Be Mine

Last night we had our hostess club and for the first time we made a scrap page. It was a welcome change from just making cards. The best part was that we used some new goodies from the Occasions Mini catalog. The flowers were all made from the gorgeous new designer series paper, Sending Love and the flower centers were brads, including the new little beauties, Chocolate Chip Epoxy Brads. The pictures don't do justice to these products - especially the paper. Its glittery and thick. If you click on the image you can see the details better. The pretty border on the photo mat is the new Scallop Trim Border Punch that could be yours FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog when you spend $50!























Isn't the flower on the bottom corner so pretty? We used the Full Heart punch to create it (so smart, I know!). The new Pretty In Pink corduroy button is the center. Love those! I hope SU! offers those in more colors in the next catalog. And more of the Epoxy Brads. And Designer Series Paper, and...............!

Another Scrap Page

This page was pretty easy to put together as I used the Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' Kit. The only thing that didn't come from the kit was the 'happy' definition stamp. I love these pictures of my kids...they are from last summer and I can see all the growth that has taken place in just one year.



















Supplies Used
Stamps: Define Your Life
Paper: Old Olive Textured Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock
Ink: Pink Passion, Old Olive marker
Accessories: Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' Kit

Today I felt like scrapping and cranked out three pages! That's a lot for me but I guess it can go quicker once you get going. I usually scrap 12x12 but decided to try 8 1/2 x 11 with this picture of Max. I love this size! I guess I'm going to have to get some albums for it because I plan on doing more of them.


I embossed the chipboard letters with black craft ink and black embossing powder. It came out really thick and shiny...its easier to see in the picture below if you click on it. I've had the chipboard for at least a year and keep forgetting to use it! It gives a nice dimension to projects.

Supplies Used

Stamps: None! That's a first!

Ink: Black Craft Ink & Black Journaling Marker/Pen

Paper: Real Red, Night & Day Specialty Designer Series Paper, The Write Stuff DSP

Accessories: Black Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Black Brads, Red Polka Dot Ribbon &

1 3/4" Circle Punch

Scrapping My Boys

I haven't scrapped in a loooong time and decided

I just had to. After cranking out some pages I don't know what has kept me from it! The picture is from a few years ago but its one I love. The boys were just beginning to realize how great having a brother was.

I love the rub ons that I had in my stash to use because they are super easy to apply and add a nice touch. Unfortunately, they are retired as is most of the product I used : P

p.s. Sorry for the poor picture quality!

Finally, I Scrapped!

I haven't scrapped in weeks and I finally sat down and did this page on Sunday. I got around 300 photos printed on special at Kodak.com a month or so ago and have been wanting to get busy and scrap. I used some retired Designer Series Paper on this one and I love it. I got it to

do boy pages for Max & Tim. I love the way they give that stiff, cheesy grin at this young age!

Supplies

Stamps: Schoolbook Serif Alphabet

Ink: Pumkin Pie

Paper: Kiwi Kiss textured, Whisper White & Jersey Shore DSP

Accessories: clear buttons, Corner Rounder Punch
