chomp

This layout was for the Stampin' and Scrappin' challenge at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking. We were to stamp a border of some kind. I used the Basic Grey Archaic clear footprint stamp to stamp across my photo mat. The papers, chipboard and buttons are also Basic Grey. The "Memo" stamped journaling piece is from Stampin Up!

Kit Sneak Peeks

These are snippets from layouts I made...with one of the kits. Watch for a full reveal when the kit is released on the 20th! At first glance you might think these are for "boy" layouts, but I thought they worked well for a variety of different themes.

June {SAS}sy kits

Yep, your heard it right...KITS! For June at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking. We couldn't decide on which kit to debut...so we are doing 2! Both are gorgeous and I can't wait to show you the full reveal. For now, here are a couple sneaks of each kit! *Reveal date is tentatively scheduled near the end of this month:

more cards

These cards are made with all Stampin Up! products.

The first card the greeting and flower are from "Kind & Caring Thoughts". The flower was stamped then stamped again without reinking. Such a simple and easy technique, but very effective.

On the second card, I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig with the flourish and flower stamp to get the images touching the way I wanted. I colored them in with an Aqua Painter and ink from the ink pads. The image is from the set "Messages for Mom".

The blue card was stamped with images from "Vintage Vogue".

The last card is using the "Messages for Mom" set again. I punched out the half circle to partially frame the image and used pop dots to raise the area.

May journaling challenge

The May journaling challenge at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking is to use the 5 W's in your journaling - Who, What, Where, When and Why. I used these pictures of Katie at WDW Animal Kingdom. I've taken a series of pictures of her measuring herself here, she was so determined to ride this ride. Cardstock and brown pp is Stampin Up, rest of pp is Daisy D's. The tape measure and fussy cut flowers are from Cosmo Cricket Material Girl line the little green leaf and flourishes are from the Basic Grey Lemonade cardstock stickers, the yellow alphas and flower centers are by Pink Paislee.

May ad challenge

The ad challenge for the month of may at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking is an ad from the South Dakota magazine for the 1880 train. This design caught my eye, but also the theme reminded me of the picture we had taken while on the train at Animal Kingdom. I also liked the printed border, but used stitching instead. The train background paper is some of the first Basic Grey paper I'd gotten from the Oh! Baby! Boy line. The blue dots and line is Stampin Up! as is the metal photo anchor. The stripe paper is Scenic Route as is the "A Perfect Day" piece. The train ticket is from Maya Road, the chipboard butterfly button is Cosmo Cricket and the journaling card is by Making Memories.

National Scrapbook Day crop

The National Scrapbook Day crop at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking was a ton of fun. There were plenty of challenges, games and RAK's for all that wanted to play along. Here are the pages I got done. The first three layouts were samples for my challenges, the rest are for challenges posted by the rest of the team.
