Some scrappin’ March 11, 2009

Hi there. Just wanted to share with you some scrapbook pages that I’ve achieved recently. I say achieved because it is a mammoth effort for me to get any scrapbooking done these days, so when I do it feels like a major achievement!

 

For the first page I used some carousel notes (from the summer mini) for the tree, and cut a trunk free-hand. I stamped the trunk with the textured stamp from the soon to be retired hostess set “Oh so Lovely”. The little “be happy” was from another hostess set “so many sayings”  which is also retiring. The birdie was from the “Always” set which was in the spring mini. I hope this set makes it into the main catalogue cos I do love it so! The title was done using big deal  alphabet, and simple serif mini. As you can see I did some journalling inside the “O” by stamping the memo stamp set from “office accoutrement” (also retiring), punching this out with a circle punch, adding the handwritten details and sticking it to the O. I also used some anchored rubons (retiring too!) and silver hodgepodge to finish it off. The colours were wild wasabi, chocolate chip, bashful blue and ruby red. Wow I didn’t realise how much was retiring until now! 

 

For the second page I started with a Basic Gray textured CS. I wheeled the classic stars wheel in night of navy over some whisper white cs, and stuck this down. I then inked the star wheel up straight from my so saffron inkpad and wheeled again over some whisper white. I cut out some individual saffron stars and stuck these over the navy ones with some stampin dimensionals. For the film strip I used the double rectangle punch along both of the so saffron cs, and mounted this to a strip of night of navy. The “original” is from the ”office accoutrement” set and so is the memo stamp. Plus some more anchored rubons and big deal alpha again for the title. I had been wanting to the ”film strip” effect for ages, and thought this little photo shoot was perfect for it! 

Hope you like. Please feel free to leave a comment
