Birthday Boy Scrapbook Spread

My scrapbook club will be doing this spread this Sunday evening. I conveniently scheduled a birthday theme the month after my son's birthday. :)

I used Bashful Blue as the base for these 12x12 pages. I stamped the party hats from Party Hearty along the bottom in Versamark. Then I stamped the title on an 8.5" x 11" sheet in Whisper White Craft Ink (all except the first letter of course) using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet. After I got the title on, I ran the sheet through my printer to add the journaling. I stamped the "Celebrate You" from Party Hearty in Kiwi Kiss in and punched it out with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. I layered that to a Real Red circle cut with the Sizzix circle die and stamped the image again in Bashful Blue and layered that to a Real Red circle too. I layered a piece of 5 1/2" wide Real Red on each outer edge and then layered the Kiwi Kiss over top. Finally I added a "B" cut from chipboard covered with Whisper White using the Serif Essentials dies and added some 1/2" striped Grosgrain and a Jumbo Groment along the bottom edge.

Halloween Nursery Necessities

Remember those little hints of what to expect from my "It's Not Just for Babies" class back on October 8th? Yesterday was the last of my classes, so now I'll show you the rest of what we did...

This card was very simple, but shows how a change of colors can change the mood of a card. Just visualize this same card with Bashful Blue, Whisper White, and So Saffron... change the "boo" to "baby" and you have a cute, traditional baby card. But, using the Halloween palette changes everything:

On this I used Pumpkin Pie ink and card stock with the Polka Dot background, Basic Black and Kiwi Kiss, and More Mustard for the moon. The "boo" is embossed in white using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet.

If you have done a Halloween project with a "non-Halloween" stamp set, I'd love to see it! Please post a link to it in the comments below. It's great to see how we can stretch the use of our stamps!

Happy Stamping!

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!
