Valentine Scrapbook Pages

Tuesday night was my Scrap & Go Hostess Class.
I love to make pages to coordinate throughout the year
and this month we made February pages — great for
Valentine’s Day pictures but also just cute backgrounds
for any pictures of loved ones.
Here’s the first page.

PicMonkey Image Febuary page 1The base of the page is 12″ x 12″ Blushing Bride cardstock.
I added an 8 1/2″ x 11″ Basic Black and then
8″ x 10 1/2″ of Whisper White.
I used the Bloomin’ Love stamp set to stamp
the flowery heart with Rose Red ink.
Also the little open hearts and the “love is in the air” at
the top of the page.  I punched out a bunch of hearts
from Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, Love Blossoms designer paper
and Rose Red cardstock using the Sweetheart Punch.
I added some Black Baker’s Twine for “heart balloon” strings and
a bow for hold the bouquet together.

Here’s page two:

Everyone was very pleased with their pages.
I can’t wait to take pictures of my grand kids this weekend
to add to the pages.
You gotta love the memories — print those pictures out.
You just never know when our technology items will break
and there goes all your pictures.  Don’t let that happen!!!

Check out this week’s WEEKLY DEALS!!!
Reminder that Easter is just over 6 weeks away.
The Baker’s Box would be great for some Easter treats.
That give you enough time to order the Thinlit Dies and make
a bunch of Easter treat holders for all your family & friends.

January Scrapbook Page

My monthly scrapbook class (Scrap & Go) started last night.
It was great to have ladies return from last year and
fabulous to have some new ladies join the fun.
We get together once a month and everyone makes
two 12″ x 12″ scrapbook pages.  This month they
got to make 3 pages — one for January and then
two more for February.  Today’s page for January
was inspired by fellow demonstrator Julie Brancart.
I love the gold and black combination.
PicMonkey Image - JanuaryWe started with a 12″ x 12″ Basic Black cardstock.
Next we added an 11 1/2″ x 11 1/2″ piece of Whisper White.
The lower right corner I added Black cardstock — 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.
I used the Gold Glimmer paper and the Large Numbers Thinlits
to cut out 2016.  I punched a bunch of black and gold stars.
The larger stars were attached with Dimensionals.
The small starts are attached with glue dots.

Spring Happy Anniversary

It’s still winter — in fact, it is snowing here in
northern Illinois tonight but I thought it was
a great day for some spring flowers.
This is a great color combination — Pear Pizzazz
and Watermelon Wonder.
The stamp set, Number of Years, is amazing.
There is lots of texture but the card is very
quick to stamp and assemble.
I make my card an anniversary card, all you have
to do is change the words and you have a
whole new card — great for birthdays too.
Happy AnniversaryThe card base is Pear Pizzazz with a layer of Whisper White
that I embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder.
I stamped Happy Anniversary in the lower corner of
another Whisper White cardstock and attached to a
piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock.
I attached a 1/2″ strip of Watermelon Wonder
cardstock on the left side right against the other
cardstock.  I used the Circles Collection Framelits to
cut out the Watermelon Wonder circle and the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch
for the Whisper White circle.
I used Pear Pizzazz and Watermelon Wonder inks
to stamp the flowers, the lighter flowers are stamped off.
The final touch — a little Gold Wink of Stella
added to the center of each flower.
