Quick Scrapbooking with Divided pages!

Here are pictures of the pages we made in my scrapbooking  class last week. I think these new divided pages are so cool. It makes scrapbooking go really fast! I'm definitely going to be incorporating pages like these into future scrapbooks! We used the scrapbook kit Bandstand. These kits are great too. The stickers and nice an thick and you barely need to do any stamping or add much to your pages and they go along very quickly! The only things we used that didn't come in the kits was some bakers twine and some punches to make the large flowers.

tropical album

For those of you who missed my album class, I wanted to share photos with you. It turned out REALLY cute! The photos don't do it justice but you will get an idea anyway...

here's the first page:

We used a the Island Floral Big shot die to make most of the big flowers. This die is really cool!

To create a quick and easy background page, I just stamped all over it with pumpkin pie ink on pumpkin pie cardstock...makes a cool tone-on-tone look!

I love how the palm trees look in this one:

To make the photo corners, punch out a scallop square and cut in half diagonally:

I forget sometimes how nice just a plain, white page can look:


This spread was pretty simple....although the girls didn't like cutting out the flowers!

This spread is my favorite. I used the square lattice embossing folder in the Big Shot to create the texture on the soft suede paper and then traced around a spool of ribbon to make the circle for the coconut. Add some flowers and a drinking straw...isn't that super cute?

And, of course, I had to use the ice cream cones somewhere. Love these cute little guys!


And finally, the last page....what a cute album. I can't wait to take some summer pix to fill it with!

I'm going Stamping Tomorrow!!

I'm SO EXCITED!!! Tomorrow is the Stampin' Up Regional Seminar in Milwaukee and I'm going!!! I've never had a chance to attend a Stampin' Up! Event before so this should be tons of fun! Stay tuned since I'm sure I will have lots of fun photos to share when I return...

Until then, Here's pictures of the pages we did at my first fabulous Scrapbook class. This class turned out to be a lot of fun!


We made two 12 x 12 page spreads. The first spread we did used the Daisy die in the Big Shot to make all kinds of fun Daisies for spring. It also uses the swirly stamp from the Baroque Motifs stamp set and the Lovely Letters Alphabet.


I just love how this one turned out. I purchased the On Board So Tweet birds forever ago and having been wanting to use them so this was the perfect opportunity. I covered the bird with paper from the Sweet Pea Designer paper pack. I also used the designer paper to punch out the XL flowers on the second page. I love how this all coordinates together with the Good Friend stamp set. And, of course, I had to use the Top Note die for the Big shot.... since it's my favorite!

Well, I have to go get my bag packed for tomorrow! Hope you have a good weekend!

Sending Love Valentine Album

Here is a Valentine album that I made using the Sending Love Specialty Paper and some new stamp sets from the Occasions Mini. It fits nicely inside this little tin. If you are coming to my class on friday, you will get to make one of your own! Here are some more photos. The first one is of the cover. I used real red card stock as the base. I also used the new Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch to create the main flower. The stamp set is the new With all my Heart set.


When you fold it out, there are 4 panels. Here's what the inside looks like-- I picked some of my favorite pics of my and my hubby from this year and then decorated the pages.


And here is the back side. These little albums are fun and quick to make. The part that took the longest was finding and printing the photos!


If you want to make one of your own and can come by on Friday, sign up for my class today!

Hobbes and Heidi Grace

I made this layout for a project at my work. I had to make a couple of projects using the new Heidi Grace Clear stamps and coordinating papers. I have never used clear stamps before and found it a bit challenging. I discover that they work best with craft ink (the slower drying kind) and I'm not very patient about waiting for it to dry so I kept smuding it and getting it on my fingers...but I think the page with my cat, Hobbes, turned out really cute.

This was a card using the same Heidi Grace, Wild Daisy Stamp Set. I stamped the flower with Chocolate chip craft ink and then colored it with markers.

Baby Newton....

Here are the first pages I completed for my kitty scrapbook. I want to make a scrapbook featuring my kitties and I started out doing baby pictures of Newton. I got Newton when he was just several weeks old...he's so tiny and cute! I can't believe how small he was! It was so much fun to go back and find these photos of him when he was so small. I hope you don't get tired of seeing cat photos, since I have a ton left to scrapbook!

stamps: Big Deal Alphabet, polka dots and petals
paper: So Saffron, chocolate chip, certainly celery
embellishments: non-SU chipboard flowers, Round tab punch
