Scrapbook Club Projects

I {heart} scrapbooking!  And I love having the scrapbook club back in action cuz it helps me get more pages ready to go!  So here’s some ‘before’ shots of the pages for this month.  And hopefully VERY soon I’ll get some ‘after’ shots with pictures on them!

I used the new Night & Day Specialty Designer Papers as well as a LOT of punches on this layout.  I love how versatile the Baroque Motifs stamp set is as well.  Who would’ve thought it would be a great stamp set for Halloween??  But when I pulled out the Night & Day designer paper I immediately thought of Baroque Motifs.  Hope you like it too! 

Here’s the second layout for the scrapbook club members and guests.  Again, I used the Night & Day Specialty Designer paper.  This time I pulled out my Medallion background stamp, inked it up with Frost White shimmer paint and stamped it half on each page.  I also did a ton more punching to make that spider (scallop circle and photo corner punches) and used the Big Shot to get the Build a Bear.  I used a marker to color a toothpick Elegant Eggplant and used that as the holder for the Happy Halloween banner the little bear is holding.

3 x 3 Felt Flurry

(Originally posted October 21,2008)

This is a little 3 x 3 note card we made at my Demo Only Stamp Camp last week.    The snowflake is the Baja Breeze one embossed with Iridescent Ice EP and Versamark ink.  (Versus Iridescent Ice EP and Whisper White craft ink on the Real Red snowflake on my Cardinal Christmas Card below.)  Just remember, if you try the embossing on the snowflakes: Don’t Melt the Felt!  Well, it didn’t exactly melt but it was starting to kind of change its shape when I was holding it with the tweezers.   So for successive attempts I simply stuck it in a cardboard box that had sides so if the little snowflake did blow around it wouldn’t go anywhere and the embossing powder still stayed contained!  Anyway, the DSP used is the new Ski Slope DSP in the Holiday Mini.  LOVE IT!!!!    And the half back pearl is from the Pretties kit, both the snowflake and the half back pearl were adhered with Tombow Multipurpose Glue. This would be a great little teacher’s note, co-workers note, gift tag for a gift bag (simply punch a hole in the corner, thread some ribbon through and tie it around the handle of the gift bag), and more.  I’m sure you can come up with some creative uses for not only the fabulous 3 x 3 cards but the Snow Flurries as well! Happy Stamping!
