I Scrapped!

When I discovered Stampin' Up! (around 8 years ago) my scrap booking took a back seat.  I still take photos with scrapbook pages in mind - but it has been awhile since I really sat down and worked on my scrapbooks.  

A few months ago a woman at church asked me if I would help her make a scrapbook.  She wanted to record some highlights of her husband's career in the Marines.   Below are some of the completed pages.

I used Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, and Crumb Cake throughout the album. I also used some non Stampin' Up! "Americana" patterned paper on some of the pages.  I know these pages are simple - but she and her husband were thrilled with the results.

Working on this scrapbook made we want to get back to working on some of my family albums - including one for my own husband's 30 year Navy career!

High Tide #2

This is the second card we made at my stamp classes in July.  Like the other cards, it was made using the High Tide stamp set from Stampin' Up!.  All of the cards we made were inspired by the many amazing cards I saw on Pinterest.

Crumb Cake card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, folded in half
Marina Mist: 4 x 5 1/4
Cherry Cobbler cut from largest layering ovals die
Whisper White stamped piece cut from second largest layering oval die

The water was stamped using Marina Mist ink.  The sun was stamped with So Saffron ink.  The birds and the words were stamped with Night of Navy Ink.

High Tide Sympathy

This past weekend I held stamp classes for the first time since May!  We made five cards using the High Tide stamp set.  This was the first one we stamped - it is a clean and simple card - everything was stamped on a piece of  Whisper White card stock.  I used Pool Party ink to stamp the water/waves.  The sun and words were stamped using Crumb Cake ink.  The birds were stamped using Night of Navy ink.  Once the images were stamped, the white piece was layered on Night of Navy card stock and then layered on a Crumb Cake card base.

TIP:  Always stamp on the white card stock BEFORE adhering the layers together.  That way you can turn the paper over and stamp on the back if you make a mistake!

MEASUREMENTS:     Whisper White card stock: 3 3/4 inches x 5 inches

                                     Night of Navy card stock: 4 inches x 5 1/4 inches

                                     Crumb Cake card stock: 5 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches; scored at 4 1/4

The words "With Sympathy" are from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set.  This card could be used for almost any occasion.

The 6th Card

This is the 6th card we made at Bingo! Stampin' Up! Style in June.  You can see the other cards, and read about that fun event BY CLICKING HERE.  This card was made using the "Crafting Forever" stamp set from Stampin' Up!  I received this stamp set for FREE when I attended Centre Stage in April. That is a special event for Stampin' Up! leaders - before the main event of OnStage the following day (open to all demonstrators.)

The card uses all the brand new In Colors - those strips of card stock behind the stamped image and the colors (markers) used to color in the pens.

Congrats to my Grad!

I'm a little late posting this card - but what's new?!  This is the card I made for my son's high school graduation (back in June.)  When he opened it up - this is what he found inside:

This was a quick and easy card to make (yes - I made it the morning of his graduation!)  The hardest part was making the tassel - but that wasn't even too hard.  Here is a photo of our happy family!

Below is one of the thank you notes I made for Ben.  I used mostly retired Stampin' Up! products.  But the design layout is a quick and easy one to reproduce.

CONTACT ME if you would like more details about this card.
