Double Layout - Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - February

February 17, 2019

Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products. Please note that we will be shirting to the second Sunday of the Month starting in March.

I did not post or scrapbook last month and you all may be wondering how my book for my Grandma was received. Well, after compiling, I decided it still needed pages. Lol. It’s not done. So I’m continuing to create pages for that book in hopes that I can have it full and ready by June.

The theme for this month is double layout. I usually only create single pages so this was a fun challenge. I used a piece of paper to tie the two pages together. I first created the right side page and then added the left. Not sure if that’s the best way to create a double layout but it’s where I started. I wanted to showcase the photos in a filmstrip so I created one from paper.

Purple is my Grandma’s favorite color and she often wears purple so this light purple sheet from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Papers was a great base layer. I have cut out and colored the a few butterflies from the paper using Stampin’ Blends to match the colors in the photos.

Notice the super thick and shiny die cut word? This has created by die cutting and layering four sheets of black card stock. Then I dipped in Versamark and heat embossed the top layer with black emboss powder for the shine. A little time consuming but makes for a nice statement embellishment.

Love Your Selfie - Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - November

November 18, 2018

Hello again! Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products.

It's all about SELFIES this month. Fortunately it’s easy to take a self portrait these days. I’m still adding to the book I am making for my Grandmother. Over the last few years (as selfies have become more and more prevalent) I’ve made sure to take a selfie with my Grandma. I treasure these photos as she has changed so much of the last couple of years.

Now for the apology … I had very little time to create a page this month after returning from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention. Stumped at what products to use I pulled out the ‘Notes of Kindness’ kit and was saved. The page came together easily and quickly. Kits to the rescue!

- Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - September

September 16, 2018

I’ve decided to start my first ever December daily scrapbook. The theme for this month is FIRSTS and I figure this is a as good as any first. I’ve completed day one and day two and left spaces open for photos and journaling. I will be able to move pockets around if something doesn’t make sense for the certain day.

My youngest is eight, and the artwork style in the Santa Memories and More card kit is perfect for creating this December daily book. There are so many mix and match pieces. It takes the pressure off and makes creating and assembling super fun.

Are you ready to see a few more firsts? Check out the next blog, a full block list and link up can be found at the end of this post.

Beautiful Promenade - Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - August

August 19, 2018

It's all about the numbers this month. While my 6x8 page is not chalk full of numbers the ones that are there are important. Last month I made page for my Grandmother's book documenting her birthday except that page had no numbers, no dates, nothing. Oops. Just a pretty page. So this month I'm making up for it. This page includes the year (2018) and her age (88), as well as the month and day.

While she has some balance and memory issues she is still trucking and is STRONG! This page actually documents her 88th birthday right before she blew out her cake candles. She is wearing her favorite color, purple. And, it's dated. That is important. I'll get the hang of this scrapbooking thing eventually (you may even get to see some journaling).

Let's talk products: Overall I like how this page turned out. I used the purple marble and purple flower papers from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Papers. These papers are photo realistic and really elegant. The stamp set is called Beautiful Promenade. I stamped the small flower images in Versamark and heat set with gold embossing powder. The stamped flowers are colored with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends for a hint of color. Do you like that repeating diamond pattern in the background? I DO! That border was easily created using my Stamparatus and the hinge step. Oh, and those NUMBERS, the stamped numbers come from the Make a Difference stamp set. Full supplies are listed below.
