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.

Rich Razzleberry Scrapbook layout

I love this colour combo: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Whisper White. It's soft, bright and warm all at once (assuming that's possible).

 

Here is the layout I have put together for my next workshop using these colours.

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.

Baby Layout with new Lullaby DSP!

Love a new catalogue with new papers to play with. This layout is made using Stampin' Ups! new LULLABY Designer Series Paper.

I have also co-ordinated it with the matching stamp set 'Something For Baby'. The images sizes are great for adding detail to a scrapbook page. And the papers also allow for a boy version too using Pool Party, Baked Brown Sugar and Hello Honey. The colours in the girl layout I have made are Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar and Hello Honey.

 

 

'Dear Santa' Scrapbook Layout

Im not normally one to do Christmas in July, but for my next workshop, we will be scrapping our Christmas photos. I have created this one to scrap Christmas morning photos, but it could be used to scrap a Santa photo or a school Christmas concert.

 

I love Santa falling down the chimney. This image has been created using punches and my husband's sketching ability for Santa's sack. There is lots of daubering to give the image shading and definition. It should be fun to create! Oh and not to forget the Envelope Board Punch to create our letter to Santa.

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.

Epic Day Scrapbook Layout

Epic Day Designer Series Paper has been out since September, but it has taken me until now to buy a pack. I'm not sure why but I'm glad I finally have.  I have created two layouts now with it and I'm really happy with both of them, yet they are both really quite different.

Here is the first layout I have created. I have a few (well 100's) of cricket photos to scrap, so I think I'm going to use this layout for my son's album. His baggy cap is green and gold, so I think the papers will match and add some vibrancy to the rest of his white garb. ;)

Another take on Modern Melody

Here is a layout I have created (or CASED I should say) using Stampin' Up's Modern Melody. I took inspiration for this layout from Krista's Crafty Corner (http://kristascraftycorner.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/for-always-workshop-on-go.html) who has done quite a few black and white layouts and just added a splash of colour to give it some vibrancy.

This layout is quite a jigsaw puzzle to put together, but I like the fact by changing a simple piece of cardstock to another colour, it can be used to suit whatever photos you have.

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.

 

 

Merry Christmas!

This year I made a Santa Sleigh layout as my Christmas gift to my lovely scrapping ladies. Here it is, using the Top Note die to make the sleigh out of Stampin' Up! glitter red paper. The stars are punched out of Stampin' Up! silver glitter paper and my new Chevron punch made a small debut as well.

 

Hope you like! And of course, Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

Birthday Basics DSP = A Perfect Layout For An 8 Year Old's Birthday

As always I had HEAPS of photos to scrap for my daughter's 8th birthday and the new Birthday Basics DSP was the perfect paper to suit the theme.

I firstly scrapped using these 3 patterns in the DSP pack (balloons, candles and numbers) and added some balloon embellishments with my oval punches:

Then when I flipped these exact papers over, they all matched beautifully too! So, the above layout is for her album, and the below one for mine. The one below needn't be a birthday theme, but would suit any photos.

 

(Both these layouts are using Pear Pizzazz as the background colour, both photos taken at different times of the day, one with a flash, one without, hence the colour variance.)

Modern Melody Layout 2

This is my distressed layout, very different from the layout I posted yesterday, but using the same paper pack Modern Melody.

 

I love the crumpled distressed look and think it really suits a boy layout. What I really LOVE about this layout, is it is so easy to match it to your photos by just changing the background 12 x 12 colour. I have used Cherry Cobbler here, but any colour would be fine. Turn the newspaper print DSP over and it is a black background with a vanilla polka dot, making the layout even more versatile.

 

So, here finally, is Ben's 2012 Book Week photos scrapped. DONE!

Modern Melody Layout 1

So, I was a little chuffed I received a bundle from Stampin' Up!'s new catalogue this week and it has already led me to getting two layouts done. The goodies included the new DSP Modern Melody, Happy Day stamp set and some cute little Essential Hardware Clips.

 

My first layout is rather clean-cut and bold and the other very different, ripped and distressed, both using papers from Modern Melody. I've used similar colours, but using different techniques makes these pages so, so different.

 

I am going to post the first layout I made today, then will post the other tomorrow.

 

Oh, and I finally embossed! Wahooo!! Something I've been meaning to add to my scrapping for yonks!

Here is a close-up:

 

 

I've used the layout for my daughter's 6" x 8" physie photos, but as you can see on the top layout, the layout will allow lots of photos.
