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.

In the Meadow

Here’s another GREAT masculine card or it’s perfect
for the outdoors person in your life.
The stamp set used is In the Meadow and it
can be found in the Occasions Catalog.
I love the soft look of this card.  It’s colored in,
but is quick and easy — not a lot of fussing.
I received this card in a swap I participated in.
It was made by fellow demonstrator Karen Titus.
In the MeadowThe card base is Whisper White with a layer
of Mossy Meadow that was embossed using the Striped
embossing folder.  She added a strip of Washi Tape on
the left side of the card.
She used the Circles Collection Framelits to cut a circle
from Gold Foil Paper and Whisper White cardstock.
Stamp the deer with Stazon Ink and color in
with Soft Suede ink and an Aqua Painter or
Blender Pen (which you prefer to use).
I think the simplicity of this card is perfect.
