Scrapbook Sunday - Winter Theme Challenge

Hello and welcome to another Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop! This month's theme is Winter or December Daily. If you have already been hopping you should have landed here from the fabulous blog of Sharon Dalton from Australia! She is amazing! There is sooo much creativity among this group! I hope you'll check out every blog so you can get inspiration from across the globe!

I found myself with some pictures of my granddaughters that still needed to be scrapped. I'm embarrased to tell you these are about five years old. Yes... that is how behind I am! One of my resolutions for the New Year is to get much of this scrapping done!!!

When I was trying to decide for a cardstock or DSP background I discovered that the beautiful Poppy Parade paper from Needlepoint Nook pack went perfectly with the sled and Laken's coat. I love the white stitching on the print and thought it would look beautiful with the snowflakes. My snowflakes were from the amazing Seasonal Layers Thinlits... it is actually the perfect set for any scrapbooker! The branch is from the same die set and I cut a few of them as I was going for the look of a snow covered tree leaning down onto the page. I heat embossed the sentiment for the coordinating Colorful Seasons Stamp Set directly onto the page using my Stamparatus. I love that it has two open sides so that stamping on a large page is so simple! As usual I had to add some hidden journalling to hide my handwriting! I just put my adhesive on the top and bottom of my photos and viola... a place to tuck a journalling tag!

I love the Scallop Tag Topper Punch for making tags.. another must have for scrapbookers! I love that I was able to use three pictures on this page... sometimes I try to do too much and can only scrap one or two pictures on a page!

September Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - The First!

Hi Friends! Happy Sunday! I hope you've been having a wonderful weekend! It's Scrapbook Sunday and this month's theme is the First! There are so many firsts you could scrap but I decided to go with my grandson's first birthday! I rarely scrap one picture to a page but this one was so special I thought it could use a page of it's own!

Beckett had a Wild One! Lumberjack theme birthday party and I felt like the awesome new Festive Farmhouse DSP was perfect for this theme! I LOVE the Shiplap paper... can you tell? I used an entire sheet on one page.. another thing I rarely do.

I also used the In The Woods Framelits Dies to cut out the trees in Basic Black Cardstock as well as more of the Festive Farmhouse DSP ... this time in the plaid. I love that the trees have little cut out pieces that add more dimension! I added a black circle tab punch to the side of the double mounted picture with "party" from the Tabs For Everything Stamp Set, heat embossed on the punch in white. Can I just say again how much I adore this DSP??? I'm going to order a couple of extras pack of it before they sell out!

If you're interested in any of the products used, there is a list at the very bottom of my post! Hope you'll hop all the way through for more First Inspiration! Blessings, Tina

May Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop Theme Challenge - Florals

Hello and Welcome to the May Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop! This month we have a Theme Challenge of Florals! I love flowers, don't you?? There are sooo many options using Stampin' Up! products for flowers! I am anxious to see what everyone creates!

If you've already been hopping, thanks so much for continuing! If you are starting with my blog, I certainly hope you'll hop all the way through and check out all of the awesome inspiration from the Design Team. I am inspired each month as I hop through and I'm sure you will be too!

I have been trying to catch up on some of my Scrapbooking of our Grandkids so although I am typically drawn to adding flowers to many of my pages, trying to kind a picture that I needed to scrap to use with florals was a little harder than I expected. Finally I found a picture of Taylor and Laken from a photo shoot a few years ago and noticed there were some yellow wild flowers in the field. This seemed like a perfect excuse to add flowers and to use one of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors!

The photograph that I chose to use was taken on such a super hot day that I felt that like I needed to create a few sunrays. Instead of having the rays radiate down onto the photograph, I chose to have it radiate out of the photo. Of course if you have children, or like me have grandchildren, they really are the sunshine of your life! I used some Therm O Web icraft purple tape, similar to painters tape or washi tape, to tape off my sections. I use this tape because I hate to waste my Washi Tape! You can use the same pieces over and over to do this. I used the new Stampin' Up! In Color of Pineapple Punch on Stampin' Up! sponges to sponge in my sun rays.. it's such a pretty vibrant yellow!

I also tried to recreate some of the grass and wild flowers that we saw that day! For the flowers I used the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and Daisy Punch, The Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies, The Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, and the Leaf Punch. I did my journaling along the Sunshine Rays as that helps me to keep my handwriting straight. For the flowers and leaves I used Whisper White, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, and Old Olive.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you'll continue on the hop by clicking the name right after mine on the Blog Roll. Blessings, Tina

April Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - Pastels!!

Hello and Welcome to the April Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and are ready for some awesome scrapbooking inspiration!

I need you to bear with me on two points... #1 I'm still scrapping some of my pictures from my last cruise.. I know you've seen a lot of them. I'm sorry! #2 It was storming all day on Saturday so I was unable to get good lighting for the photos. I apologize for the poor quality picture! I tried I promise!

Since the theme was pastel, I picked a Black and White photograph so that the color of our clothing didn't clash with the soft color theme. I love the sentiment from the High Tide Stamp Set and thought it was a perfect compliment to the scene I made with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.

I love that you can use the scallop die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies upside down for the waves of the sea. I actually cut them out of whisper white cardstock and then sponged Soft Sky Ink instead of using soft sky cardstock. The background was sponged on Whisper White as well. I used Powder Pink on the bottom and more of the Soft Sky Ink on the upper part of the sky. The sentiment was stamped in Soft Sky Ink and then stamped in Versamark and then clear embossed it. The new Stamparatus makes it so super easy to do! After I cut strips of the Sahara Sand Cardstock I tore it pretty wavy to resemble sand dunes. I matted both the 4 x 6" photo and the 4 x 6" scene on 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" Soft Sky Cardstock. I sponged the edges of the mats with Soft Sky Ink to help them to stand out from the background of the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper. I loved that the pattern on this DSP was a soft sky and white chevron subtle design that allowed the die cuts to still show up and didn't compete with them. I finished this off with some Basic Pearl Jewels and some Iridescent Sequins scattered around the page. Of course I had to add some hidden journaling under my beach side scene. I used the Lots of Labels Framelits Dies to make my tag and cut off the bottom end to make a wide tag. A handheld 1/8" circle punch was used to punch a hole in the tag. Some white seam binding threaded through the hole with a bow of Linen Thread completed the tag.

I was super happy with how it all turned out and I hope you enjoyed it as well. I can't wait to see what everyone else has created! This is such an amazing group of scrapbookers and all have such varied styles! I am honored to be a part of the group and am inspired each month!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Next up is Sharon Dalton's blog!

March Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop with Sketch Inspiration!

Hello and welcome the March Edition of Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop! This month we have a very cool scrapbook page sketch to inspire you!

So I ordered one of those DNA kits from Ancestry.com a couple of months ago and I recently received my results along with some DNA matches of probable 3rd and 4th cousins. It was all very interesting so I decided to start a Family Tree on their website. One thing led to another and before you know it I was about 5 hours into it one evening and was mesmerized by all of the information available on their website. One of the coolest things that I saw was a scanned copy of my Grandparents wedding license... how awesome is that??!! As I was deciding what photo to use on my page I ran across this picture of those same Grandparents at their 50th Wedding Anniversary and was excited to use it!

Of course I'm still using the fabulous Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit! It was perfect for adding some fun cake and floral layers to my page. Since the picture is an old one I really wanted to give the page a subtle vintage background look. I used Crumb Cake to sponge the edges and used stamped off Crumb Cake and Powder Pink to stamp the new SAB "Eclectic Expressions" images on the background. I pulled out the awesome Number of Years stamp and Die set for the 50th anniversary title..... I love this set!!! I also used the Celebrate You Thinlits for the "amazing" over the 50th Anniversary because anyone that makes it to a 50th must be amazing!

Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop -Love Theme

Hello and Happy Sunday! Can you believe it's already the 3rd Sunday of the month??? Well it is and that means it's time for another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop! I'm so excited about being in this hop and among such fabulous scrapbookers! It definitely makes me strive to be better! If you've already been hopping thanks so much for continuing on. If you're starting here, you'll definitely want to be sure you check out all of the inspiration by clicking the next button at the end of my blog post!

February's Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop Theme is of course.. Love! For me not only is February special but today is extra special because February 18th is my wedding anniversary! Jeff and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage and they have been wonderful years full of love!

My layout today is definitely different from most that I do! I never use so much white but today I wanted to try something a little different. I used the Large Letters Framelits to cut out my X's and O's of Shimmery White cardstock. I adhered them onto the left side of a 12" x 12" sheet of Whisper White Cardstock. The little bit of shimmer gave it a very subtle contrast. The 3" x 4" Love Big and Love Much card was from the Petal Passion Memories and More Card Pack. I matted it with 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" Whisper White Cardstock. I matted my 4" x 6" photos with 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" Basic Black Cardstock. I ran some of the awesome scalloped Marina Mist ribbon from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit up to the bottom picture from the right side and then from the picture over a couple of inches on the other side with a diagonal cut at the end. I adhered the ribbon with Tear Tape so it would hold well. You'll notice that the bottom picture only had adhesive on the sides and bottom so that I could keep the top open for a hidden journaling tag under the picture.

I hate my handwriting so the hidden tag is perfect for hiding it! I'll cut a small slit with an exacto knife in my page protector sleeve so that the tag can slide out without having to remove the page. I made the tag with a strip of 2" x 5" strip of Basic Black Cardstock. I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch to punch the top of the strip. I ran some Basic Black Baker's Twine through the slot so that it can be pulled out easily. I added some Whisper White cardstock to the bottom of the tag so that I could add my journaling with my new SU Journaling Pens... I love them!

The heart from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits was cut from Watercolor Paper that had a very light wash with Soft Sky ink. Once dry I added a very more splashes of Soft Sky ink. I adhered it by dotting small dots of Tombow Multipurpose Glue onto the back of it. I cut the "amazing" from the Celebrate You Thinlits out of a scrap piece of Marina Mist cardstock. The amazing was glued over the heart with Tombow Multipurpose Glue as well. I used my Stampin' Write Markers to make some splatters of both Marina Mist and Basic Black. Do you do that too? You just pull out the brush end of the marker really fast running against the side of the top when you pull it out to make it splatter. I may have gone just a little splatter crazy! I finished it off whith a few of the Glitter Enamel Dots.

January Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop with Color Inspiration!

Hello and Happy Sunday! Well today is a very special day ... It's Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop time! Are you ready for some inspiration?? I was blown away last month and super excited to check out everything this month!

If you've already been hopping, thank you for continuing! If you started here, please make sure to click the next button at the end of the post to get some fabulous scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! Products!

I am super excited about this page... first of all I finally sprung for the Large Letter Framelits from Stampin' Up! and I am so so happy that I did! They are really awesome and will be so helpful with my scrapbooking projects! Secondly, I was able to use the awesome Celebrate You Thinlits from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (free with $100 Stampin' Up! purchase)! This month our challenge is to use Coral, Green and Black. Luckily the Sweet Soiree Suite, as well as the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Cards from the Sale-a-bration Catalog (free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase) uses Old Olive and Calypso Coral! It's like it was meant to be! :)

I started off with a 12x12" sheet of Basic Black SU Cardstock with a wide strip of the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper! I backed both my picture and the large Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card with a mat of Basic Black cardstock. The tag in the lower right was cut from one of the Memories and More small cards with the Sweet Soiree Dies and backed with a cut from the same die in Basic Black cardstock. I added a bit of thin old olive ribbon through the hole in the tags.

I cut the "celebrate" from the Celebrate You Thinlits and the "U" and "S" from the Large Letters Framelits out of both Calypso Coral and Basic Black. I adhered the coral to the black off-setting them just a little down and to the right for a shadow look.

After journaling on one of the cards, I adhered it to the large card with an off-set mat of another of the smaller cards in an Old Olive floral design. I added some Glitter Enamel Dots ....my current favorite embellishment! The stamped flowers from the Cake Soiree Stamp Set were stamped in Calypso Coral Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and cut out with the coordinating Sweet Soiree Dies.

The die cut flowers were cut from the Sweet Soiree Dies in Calypso Coral and glued onto another piece of Calypso Coral Cardstock. I fussy cut the backing cardstock and then added some Clear Wink of Stella to the top portion of the diecut. All of the leaves were cut from the Sweet Soiree Dies in Old Olive Cardstock. Everything was adhered with Tombow Multi Purpose Glue except for the top flowers in a grouping that were added with a dimensional to raise it above the other flowers.

To finish this page off I added some splatters with the Clear Wink of Stella pen (primarily to the Basic Black area).

The splatters took a while to dry but they really look fabulous and totally worth the wait!

December Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop!

Hello Friends! I hope your weekend has been fabulous! I'm excited to share with you that there is an awesome new blog hop that you will love! It's the Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop featuring Stampin' Up! Produ!cts and today is the debut of it! How fabulous is that??!! I'm super excited that I was asked to create for it! I'm really hoping that all of this inspiration will help me get caught up with my scrapbooking! I certainly have a lot of catch up on!

Welcome to the First Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop! If you've already been hopping you should have landed here from Tanya Boser's Blog and thank you for continuing on! If you've started with me, please make sure you hop all the way through to check out every bit of Scrapbooking Inspiration!

This is our Inspiration Sketch.. isn't it fabulous!!!

Of course it was totally screaming at my to scrap some Christmas or Winter pictures but I decided to go with something a little different. My husband and I went on an 8 day cruise October 28th through November 5th and I felt like this sketch would work great for a couple of pictures from that cruise! October 29th is Jeff's birthday and we typically cruise every year right around that time. We not only celebrate his birthday but since the cruise is our Christmas Present to each other, we celebrate our love. Jeff and I married just a little under 10 years ago and neither of us had ever taken a cruise prior to that. Since we've married, we've been on 10 cruises! This particular page showcased pictures from our tour around Cozumel, Mexico. It was such a fun day to "Celebrate The Good Stuff"! And yes.... I'm the bird lady in the first picture! How does it go.. a bird in the hand is worth one on the head??? lol Well maybe not but that was a super fun day!

Now I first have to apologize for my scrapbook page photography! I promise I WILL get better! I'm accustomed to photographing cards but not full 12x12 pages! Just a note.. some of these products used are Sneak Peeks of products that will be available until January 3rd when the new Stampin' Up! Occassions Catalog is live! My 12x12" Smoky Slate Cardstock from the Neutrals Best Collection was where I started! I added a 12" x 3" strip of DSP from the fabulous new Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (available January 3, 2018 in the Occasions Catalog!). I really love the look of this DSP.. the green brought out the green in the birds and the pattern on it almost gave it a bamboo look! I added a strip of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon.. I really loved the natural look it added. My 4 x 6" pictures were matted in 4 1/8" x 6 1/8" panels of Old Olive Cardstock that had the edges sponged with Old Olive Ink. The stamps used were from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set (also available January 3, 2018 in the Occasions Catalog!) I stamped the "Celebrate The Good Stuff" sentiment in Black Archival Ink and then clear embossed it for my Title. I used the Pretty Label Punch to make the tag on the side of the picture on the left. I also clear embossed Black Archival Ink with the "Today We" part of another sentiment from the same stamp set. I used a scrap of Washi Tape to block off the letters under that sentiment when I inked up the stamp so that I could do some selective or partial stamping. I only wanted the "today we" so that it would transition into "Celebrate the Good Stuff". I wanted to use flowers that looked a bit tropical and I really thought that the flowers in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies were perfect for that! I have to tell you that I think the Seasonal Layers Dies are a must have for any scrapbooker! There are so many options for every season! It is one of my go-to die sets! I cut the flowers out of scraps of Pacific Point cardstock. I adhered a small circle of scrap Whisper White cardstock behind each of the flowers for the center to stand out a bit. The leaves were punched out with the Leaf punch in Old Olive Cardstock and sponged with Old Olive Ink around the edges. I adhered the leaves with Tombow Multipurpose Glue and adhered the flowers with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished it off with three Glitter Enamel Dots in blue.

Right after the full Blog Hop List is a list of all of the products used if you are interested in any of them. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is the priviledge of pre-ordering new products! If you can't wait on some of the new goodies .. think about signing up!
