Valentine's 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

 

Was your Valentine's Day super sweet? Maybe you have some pictures to scrapbook?

I made a 12x12 layout without the reds and pinks this year.  Love the not-traditional color combination! 

The left page features a picture frame and a sparkly heart:

The right page has a title/journal box and a fun trim made with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch:

The patterned paper is the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper from the 2012 Sale-a-Bration brochure.  You can get this paper pack FREE with any $50 purchase (before tax/shipping) until March 31st!

Sprinkling Happiness Card

Did you see the whimsical little gnomes in the Occasions Mini Catalog?  I had the chance to use the Gnome Sweet Gnome set recently and came up with this happy card.

I used the In Color 2011-2013 palette--Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade.  Such a great combo!  The hearts are from the Heart to Heart Punch--I outlined them with my Basic Black marker and watercolored them to match the gnome.

I'm so happy because my 7 year old son just fixed my computer.  Somewhere along the way a setting got changed and I lost all sound.  It's been a pain for the last 3 months and I was planning to take it in to be fixed this week.  He changed something in Skype today and I'm back in the audio world.  Guess I'm not smarter than a 2nd grader!  :-)

MDS Punch Art Card

 

I LOOOVE my Stampin' Up! punches...and I have fun using them in My Digital Studio, too!  Check out my digital punch art....

My objective was to make a quick digital card that I could use as an embellishment "sampler".  Everything here is an SU digital image except for the card stock card back and the four different types of embellishments.

 

Have you tried My Digital Studio?

In My Heart Card

Here's a card from my last stampin' class.  If you're in the Nashville area you should join us next month!    I'm also starting a new 12x12 scrapbook class in March--contact me for more info...

I used the "faux embossing" technique for the hearts on the background--that's just punching out a shape and gluing it to cardstock of the same color.  It gives the area some interest without being too busy.

I added that Valentine sparkle with Red Glimmer Paper from the Occasions Mini catalog.  It comes in 12x12 sheets so you can scrapbook with it, too!

Happy stamping!

Love You Sew Much

 

Yes, Christmas is next week -- but I couldn't resist digging into some of the new products from the upcoming 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog.  Lots of fantastic goodies are just around the corner (available January 4th).

This card uses a super-cute stamp set called "Sew Suite".  There's a whole range of "Sweet Stitches" products to go with this set--DSP paper, rub-ons, buttons, ribbons/trims...

The sewing machine is paper-pieced from Brushed Silver card stock.  I also used the new Red Glimmer paper...awesome bling for the Valentine's projects!  Here's another angle to show the metallic shine:

I made my custom sentiment with My Digital Studio--just can't resist a pun!

 

Happy Stamping!

Things I Love Scrapbook Layout

 

What does a girl love?  Shoes, chocolate and shopping!  I thought the sparkly polka-dot paper from the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper pack (2010 Holiday Mini Catalog) would look great with this stamp set.  That's right--Christmas paper! 

The tiniest self-adhesive pearls from the Basic Pearls pack accent each stamp---so cute!

If you are in the Nashville area, please contact me for class information.  I have a class that includes a 6"x6" layout like this each month!

All About Amour

Romantic and vintage elements are definitely present in the new Stampin' Up! 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog.  I adore the SU Exclusive "Vintage Wallpaper" Embossing Folder and the gorgeous satin ribbon used here.

My friend, Julie Salva, designed this card but asked me to "shabby" it up a bit for a swap.  So I used the Embossing Folder, sponged with Basic Gray ink and added the satin bow.

With All My Heart 6x6 Layout

My Technique class got snowed out and postponed....but I wanted to share the Valentine's layout before it actually IS Valentine's Day.   :-)

This 6x6 layout uses the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper and a big dose of Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

The "With All My Heart" stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog works wonderfully with many of the Stampin' Up! punches...see all the images below!

Love You Much Card

I am so loving the sparkly Sending Love Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog!  I used a bunch of my new supplies on this card--a new heart punch, the "Well Scripted" stamp set and my FREE Scallop Trim punch.

The pink flower elements are made by putting 4 of the Small Heart Punches together.I added some sparkle to three Pretty in Pink brads by dipping them in Crystal Effects and then in Dazzling Diamonds glitter:
