Scrapbooking with Wetlands

Today I thought I would share with you the scrapbook page I created using the Wetlands Stamp Set (126695/126697) that I submitted for the Convention Challenge.

One of the things I love about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that Stampin’ Up! is always giving us opportunities to learn and grow on a personal level, in addition to indulging our creative side. I love that Stampin’ Up! gives us the tools to create projects that we can use in our every day lives. And as we say goodbye to our 2013 Catalog and welcome our new 2014 Catalog Stampin’ Up! has offered a challenge to demonstrators with a contest to participate in Convention Displays.

I was inspired by a card that I had made earlier for my image and color pallet. I thought the Wetlands stamp set was just perfect for this project, (you’ll notice the sea oats in the photo below.)

Wetlands Summer Themed convention swap

I had a photo that I wanted to make into a home décor item as a gift for my friend. So that’s where I started. (and no, these adorable children aren’t mine LOL.)

Wetlands Scrapbook page

Can you tell what I used for my base? Well, I used a piece of Pool Party from a package of the  Subtles Core’dinations Card Stock (129954) that I spritzed a Stampin’ Spritzer and Baked Brown Sugar to add that feel of sand and sea spray from the ocean.

Did you know that our Core’dinations Card Stock is part of the Retirement List? I was rather sad to see it there since it is great for all kinds of things and I reach for it quite often. It has a wonderful texture on one side and is smooth on the other. So you can not only use it to sand and tear, but it is also great to use to add texture to your project too! And if you love to scrapbook a 12 x 12 page you’re in luck because it comes in pack of 12 x 12 sheets of assorted colors.

Now I just need to place it into a 12 x 12 frame that I’m making for it before I give it to her. I hope she’ll like it. I just love the way it turned out.

MDS2 Band of Blue Photo Book

Tonight is the first football game at our High School and I’m hoping the weather holds up for it. For me that means Band and the half time show. My daughter is a senior this year and has a piccolo solo so it’s a big deal for us.

Here is a peek at the cover.

World Traveler MDS Download

My daughter and I are visiting my sister and brother in-law in Houston. We’re having such a great time together and doing a lot. I can’t decide who is wearing out whom.

Today I wanted to share with you one of our new My Digital Studio downloads, World Traveler. I couldn’t wait to use it – It’s a great deal for just $17.95 and makes putting your vacation photos together sooo easy! Here are a couple of pages I put together quickly this morning over coffee while visiting with my sister. I used the basic photo book template and then just added a couple more photos of my own to the page. It was so easy-peasy.

World Traveler (Item #130066) comes with a 26 page photo book template, 28 piece stamp brush set, 8 Designer Series Paper patterns and 24 embellishments! What a great value.

Stampin’ Up! Retiring: Season of Friendship

Here are some quick and easy scrapbook pages that I made for the different seasons. Season of Friendship is one of our two-step stamp sets. I love the versatility of our two-step stamp sets. They allow you to customize and change things up easily.

This first 12 x 12 scrapbook page is for spring – I used some of Subtles buttons instead of the flower stamp that came in the Season of Friendship set.

This next 12 x 12 scrapbook page is for fall

And this last 12 x 12 scrapbook page is one I did for winter.

You can click here for more on this photo.

I like the fact that we can use our stamps all different ways so – here are the cards I originally made that inspired me to do the scrapbook pages. After all isn’t a scrapbook layout the same thing just bigger?

Leave me a comment and let me know which your favorite is.
