Scrapbooking

These photographs were taken during my Incentive trip to Vienna with Stampin' Up! .  We were out visiting the Palace and walking the grounds with our Tour Guide and we had to pass through is lovely "Arch of Roses".  The light wasn't perfect for a photograph as the sunlight was shining through but it was so lovely, hence my title "Everything Rosey".

The patterned papers are from the "Sweet Shop" pack, the stripey one from the Paper Stack, so vibrant and modern and my Crumb Cake base neutralises everything.

Loving the "Heart of Hearts" Embosslit die, it cuts and embosses in one go and I adorned it with a gorgeous Printed Brad in Island Indigo.

The word "everything" came from the "For Everything" stamp set, I just inked the word I wanted using a marker pen and ommited the rest of the greeting which read "Thanks for everything".  I use my Itty Bitty Punch Pack all the time, the flowers are just so useful and small enough to squeeze in at every opportunity!

I also used the "Printed Petals" stamp set for the two Island Indigo flowers and "Confetti" for the little flowers on my base which I coloured the centres using the White Gel Pen.

Scrapbooking

Can't believe where the time is flying by, doesn't seem two minutes ago that I was having my last Scrapbooking class, a whole month has gone so I guess I must just be having the best time being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and loving what I do!!

This layout was pretty quick to assemble, not loads of stamping, some spritzing and die cutting along with embossing too.  The papers are from the "Sweet and Sour" DSP pack and there is also a Melon Mambo strip from the Patterns Stack.

The title was stamped using "Broadsheet", one of the Alphabet stamps which I adore, using Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo ink.

The butterflies were die cut using the "Beautiful Butterflies" Bigz die with the Big Shot Machine and we added pearls to the centres to finish.

Scrapbooking Continued....

Our second layout had colours that would be suitable for masculine or feminine photographs.  I took this photograph of my Husband whilst on a ski-ing trip to France last Christmas.  He is the map reader and always manages to get us back to our Chalet at the end of the day without get lost on the piste!!!

The colours used were Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red, So Saffron and Very Vanilla.  The So Saffron DSP is from the "Play Date" pack and the Soft Suede is from the Neutrals Paper Stack.

The picture is not very good so it is hard to see the detail but we used "Confetti" stamps to create an all over background on the Very Vanilla 12x12" base with Soft Suede ink then we daubed around the edge in the same colour.

We used "Just Perfect" Alphabet Stamps for the second part of our title and punched the letters out using the 3/4" Circle Punch.
