Nautical Scrapbook layout

Here's a layout cased from the June 2011 Stampin' Success (a publication for Stampin up! demonstrators).  When I saw the Open Sea stamp set and designer paper, I knew exactly what pictures I wanted to "scrap". 

I took these of Owen in August of 2007. He was just a month shy of turning 3. Our friends Tracey and Aaron invited us to their cottage in Morrisburg, ON. It's on the St-Lawrence where these large cargo boats (for lack of a better name) travel. Owen played on the shore for hours hoping that he would get to see a boat go by. 

He finally did get to see one... Now I have to scrap those pictures too. Stay tuned!

Email me if you have any questions about the products I used.

Project of the Week: Vintage Holiday Scrapbook Page

It's always a good time to work on holiday-themed scrapbook pages! Whether you want to catch up on past years, or get a jump on this Christmas, Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper provides a great starting point for pages with a classic, vintage feel. Some simple crochet trim accents and basic pearls complete the page.

Step by Step Directions

1. Cut paper as follows:
   
1. Strip of "holly" designer series paper to 1 x 12
   
2. Strip of artichoke patterned piece to 2.5 x 12
   
3. Two Crumb Cake photo mats to 6.5 x 4.5
   
4. Always Artichoke for tag 4.5 x 2.5
   
2. Adhere holly strip of paper about 0.5 inches from top to 12x12 Cherry Cobbler base with SNAIL.
   
3. Adhere artichoke strip of paper about 1 inch from bottom of page; attach crochet trim with SNAIL along the bottom seam; add three pearls on right hand side on top of trim.
   
4. Add two Crumb Cake mats using SNAIL as shown in top half of page
   
5. To create tag, trim the two corners, add hole near top using Crop-A-Dile and run crochet trim through and knot it. Add to layout with SNAIL.
   
6. Stamp "Dec 25" in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla and punch out with Decorative Label Punch. Add to layout with Stampin' Dimensionals. Top off pearl at bottom of label.

Blog world here I come!

So here I am, finally part of the Blogger world! Can you believe it? I have been thinking about doing this for a while now but I really wanted to get my Stampin’ business on its feet first. Thank you to Melissa from GreenPixelDesigns.com for designing my blog banner, watermark and signature. And of course, a BIG thank you to all my friends and family for their support!

For my first posting, I thought I would show you one of the cards that we made at the April/May Stamp clubs. I found the tutorial for the paper dahlia fold on the Splitcoast Stampers website.
I think it’s so pretty! I used some of my favorite SU colors; Taken with Teal and Old Olive. The Designer Paper is a retired one called Petals and Paisleys.

Recipe: Old Olive cardstock, Taken with Teal cardstock, Petals and Paisleys DSP, Basic Black Stampin’ pad, Yummy Stamp set, Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and Top Note Bigz Die, Non SU white grosgrain ribbon.

As some of my customers are “scrapbookers” as well as “card makers”, I decided to use the technique in a scrapbook layout as well. I have been wanting to scrapbook for years but for some odd reason, I was intimidated by it. With all of the inspiration that I get from my 2 beautiful boys I decided to tackle this silly fear of mine and so here it is…

…my first scrapbook layout! It turned out not too bad, if I do say so myself!
Now if I could only come up with a title! LOL




Recipe: Textured Kiwi Kiss 12x12 cardstock, Taken with Teal cardstock, Paper piercing tool, Petals and Paisleys DSP, Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Little leaves sizzlits die, scallop edge punch, non SU white ribbon.
