Celebrate 8

Hi Everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I've posted... I've been busy doing non-stamping things like painting, wrangling with a new computer, and darned if I know what else. The time just flies when you're having fun they say... so I guess I must have been having lots of fun!!! LOL! Anyway...

This month is National Scrapbooking month, so to start the month off, I thought I'd post my most recent scrapbook page. This page uses the direct to paper technique and chipboard (which is all 25% off from Stampin' Up! this month). I started with Ballet Blue card stock, smeared Whisper White Craft in over top in both horizontal and vertical directions, and spread the ink a bit with a sponge where I got it too thick. While that was drying, I cropped my photos and layered all of them on Real Red card stock. After the white ink dried, I stamped the star from Nursery Necessities along and underneath where I planned to place two of my photos, and stamped "Celebrate" at the top. I added a On-Board Chipboard star, heart, and tag covered with Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper. The "8" is inked with Real Red craft ink and that and a red button were attached to the chipboard with mini glue dots. After I was all finished I added a few swipes of dots with the Lots of Dots Jumbo wheel. Both the dots, stars, and celebrate where stamped in Ballet Blue Classic ink.

Happy Stamping!
