, Fresh Vintage, & 2011-12 In-Colour markers to create a cute scalloped embellishment.  Girls, the layout can take more than the 4 photos shown, my photo mountings are purely there to give you an idea.

Can't wait to share Stamp Club # 5 goodies with you all!

Cheaper Than Therapy Submission # 17

I had no idea where this challenge would lead me, but am delighted to say it came together so easily and I am really happy with the end result.

Be sure to blog hop over to Adele and Rachael's and see what they came up with for this challenge.
