Christmas and Deer Scrapbook page

While Christmas is over I still wanted a chance to share the two retiring stamp set that I have that are Christmas. Here in Utah we’ve been wondering if Spring was ever going to come. We’ve had record breaking snow and it’s been coming down clear into April. I figured rather than making cards since Christmas is still a ways off, I would focus instead on scrapbook pages that I can put some of those fun Holiday pictures on.

I went with something a bit not traditional mixing together, browns, blues and greens. I also wanted to use as many retiring items that were seasonal as I could. You may notice that I used some new and returning colors. Yep, I’m enjoying playing with some of these new colors. The lighter blue is the new in color Boho Blue and the darker color is a returning in color that has been added to the core colors, Misty Moonlight. I love how they work so well together.

There is so much detail to this page that I thought I would share a few close up shots. The trees along the bottom are a punch where as the other trees I fussy cut as well as some of the deer. What I really love is the greetings all meshed together. Both of these sets have lots of great says that work well on cards, but I thought they made a fun word blog on the page. You will also notice the two embossed images using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. I always love it when a project turns out well, especially when I didn’t have an idea what to do when I started.

Adventure Awaits

It’s been a while since I’ve created a scrapbook page but I had this idea while I was doing some training at my new job. Have you ever gotten and idea from a project from somewhere kind of unusual? During the training they kept showing a picture and then drawing a line from the picture to create a rectangle. My mind immediately thought it would make a great card front or accent for a scrapbook page. As I mentioned the other day my family loves to be outdoors and I fell in love with the Campology stamp set wanting to use if for scrapbook pages. When I started creating this project I was drawn to the Greatest Journey Dies that I showcased early. I enjoyed combining the Enjoy the Journey Suite with the Campology Stamps to create this fun scrapbook layout. Now I just need to go camping so I can add some pictures.

I thought that I would give you a close up of some of the details on the page. Rather than cutting out the letters and placing them on the cardstock I actually did the reverse and lined them up and cut them out using the cutout as my header. I used some old washi tape to hold them in place so they didn’t move as I was cutting them out. The advantage to this technique was that I didn’t have to worry about attaching a bunch of small pieces to my project.

I really love how the accent pieces turned out. I think I may create more projects using this outline technique. It was simple to create using a ruler and our stampin’ write markers. I also used black to add shadow to some of the images as a way to incorporate the black accessories I wanted to use from the suite. I finished it off by using accents from the greatest journey suite including some of the awesome designer series paper which is where I pulled my color scheme from.

  • 160594 – Greatest Journey Bundle (Stamp and Dies) (R) (M)
  • 160599 – Enjoy the Journey Suite Collection (R) (M)

  • 160598 – Enamel Sticker Icons – (R) (M)
  • 160586 – Enjoy the Journey 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (R) (M)

  • 104199 – Linen Thread (C)
  • Colors – Coastal Cabana (C), Garden Green (C), Crumb Cake (C), Basic Black (C), Basic White (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over, (M) Found in the Mini Catalog

When I started this project I originally used the colors Shaded Spruce and Very Vanilla, but then I ended up deciding to use elements from the Enjoy the Journey Suite and the Designer Series Paper used slightly different colors. Rather than let my original focal image go to waste I turned it into a quick card adding in additional embellishments and words from the suite.

Covention Swaps 12 x 12 group 1

Sorry I’ve been missing in action we’ve had internet problems and I’ve had camera issues, but I’m back and with some fabulous swaps form convention. The last group I did was 12 x 12 pages. There were actually two group for this one. Because there are so many I’m going to break them up in 4 groups. So enjoy!

There is no particular order here and I will try and let you know who did each one (hopefully they are all marked.)  Thanks again to everyone who participated all of the pages are great.   I’ve already used some for Club and I’m looking forward to adding pictures to them.

First up is mine.  I used the awesome Awash with Flowers Set.  It’s hard to tell but the flowers are done with a fun technique that gives you a water color look even though it’s a solid stamp.

This page is so fun and so cute.  In fact I used it for club last month.  With just one change.  Her cute sand is actually made with real sand paper.  I created it with the awesome log cabin spray.  I just love all the fun punch art on this page as well.  It was created by Natalie Cottle.

Can I say I’m in love.  This page is adorable.  It was made by Melanie Williams and she would say it’s a little Cheese.  I would have to agree.  The cheese is so cute I love how easy it is to make just using all of our different circle punches.  Plus doesn’t the hamburger just look good enough to eat.  She even added texture to the bun by using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

#117335 Perfect Polka Dots $7.95

On the Grill
#116970 Wood $23.95

The last fun page for today was created by Deanne Henderson.  I love how simple it is yet very I catching.  There’s so much detail in all the flowers.  Off course they were created with our great punches again.  What you can’t see very well is the fun Rhinestones in the center of the small flowers.  With 150 per package it’s so easy to add fun bling to your page.

January & February Club

So I realized I’ve been a bit behind in my blog posting lately.  Sorry life has been crazy.  I thought I would share with you the fun projects we’ve done at club the last two months.  I will be having a Club Discovery on Saturday March at 11:00 am.  This is a great time to come and check out what club is all about.  Bring a friend and I will have a free gift for you.

With my clubs you have two options for regular club members.  You can sign up for the Scrapbook pages where you will make a 12 x 12 double page layout.  Last month we made this fun home page using the sale-a-bration items.

In January we made this fun Love page.  The club members were able to try out the fun build-a-bear die cut products we have.  That’s one of the great things about club.  Not only to you get to try some of our great products before you buy them I will also teach you how to use them.

The other options for my regular club members is to make cards.  Card club members make two each of two different cards.  That way you will always have one you can keep and one you can give away.  I usually try to make one of the cards match the page.  This way you have ideas on how versatile our products are and you get the chance to do the same technique.  In February we made these two fun cards. 

I got all of my Sale-a-bration sets & hostess sets  in the clear mount so club members were able to try these new stamps and see which style fit them best.

In January they made these two great cards.

Sometimes I will have a bonus project for all of the club members to make.  In Jaunuary they didn’t make these, but I made them and gave them to each new club member.  They cover a calendar so they can keep track of all the fun events I have going on.

As a regular club member you agree to spend $15.00 each month (before shipping and tax) on Stampin’ Up! products of your choice.  Each member gets one month that they receive the hostess benefits.  Plus they get a Stampin’ Up! catalog for free.  Click here to check out the contract.

Club is held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at my home (no need to clean yours.)  You can also chose to be  a Saturday member.  This club meets just 4 times during the year (once a quarter) and will make the projects for the three previous months.  You still place your order every month.

The last option is called an alternative club member.  There is no obligation with this membership.  You can come anytime you like you just have to let me know at least 2 days in advance.  You can choose to pay for your projects $5.00 or you can place a $25.00 order and it’s free.  This is great if you can’t come every time, but still want to join in when you can.  You also get a punch card that will help you to earn free products as well.

So what are you waiting for.  Come and enjoy a girls night out and check out club.  Contact me today to join 435-245-5321 or 435-232-2655.  E-mail me today at andersoncandice@hotmail.com

There will be a special project for anyone that comes to the Club Discovery on Saturday the 20th.  Current club members are invited to come and bring guests.  If you decide before then that you want to join club you can come and make up the previous month projects on this Saturday.  Just let me know in advance.  You can pay $5.00 for each month or place a $15.00 order for each month.  Remember that it’s still Sale-a-brations and I will add all three months together for new club members so $5.00 can earn you a sale-a-bration set.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

New Club Starting in January

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that I have a new club starting in January.  It will be on January 13th.  I have two times available.  Daytime is from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm or evening from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  I also have a Saturday Club which will meet once a quarter from 10:oo am – 3:00 pm to make the projects.

Each month you will get to make a project (either a 12 x 12 double page scrapbook layout or 4 cards).  Plus one of the months you will get to be the hostess and receive all the hostess benefits.  All you need to do is make a commitment to spend $15.00 each month on Stampin’ Up! products of your choice.

Not sure about the commitment?  You can come to club anytime without joining all you have to do is let me know a week in advance.  I charge $7.00 for the projects if you are not a club member (free for club members.)  Or they are free with a $25.00 order.  However if you have never been to club you can come and check it out one month for free.

Click here for the Contract and all the details.

Here’s the fun projects we made last month.

I taught them how to make fun snow globes and how to use our great glitter with less mess.  Here is the snow globe on a card.

Here is how in incorporated the snow globe into the scrapbook pages.  I usually like to make the scrapbook page match one of the cards so you can see how versatile our products can be.  It’s also a great way to start to learn how to take card ideas and turn them into scrapbook pages and scrapbook pages into cards.

My card members always make two each of two different cards.  That way you have one to keep and one to give away.  Here was the second card they got to make.  This time we used window sheets for the snow globe instead of the glitter.

Sometimes I throw in a bonus project for everyone.  I just had to play with our fun pop-up christmas tree die.  This is the outside of the card.
