Beautiful Promenade - Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - August

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 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.

1, 2, 3 - ready to see more NUMBERS scrapbook inspiration? Let's go! Full link up can be found below. Click on the link after my name or the next button. Thanks so much for visiting. Charlet

Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - July

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. 

This month we are left to our own devices. Designer's choice! I've been dying to try out the Little Twinkle stamp set and builder punch - this was the perfect opportunity. Verdict = LOVE

This page is 6x8 and also features the Twinkle, Twinkle Designer Series papers and self adhesive sequins. Full supplies can be found below.

My grandmother turned 88 yesterday. She celebrated with family in southern Utah. I wish we could have been there to help celebrate in person. Happy Birthday Grandma! 88 looks good on you!

I mentioned that I was creating a 6x8 book for her birthday but the book was looking a little lean. I need to up the pages, thus my game. So a holiday gift is likely in order instead.

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the team created for this designers choice challenge. The entire link can be found at the end of this post. Next up is the lovely Cheryl Miller. Thanks for visiting.

Please know I appreciate all of your kind comments. This community is the best.

Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - June

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. 

This month was is a sketch challenge ... we were challenged to create a page using the sketch to the left.

I'm continuing to create and add pages to the book I'm making for my Grandma. This page is 6x8 and features the Under the Sea Designer Series papers and the Share What You Love Embellishment kit.

I love the look of the Tranquil Textures papers on this page. They add so much visual dimension to an otherwise flat page.

Ok, ready to see all the pretty scrapbook inspiration based from this sketch? Let's go! Full link up can be found below. Click on the link after my name. Thanks so much for visiting. Charlet

Share What You Love Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop #2

SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE ARTISAN BLOG HOP - ROUND 2

Welcome back. Did you catch the first round of the Share What You Love Artisan blog hop? The Artisan design Team is back to share even more projects using the bundles from the SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE promotion. These bundles are available to purchase today, RIGHT NOW! 

My projects today use items from the Just Getting Started bundle (149526). This bundle is perfect for the beginning crafter who wants to start stamping and create quick and simple cards. This bundle includes everything you need to make these cards, including a clear block for mounting your stamps.  It's amazing what can be created only using Stamps, Ink and Paper. 

I created a variety of simple notecards and then packaged them together with a cute little belly band. Shown above. This notecard package will make a lovely gift for a friend. Cute, eh? Are you ready to see the note cards?

Card making does not need to be time consuming. If you are just starting out you can achieve fantastic results in minutes. Each of these first two cards can be created in a minute. These cards use a technique called generation stamping, sometimes called 'stamping off'. To achieve this look stamp your image in full strength ink on a sheet of scratch paper first to removed some of the ink density, then stamp onto your project.

These next two cards take only a few minutes to complete and involve more generation stamping  and a little hand cutting (sometimes called fussy cutting). I find scissor cutting to be relaxing. Do you?
BTW - Ink colors used, and included in this bundle, are Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive. Paper color is Very Vanilla. 

These last cards can be achieved in under 5 minutes but are not any more difficult to create, just include more stamping and more cutting which takes more time. I've created simple backgrounds by repeatedly stamping the same image over and and over to create a pattern.  Stamps, Ink & Paper BABY! Easy peasy.
