New Designer Series Paper

Here is a card we did recently featuring the new Designer Series paper "Beyond the Garden."  I'm not usually one for bright colors but I have to say I'm enjoying this paper pack quite a bit!  (I also used it here on the this scrapbook page.)

Supplies Used:

Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder with the Big Shot
Bird Builder Punch (117191 $16.95)
Heart Bitty Button (118761 $4.95 for 64 assorted buttons)
Striped Grosgrain ribbon ($9.95 for 10 yards, available in 11 colors)
Linen Thread (104199 $4.50 for 15 yards)
Daffodil Delight Card Stock
Old Olive Card Stock
Beyond the Garden designer series paper (122342 $10.95)
Basic Pearls (119247 $4.95 for 150 assorted pearls)

Cover Pages are tricky…

Well, for me anyway.  Cover pages for scrapbooks.  I never know what picture should be the first picture in the scrapbook!  Maybe if I scrapped chronologically it would be simpler, huh?  ANyway, one of my friends/scrapbook club members had a baby girl last week and I wanted to design a cover page appropriate for her beautiful (and I mean BEAUTIFUL) baby girl.  Here's what I came up with.  I envision a nice black and white picture (or maybe sepia toned one) on the Chocolate Chip layer and her name and birth date written on the Daffodil Delight scallop circle.

What do you think?  Do you see my vision?  What other title might you put on here? 

And remember, for all of you moms with boys only.  It's OKAY to use flowers and butterflies on your scrapbook pages (okay, maybe not for football pictures, but ya know what I mean!)!  It's YOUR scrapbook!  You're a girl!  It only makes sense!

A Thankful Butterfly

I held my first 10/10/20 class a few weeks ago.  We made 10 different cards that should've taken about 10 minutes each to create and the fee was $20.  Here is one of the cards my guests made…

As you can tell it uses some retired items (the button, the DSP) but those are very easy to replace!

I'll be doing another 10/10/20 on July 6th if you'd like to join us!  RSVP to save your spot!

It’s Beginning to look a lot like…

Christmas???  Thank goodness it's really not, but we are doing the first Christmas Stamp a Stack of the season tomorrow!

Here's one of the cards my guests will be making…

So the best thing about this card is that my pool is in the background!  LOL  No, but seriously, I love this card!  The inspiration came from this card here.  It's basically the same, just different colors and a different sentiment.  Hope you like it!
