Spring Scrapbook Page


This was the last project for my scrapbook club. After all the snow, I was in the mood for spring but didn't have any good spring photos so I made an empty page.

We used Certainly Celery for the base with Old Olive Designer Series Paper along the bottom. The flowers were created by paper piecing with a variety of punches and strips of cardstock using Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, and some random printed paper retrieved from the recycle bin. This spread is green in more than one way! We also used an assortment of silver brads from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge and the Circle Brads collection, clear buttons, black buttons, and green buttons. I encouraged the club members to make each flower unique from their neighbors and mine... some double punched from the Extra Large Fancy Flower (117191) punch and each with a different arrangement of circle punches and button in the center. The leaves were punched from Old Olive using the large oval punch twice on each leaf.

I punched my title with the Stampin' Up! Simple Letters (115960) dies out of Old Olive card stock, but since I'm not positive what I'll want my title to be until I decide on my photos, I attached the letters to a strip of card stock and attached it temporarily.
