Scrap Club Round 3: Sanding, Distressing & Spritzing

Scrap Club Round 3 sees a stash of the new 2013-2015 In-Colour cardstock and DSP Stack. I have teamed it up with the Core-dinations 12 x 12 Cardstock, Stampin' Sanding System, Stampin' Distress Tool (all on page 157)  and a pack of two Stampin' Spritzers (pg 164).

 

Here is the layout I have made using the Scrap Club kit and the stamp set 'By The Tide'. The 12 x 12 Baked Brown Sugar Core'dinations card stock has been sanded to give it a distressed look. I have stamped the coral onto the Coastal Cabana cardstock, then spritzed it with Baked Brown Sugar to give it a watery look. The baked brown sugar photo matts have been distressed with the Stampin' Distress Tool.

 

Of course this doesn't need to be a water-themed layout and can be changed easily enough with a different stamp set, but with summer on it's way, Im sure there will be plenty of swimming, fishing and boating to be enjoyed.

Looking forward to sharing this with my Scrap Club ladies.

Honey Bee SWEET!

How cute is this little stamped honey bee? And then cut out with Stampin' Up's! new Hexagon punch. I tried to resist buying this punch, but soon found out I couldn't live without it. 

 

 

 

I am going to run the title sideways on the 1st page, up beside the daffodil delight 5" x 7" matt, but this matt could also be turned around to become a landscape print and the heading run along the top.

 

I've also used the new In-Colour 'Baked Brown Sugar' for the 1st time on a layout, I think I might be using this a lot more in the future. :)

 

'I Am Me' Scrapbook Layout

I loved this paper the moment I saw it in the catalogue. I love the colours and the prints. Here is the layout I have put together using the camera print and the Filmstrip stamp.

 

 

Oh and I used Washi Tape for the first time! Yep, it's only a small addition, but it's so easy and adds a nice extra element to the page.

SCRAP CLUB Round 2: Tools & Techniques

Scrap Club Round 2 Tools & Techniques brings us the Stampin' Up Stampin' Around Wheel. I have chosen the Gingham wheel for the kit as I think it is very versatile for card and scrapbook layouts and matches the gorgeous new DSP 'Gingham Garden', also included in the kit.

 

Here is the layout I have designed using the Stampin' Around Wheel and Gingham Garden papers:

And here is a card I have created also utilising the wheel.

 

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.)

You Are My Sunshine! Scrapbook Layout

Isnt this the cutest stamp: You Are My Sunshine!

I created this layout with the intention of scrapping one of my babes out in the sunshine:

And then this is what I scrapped: A day out kayaking with friends at Murrays Beach. LOL.

 

It was a beautiful Autumn day last Easter holidays, so the sun just reminds me of just what a gorgeous day it was.

SCRAP CLUB Round 1: Soho Subway Meets Simply Pressed Clay!

Scrap Club this year is 'Tools N Techniques' and when the new catalogue came out I couldn't wait to try the new Simply Pressed Clay.

 

So, the first round of Scrap Club had to include the this moulding clay, the Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Moulds and a re-inker.

 

I've had a few days to play with it and have come up with the following layout using the new Soho Subway DSP.

 

Here is my layout, Mother's Day Picnic this year. We had such a lovely day. Shame my photography wasn't great, but still lots of awesome memories to treasure.

 

 

 

And a little sneaky close-up of the buttons & blossoms we will be making.
