Do you love using the designer paper stacks in your stamping? Here is why I enjoy using them in projects...
1. There are a large variety of papers that coordinate with each other.
2. They are 6 by 6 which makes them perfect for cards or scrapbook pages.
3. They make the project go together quickly.
I love the look of black and white and color so decided these papers that are now retired would look great with red and pink.
I added a grouping of flowers in the center of each page to provide the contrast I wanted. I used coordinating pinks and reds. I think I will find some black and white pictures to post on these pages. I'd back the pictures in black.
I will be away on my family reunion next week in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It is my turn to plan the reunion so I will be a busy beaver while we are gone. So, I am going to take a vacation from my blog for a week or so and enjoy visiting with the 23 members of my immediate family who will gather together. Hope that all of you are enjoying your summer and have an opportunity to get together at some point with your family members.
Check back Monday, July 18th for my next blog.
I found this layout idea from something I had saved years ago. I thought it was a great way to use up scraps. I punched lots of 1 1/2 inch squares. Now, that the punch is retired you could use the layered squares framelits to cut your squares.
I am thinking I will put some of the pictures from our family reunion on these pages. The page on the left will be perfect for the family group picture we take each year.
Come back tomorrow to see the final layout for the week.
Is it really Wednesday? What ever happened to Tuesday? I was so busy yesterday getting ready for our family reunion that I totally forgot to post a scrapbook page.
This was the second layout the Scrapbook Your Life people made in June. I decided it was a perfect layout for this weather we have been having. Hot and Humid. What to do....escape to the mountains. When i was still teaching we would load up the camper every summer for 2-3 weeks and head for the mountains to escape the hot humid weather of the Midwest. We never camped in the same place, but saw so many wonderful sites.
Come back tomorrow to see another layout.
I decided since my favorite stamp set is not ready to use yet, that I would feature scrapbook pages this week. My Scrapbook Your Life class met last week and this is one of the layouts we made. I can't wait to put some pictures of the family reunion on this layout.
I have had this Uncle Sam laying around for several years. It was originally a refrigerator magnet and I turned it into an accent piece for the scrapbook page.

Come back tomorrow to see another layout, with my pictures attached.
This card should look familiar. It was one of the featured cards from yesterdays template cards. Here is how I fixed it....
1. First I added strips of the designer papers I used all week. My husband was not impressed, but I tried to layer the papers so they looked like sky, leaves, ground and grass.
2. Then I used the saying from the set called Me=Grateful. I stamped it and cut it up placing each part of the saying in a different section of the card.
3. I tied the ribbon to try and bring the parts together. It seemed to work for my husband so I guess that was a success.
Here is an over view of Serene Scenery week. It was fun to try and create cards that met each one of the categories for the week.
Come back next week to see what I can do with my favorite stamp set that is due to come in the mail today. You will have to wait till Monday to see what the set is called.
