On a Pedestal 8x8 Scrapbook Page

Currently I am scrapbooking in both 12x12 and 8X8.
I love the 8x8 scrapbook style...you can really focus on single page layouts and one awesome photo that just says it all! Also, our the Stampin' Up! 8x8 albums are chipboard on board albums -so you can decorate them any way you wish..for whatever the occasion!

This page was completely cased by my downline and friend Michelle. Thanks for the inspiration!



Stamp Sets: On a Pedestal, Varsity Alphabet, Circle Circus
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon

The pic was taken August 2009
and is of my daughter Bella at the edge of our pool :)

Scrapbooking Pregnancy Photo - viewer discretion is advised! lol.



Okay, so I'm not sure how many people would actually do this - show their scrapbooked pregnancy pictures (and not great ones I might add) of them at about 5 weeks before delivery!! Bah, whatever, I have nothing to hide...here I am in April 2004 - pregnant with my daughter Isabella who is now 5 years old. Oh and just to give you perspective - at 40 weeks gestation - I was measuring 46 weeks!


You'll notice from the full page below my HUGE error. Always have a 12x12 craft keeper with you for travelling. There is nothing worse then working hard on a scrapbook page and having it crumple during transport. I'm sure I will be able to get most of the bends out, but figured - again, hey if I'm gonna show you the preggo pic, I might as well show you the crumples too! lol.




This 12x12 layout was made using:
Stamp Set: Razzle Dazzle
Cardstock - soft suede, crushed curry
Designer Series Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade
Extras: Big Shot and Top Note Die, Scallop Circle, Circle Punches, Modern Label Punch




Happy Scrapping!

Inspired by Nature Scrapbook Page






Can you believe it's August already?? Oh my!

I wanted to upload just some of the latest scrapbook page made at the 5th Annual Girls Only Stamping Weekend held in July 2009.

The flowers were coloured using the new 2009/2010 In Colour Markers - Dusty Durango, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry.

Below is a pic with some Dusty Durango Cardstock which could mat the photo(s).








Happy Stamping!
