Sharing Scrapbook Layouts *Picture Heavy*

Creative MessSave the Tata's Last night I had the chance to do some scrapbooking. This is big for me as I have had a hard time picking up scrapbooking in a steady pace since my mother passed away in 2011.

Stampin’ Up! is known as a stamping company. But I am a scrapbooker at heart. I wanted to show that it is still possible to make scrapbook layouts with a company such as this. Some of the products I used in these layouts are a mix of current product and retired. Here are some of the things I used.

  • Gumball Green Card Stock
  • Print Poetry DSP
  • Feel Goods Stamp Set
  • Floral District DSP
  • Primerose Petals
  • Sent With Love DSP
  • Flirtatious DSP
  • Concord Crush Ink

I wanted to encourage you if you have never tried scrapbooking before to give it a try. I think its very important to record family history. Whether it is in a Project Life style. Traditional or Digital. I believe getting your stories told is important in keeping your family history.

 

The layouts I worked on was from last summer. It was about our church picnic, playing horseshoe and being involved in the Relay For Life in honor of our Mom.

 

I hope that seeing these layouts have inspired you to get your history down and a chance to get creative. Thanks for stopping by! Breast Cancer WalkPlaying HorseshoeThrowing Horseshoe

    I've tried scrapbooking before and it didn't turn out. I got bored for one thing (never did enjoy doing crafts) and I wasn't artisitic enough. I've tried a few times both in actual books and digital ones. But I do think it's important to preserve family history too and do so in other ways and I sure love looking at other people's beautiful scrapbooks! Great job on yours!!!!

  I am trying to challenge myself. So I have decided to participate in the card/color challenges you would see around the web. One blog I found that had a color challenge was this. Stylin' Stampin Inspiration You can find more info if you follow the link. The color scheme they had was Rich Razzleberry, Hello Honey and Calypso Coral. This is what I came up with. I used the Four Feather Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog as well as the framelits that you can get in a bundle. I also used Blended Bloom and colored it with Calypso Coral Blendabilities.  In the picture of the 2 cards I had done that card for Creative Challenge Club .

  Lately,I have been on a kick to participate in challenges. I am finding that I am enjoying the color challenges the best. This is the card that I made for Pals Paper Arts . This challenge closes tomorrow Sept 9th at 9:00 am PST. If your wanting to join you still have time! The colors they called for was Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Crumb Cake. I am really enjoying playing with my For All Things stamp set and Color me Autumn.  You can find those in the Holiday Catalog. If you are in need of one please let me know and I will be happy to send you one.  I liked the double stamp look. I think that is what it is called even though it was two different stamps and not the same one. If you’d like to try your hand in making this here’s the supply list. Thanks for looking and have a great day! Till next time! Crumb Cake Ink  126975 Blackberry Bliss  Ink  133642 Hello Honey  Ink  133643 For All Things Stamp Set   135155 Color me Autum...
