Scallop Circle Wow Flowers

I've been playing with some of my new Big Shot dies and having a blast. I came up with this one using the Sweet Always Designer Series Paper and Wow Flowers earlier this week. I just keep going for that little Wow Flowers set... I really need to hid it on myself! LOL!

Anyway, the card is a regular folded card of Pumpkin Pie which I then cut with the Scallop Circle, keeping some of the fold inside the cut line. After that I cut a half circle of the DSP and extended over the fold a bit to make the scallop circle look complete. I pierced the scallops on the Pumpkin Pie half, added the verse and the circle accented with a rhinestone brad, then a bit of ribbon and hardware and it's done! I had a little trouble deciding on this layout, but once I slid the ribbon over to the left side instead of having it run right down the center of the card, I was happy with it. Hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!

This quickie is a 4 1/4" square card textured white card with Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper and the "Thank You" from the new Wow Flowers set. The Styled Silver label holder, blue brad, and blue gingham ribbon finishes it off.

Summer Fun Page

This is the page my scrapbooking clubs did in March. The colors are based on the Summer Picnic Designer Series Papers and are Old Olive, Real Red and Bashful Blue. I used the Friendly Flowers set for the centers of the Die Cut Blooms and some are mounted on chipboard circles.

Happy Stamping!

The Noun Belt

I just couldn't pass up taking some photos of my cute little guy this day when he came home from school... with his "Noun Belt".

For this layout I used Blue Bayou texture card stock as the base and layered Wild Wasabi textured card stock on top. All the elements are from the Creative License Simply Scrappin kit offered as a Hostess Reward in the 2007 Fall-Winter Collection catalog. The kit actually came with Soft Sky card stock as well, but that didn't match Andrew's shirt, so I used only pieces without the Soft Sky color and added a bit of Bashful Blue instead to coordinate with the color of his shirt. I used the spiral punch on the Bashful Blue layer behind the central photo, a bit of Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware and Linen thread to add some details. The chipboard letters are colored with Bashful Blue craft ink.

Happy Stamping and Scrapping!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! If you still didn't make a Valentine for your sweetie, here's one more idea...

I adapted this from an idea in one of Stampin' Up!'s publications. I used Sweet Shapes and All in a Row along with the Rough Edges Alphabet. The card stock colors are Confetti White, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, Regal Rose, and Old Olive. I used Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, and Old Olive ink. Some colored brads, Hodgepodge Hardware and ribbon (retired) finish it off.

Have a sweet day!

Happy Stamping!

Christmas Spread in Real Red and Old Olive

I finished my Christmas spread in record time this year, due to my first scrapbook club meeting on January 6th. Gotta love those deadlines for pushing me into action! LOL!

This year I did a really simple page using Real Red as my base, with a strip of Old Olive Textured card stock at the bottom and a strip of striped paper from the (now retired) Dashing Designer Series papers. I did stamp "Celebrate" repeatedly in Real Red down both outer sides of each page, but it doesn't show up in the photo. I also stamped the "Celebrate" from
Celebrate Everything in Old Olive on the Old Olive Textured card stock. I used a few piece of Pewter hardware from the Hodgepodge Hardware set that I brightened up using a sanding block on both pages. The "Wii" W is from the Big Deal Alphabet and the i's are from Short Order Alphabet. "Love" and "Christmas" are both from
Fundamental Phrases.

Batty in Black

Boooooo.......! We were "Booed" tonight! Halloween is such fun!

This Batty Wheeled card is the last of my 2007 Halloween Spirits... an unusual one, since I don't often use non-Stampin' Up! supplies. For this card I die cut a white Sizzix ghost and mounted him on diminsionals above a piece of Basic Black card stock texturized with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I wheeled the Batty Jumbo Wheel in black over More Mustard and tied it all together with a bit of Black Gingham ribbon and an "S" clip from the Hodgepodge Hardware Kit.

Happy Haunting Everyone!
