Bubbles Scrapbook page

Bubbles are everywhere on this scrapbook page. 

To create all the circles I used my Circles punches along with the wonderful Circle Scissors Plus circle cutter. 

There are a few important things to remember when using this tool: 

whatever you are cutting needs to be fasten down to the glass mat, you can either tape the ends with some masking tape or use Dotto on the underside. 

Next you will need to hold the device down on the black section of your Circle Plus, spreading your hand over the whole side.  

When using the cutting tip you really do not need to push too hard. 

The paper should cut with ease.

The base of this scrapbook page is a Sheet of the Sweet Slumber Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

This paper is on the Last Chance List. Don't miss out on purchasing the accessories before they are gone for good.

Spring Pictures scrapbook page

This scrapbook layout may look familiar to those of you who took the Springtime Banner card class. 

I used the same basic elements from that card and made it into a double page layout. 

The base of the pages is crafted by 

layering Basic Gray on top of Almost Amethyst. Each picture is framed with Certainly Celery. These colors along with Pretty in Pink and So Saffron coordinate with the Tea Party Designer Series Paper used in the background for SPRING.

Beautiful Little Baby Scrapbook page

This may look a little familiar to you all. I made several of these cute bunnies (like the one from the  Beautiful Little Baby suitcase) I thought it would be a great addition to a scrapbook page.

To dress up the Barely Banana card stock I stamped images from the Seeing Spots stamp set on the page with Barely Banana ink. This allows the images to be seen but blend into the background.

Explore Scrapbook page

Here is another scrapbook page created quickly using a Simply Scrappin' Kit, the Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin' Kit. 

 I love the pattern paper and self adhesive die cuts. 

They add a cute touch to the page.

Brothers Scrapbook page

Another page created by using the Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin' Kit.  

On this page I layered the self adhesive die cuts. 

Using the Big Shot and the GoGo Alphabet Sizzlits Dies

I was able to cut out the titles for the page and yesterdays page. 

I would have to say this is my favorite alphabet to use in my scrapbook. You can get several different looks by using all capitals, all lower case, or a combination.

Sisters Scrapbook page

This scrapbook page was created quickly with the assistance of the Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin' kit. 

Simply Scrappin' Kits come with card stock, pattern paper, and many self adhesive die cuts.

To create this beautiful Flower, 

I used my Big Shot and the Scallop Circle and Flower Daisies #2 Bigz Dies. Layering them with a button from the Button Bouquet Designer Buttons.

If the Halo Fits Scrapbook page

On this scrapbook page I used a Faux Background Technique behind the main image on the Rose Red card stock. Then mounted it on a base of Chocolate Chip Textured Card stock. It adds  some texture to the page.  

I used Eyelet Border, Ticket Corner and Photo Corner punches to complete my page.

  The adorable angel from If the Halo Fits stamp set has been colored and wings glittered to add to the beauty of the page. I added three Chocolate Chip brads from the 5/16" Neutral Assortment Jumbo Brads to dress up the 1" Rose Red Stitched Ribbon.

Look at them Grow Scrapbook page

Using the ideas in the flowers over the fence card, I then created a scrapbook page.

Here I choose to color a sky background using a sponge and Baja Breeze Classic Ink.

For my lettering I used my Big Shot with the Naturally Serif Decorative die and Go Go Boots Alphabet sizzlit dies. A must have!

Then you cut letters in any color you choose and you won't run out of vowels. Just cut more.

I layered pieces to give more dimensional look.

Regional make and takes.

Here are a few of my completed make and takes from the Va Beach Regionals. Each project uses cute embellishments. This 8-1/2" scrapbook page uses the snowflake from the Best Wishes & more stamp set. 

The tree comes from the Scandinavian Season set from the Holiday mini. I wasn't sure if I like this set at first, but after water coloring it, I realize how beautiful this image can be.

SCRAPBOOK PAGE: Sweet Little One

This Sweet Little One is my youngest son Jonathan. It is hard to believe he was that small. 

 I stamped the Bugs and Kisses set in Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue. What a sweet boy page! I added a card made to look like a little baby shirt. the letters are the Sizzix GoGo Boots. 

SCRAPBOOK PAGE: Fall

Fall is here. I created a Scrapbook page to fit in with the season. First I stamped my paper with the sanded background stamp then I cut out my leaves using the Sizzix Leaves #2 Die cut on the Big Shot. I used the Sizzix Basket and Blooms Die Cuts to make my bucket.

( yes, the leaves do look as if they are spilling out.)

SCRAPBOOK PAGE: Trick or Treat

Looking through some containers of old Photos I discovered a few Halloween pictures. There were only one of each year so I thought I would put them together on a page. The Designer paper Juntos (available in the Spanish SU! catalog) and coordinating colors gives such a fall feeling to the page.

SCRAPBOOK PAGE: Let it Snow

I just mounted my Two Cool Dudes stampset and just had to use it. 

So I created this scrapbook page using 3 of the 4 stamps. I also used the Big Shot with the GoGo Boots Die Cut alphabet.

FUN in the SUN scrapbook page

Here are the 6 x 6 pages we will make in my Scrappin' Class this afternoon. I am trying to encourage the use of stamps in albums. They make such a cute addition.  We also used the Big Shot GOGO BOOTS alphabet die cuts for our lettering. 

But not everyone has 6 x 6 albums so I showed how they could easily be converted to               

8-1/2 x 11 album page or even 12 x 12 album pages.
