Heart and Craft

Yes, don’t fall over….I have done some Scrapbooking!

I have a scrapbooking class coming up so needed to get organised in giving them a sample project.  As you can see it similar layout to the one on page 29 Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue but I decided to change the colours a bit (actually that is not really true…I went to make this layout exactly the same but had a mini panic attack when I realised that I didn’t have any 12×12 Kraft so I had improvise).

Here is the girl version.

Stamp Sets: Fox and Friends, Defining Alphabet, Short & Sweet.

Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette.

Inks: Mellow Moss, Pink Pirouette, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip.

Accessories: Corner Rounder Punch (yes, we do have one, it was accidently left off the catalogue). Dimensionals, Stamp-a-majic, Silver brads and 1/16 hole punch.

The boy version:

Everything as above except add some Bashful Blue cardstock and ink, and also some Brocade Blue ink for the little whale.

You could do lots more journalling on that blank block, I was time poor so just added the little “love you” stamp.

I wanted to make a more neutral page that did not require photos so quickly whipped up this one:

Those blank boxes could be filled up with any journalling that you wanted, such as Birth details.  They are also a place to put stamped sentiments or other words using the defining alphabet stamps such as “love” etc.

The coloured block is So Saffron.  The little fox is Pale Plum and all other colours as listed above.

This is a super easy page, the blocks I have used are 5 cm x 3 inches (sorry about the two different types of measurement!)

Happy Scrapbooking and Stampin’

I often look for an excuse to make cards with the girls, kinda like a win/win situation   This is from a recent session with Tegan:

While we were making our cards Tegan said “you know I would rather just make up my own design that copy one of yours”.  I did not know whether to be proud of her creativity or sad that she is not the blatant copier that I am!

Anyway, here is her ORIGINAL creation…

Stamp Sets: Embrace Life, Defining Alphabet. Whimsical Words.

She has cut out her flower and adhered it on top of some “5 Petal Flower” Punched shapes as they are her leaves.  She has also used the Curly Label punch.

Her colours are Very Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss, River Rock (retired as it is one of last year’s In Colours) and some retired DSP (it was called “Ginger Blossom”).

Good work Tegs, maybe you can be my card designer?
