Sneak Peak - Elementary Build a Wheels

I had a lot of fun making this scrapbook page. The letters are cut with the Simple Alphabet and textured with the square lattice embossing folder. I also punched out the stars and textured them. I used the spiral punch for the border beside the class picture. And, finally, I loved using the new build a wheels: Elementary Alphabet, For Teacher, School Colors. I also used the Tasteful Trim die for the blue borders. Colors used include: Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point, Daffodil Yellow, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler. Enjoy!

Nature Walk and Botanical Gazette

The new Botanical Gazette DSP and stamp set Nature Walk are very realistic with natural designs. The paper has a warm, muted color palette and is, honestly, nothing I would have ever chosen in the past. Lately I have been very attracted to anything with nature in it. I used this paper to scrapbook pictures of my daughter we took during a family photo shoot in October. Instead of using the usual bright pink papers for her, I choose this botanical gazette suite and I love how the pictures pop off the pages. I also used the new stamp set Notes and Details and the new alphabet stamp set Broadsheet Alphabet. The new Framed Tulips textured impressions embossing folder was used to frame her picture. I used seam binding in Rose Red for the bow and the Crochet Trim Victoria lace ribbon 5/8" for the border on the top. Many of these items can be found in the new Occasions Mini catalog. Enjoy!

Party This Way!

This was a fun page to create. I did case it from another Stampin' Up demonstrator (I am sorry, I don't remember who.) It uses the new Tasteful Trim Bigz die. I used a 6 X 12 sheet of Real Red, Pacific Point and Old Olive card stock and ran them through the Big Shot using the Tasteful Trim die. I used all the strips on both pages of Bashful Blue card stock. I also used the Party This Way and Sweet Shoppe Alphabet stamp sets for my banner to spell out "Happy Birthday". I stamped the balloons and signs "Party this Way" with the Party this Way stamp set and cut them out for my page. Can't wait to add pictures of my son Kyle's last birthday. Enjoy!

Happy Fall Y'All!

I had so much today playing with new stuff. The Day of Gratitude stamp set is growing on me a lot. I used it on these fall layout pages along with the new Autumn Spice Designer Series Paper. Another new tool that I cannot live without now that I have it is the new Bigz XL die Tasteful Trim. It is fantastic for making borders on scrapbook pages. I simply can't put it down! I also used the new Decorative Label punch. All products can be found in the Fall-Winter mini. I also used another new favorite stamp set from the new big book....Broadsheet Alphabet. Love the letters! I used them to spell out "Fall Fun". I used new colors Early Espresso and Cajun Craze along with More Mustard. On the bottom layout, I cut out my letters using the Billboard Decorative Strip Die. Thanks for looking! Enjoy!

Love Letter and Notably Ornate

I was so excited to finally be able to scrapbook these prom photos of my son and his girlfriend. When I spotted the Love Letter DSP, I knew I had finally found what I was looking for. Sara loves the color red and anything Vintage, so I know she will love these pages too. I used Love Letter (117162) and Notably Ornate (clear mount 120561 and wood mount 117098). I also used my new favorite Big Shot Die....the new Bigz XL Die Tasteful Trim ( 120893). I know this die is going to see a ton of use on my scrapbook pages. It cuts the perfect borders for 12 x 12 scrapbook pages. Love it! I also used the Timeless Type letters and the Naturally Serif dies to cut out my letters and numbers. Scallop Heart of Hearts was used to make the awesome polka dot heart. Thanks for viewing and enjoy!

Flower Girl and New In colors

Okay, I have been working on this layout for a couple of days and I keep getting interrupted by my children. That's okay, because I know I will miss having them around all the time when school starts. I don't know if I am completely done with these pages, but here they are for now. I used Broadsheet Alphabet (clear mount 120585 wood mount 119724) and the Ornate Blossom stamp (117094). I used Greenhouse Gala DSP (117167) again! I do have other new paper packs that I love...I will be getting to them soon. I used the new Blushing Bride 12 x 12 paper for my background. Almost forgot the scallop trim border punch (118402). I stamped Flower Girl with all the new In Colors. Still need to put my daughter's name and date on here. Might die cut some flowers and add them to the pages too. Thanks for looking! I added Floral Fusion die cut flowers (115969) and Swirls & Scribbles (113441).

Happy I Do Day

This was a fun scrapbook layout to do. I used Greenhouse Gala DSP (117167) and the new stamp set Word Play (clear mount 120651 and wood mount 120308). I also used Big Shot dies Flower Daises #2 (114520 and Top Note (113463). Also used Pear Pizazz, Peach Parfait, Real Red and Whisper White cardstock. I hope to scrapbook another page of my daughter's individual pictures as flower girl.
