May is National Scrapbooking Month

To celebrate National Scrapbooking Month, I thought it would be a great idea to kick things off with a scrapbook project.  For my next class, I designed a super quick & easy Baby Scrapbook Album that could be completed in just a few hours and with minimal supplies.  But be warned.....all of the supplies are on the retirement list and are only available while supplies last.

For this project, you will need:

Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper

Item #122347

Price   $10.95

 

Nursery Nest Quick Accents Kit

Item #122370

Price:  $9.95

 

 

Polka Dot Party 6" x 6" Designer Printed Album

Item #122466

Price:  $10.95

 

Whisper White 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock

Item #124302

Price:  $5.95

 

You'll need to have some adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals on hand, but that is the extent of the supply list.  Cool, huh?

Please note:  You will have leftover Designer Series Paper and cardstock....enough to make some cards, scrapbook pages, or even another album (just add on more of the accents to your order).

This project was inspired by an album I saw at last year's convention.  I think this would be a great way to decorate the cover!

Now here is a look at all of the layouts:

I've posted each layout separately on my FACEBOOK page if you would like a closer look.  Be sure to LIKE my page and leave me a nice comment while you are there!

I did mostly "girly" pages, but you can easily switch out the paper patterns to make any of the layouts for a boy.  These albums make a great gift for an expectant mom, grandparents, or anyone that has a child.

You can order any of these products on my Stampin' Up! website.  I'm not sure there would be enough interest in a tutorial since the pages are fairly straightforward.  However, if you would like a tutorial to be offered, just leave me a comment.

I've got more scrapbooking projects in the works, so you can look forward to a month of My Digital Studio creations and 12" x 12" layouts.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blast from the Past

We made this card at a class way back in January.  Of course, I was getting ready for Valentine's day, hence the use of a Valentine's stamp set.  I think that this card could be used for other occasions as well, don't you?

PAPER:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Twitterpated Designer Series Paper

Race to the Finish

It's coming down to the wire and I only have a few more days to share all my projects from the Occasions Mini catalog with you.  Remember, these products are only available until April 30th. 

For a recent workshop, I was looking for a project to demonstrate the new Diagonal Scoring Plate.  I ran across this video from Stampin' Up! that showed how simple it is to create your own envelopes.

What I really loved was the card.  It features the Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper, Mouthwatering stamp set, and the Cherry Scented embossing powder. 

 

The background on the card and on the envelope label was also created with the Diagonal scoring plate.  Get these products now before they are gone forever.  You can shop anytime on my Stampin' Up! website.

Pretty Ponies

Today I'm sharing my second set of cards from Cards with Cool Moves.  For this round of UStamp, we did cards that featured some type of movement.  I used the Pony Party stamp set.....actually, I had to "borrow" this stamp set from my daughter.  It's one of her favorites and she kept asking when I was going to return it.

     

      Click on any of the above images to enlarge the photo.

This is such a fun stamp set for little girls.  I purchased it for my daughter so that she would have her own stamps to use, but I love it just as much.  There are so many cool accessories for the ponies--wings, a horn, flowers, butterflies, and rainbows.  Now for the sad part....this stamp set is retiring and is only available until May 31st.

The retiring accessories will be posted tomorrow.  Be sure to look for the link at the top of the blog.  Accessories are sold while supplies last, so if there is something you want....get it fast.  You can order anytime on my Stampin' Up website.

The complete tutorial for this set of cards is available on Cards with Cool Moves.  In fact, there are more than 40 tutorials availble in this session and they are amazing!  The website will remain open for several months, so it's not too late to join.

 

 

Love & Laughter

I'm a little late in sharing my projects from the most recent session of UStamp.  For this round, we did cards that featured some type of movement.  My first set of cards was created with the Love & Laughter stamp set and the Wedding Words jumbo wheel from the Occasions Mini catalog.

       

Click on any of the above images to enlarge the photo.

The stamp set and wheel are only available through Stampin' Up! for one more week.  If you've got some weddings coming up, you'll definitely want to have these items on hand.

The complete tutorial for this set of cards is available on UStamp Cards with Cool Moves.  In fact, there are more than 40 tutorials availble in this session and they are amazing!  The website will remain open for several months, so it's not too late to join.
