More scrapbook pages

Started out with white cardstock. Rubbed a red stamppad over it, then stamped a present background stamp across in blue, then randomly stamped green candles. #1 tag and "it's a party" cut with cricut using Celebrations cart.

Castle cut from white cardstock using Paper Doll Dress Up cart. Rubbed pink stamppad on it. Stamped "My Little Princess" stamp on 12 x 12 cardstock, then using cottonball, rubbed green ink around the "My Little Princess" stamped images. Stamped "My Little Princess" in a darker ink on more white cardstock, but the images out, and then used them for higlight images.

Nothing that isn't obvious except that I smooshed a pink stamppad all over a piece of white cardstock to give me the background piece.

One of my favorite pages, I think because of the colors. Tree stamps are from the SU! Lovely As A Tree stamp set. Waterton is cut from the Calligraphy cart.

Again a white piece of cardstock that I stamped pink and purple flowers on and green leaves. See the cute paperclip. Guess where I got it? Office Depot.

Started out with a pink piece of cardstock and then stamped SU! Big Blossom in green and then stamped itty bitty background flowers from SU! (sorry don't know the name of stamp set). Adorable was cut with my cricut. Don't know the cart that I used. Tried my best to color match her dress with the colors that I used for stamping.

I started with a piece of 11 3/4x11 3/4" white cardstock, stamped mango flowers, then the green leaves and then the pink flowers. I tried to color-coordinate the stamped colors with the flowers in the picture.

I had too many pictures to put on one page, so I stamped the same pink flower on a piece of patterned green cardstock.

I cut the words Evan & Julie & I(heart)U out of green cardstock with my cricut using the Calligraphy Collection cart. I cut the heart out again of white cardstock and then scuffed it with the pink stamppad so it would color match. Put the pictures on. The 11 3/4 x 11 3/4 piece of cardstock is matted on a piece of 12x12 black cardstock. I like to do this as you will see. When I used adhesive, I only went around the 2 sides and the bottom, because...

See, the green tab at the top of the previous picture. The 8 1/2 x 11 page goes between the other 2 pages. It's a sneaky way to add more pictures without cluttering up your main page. Cool, eh? I had all these cute pics of our oldest daughter that I wanted in her scrapbook, and that's how I did it. The tab attachment on the green page was cut from the Fabulous Finds cart. That cart is so wonderful for scrapbooking, so nice and versatile.

So I did 2 pages, pretty much identical, one was for our oldest daughter's scrapbook (previous pictures) and then this one was for our son's scrapbook. He wasn't in any of the pictures as he was napping. Again I didn't want to journal on the page, so I cut a "recipe card" from the Fabulous Finds cart, scuffed it with the pink stamppad, and used that for the journalling. Hopefully you can tell that I hid it behind the wedding picture leaving just the tab part out.

My first post - Hooray!

This card started from white cardstock. There is no colored or patterned paper used.

This is a tri-fold card, so you need a piece of 5 1/2 x 12" paper. You score it an cut it (exact instructions can be found on splitcoaststampers.com). Once I had the cardstock scored, cut and folded, I took a green stamppad and rubbed it all over the white card.

I use SU! stamppads - they have the nylon covering. I tried using my silver colorbox stamppad once, and just about wrecked it.

I then measured and cut out white cardstock for the layers, this was complicated and I'm going to create a project in Design Studio to do this for me from now on. Once I got the white cardstock layers cut out. I stamped the pink flowers from Hampton Arts. I love these big flowers and I got them on sale. The 3, 0 , happy, birthday, and celebrate I cut out with my cricut. The purple stamp background is from a Stampendous set as is the background stamp that I used for the yellow. The big accordian flower (fan-fold flower is the technique) is a piece of white cardstock cut at a 1x12". I used a scallop border punch to punch along the one side. At every notch, I scored it, and then once it was all scored, I folded it accordian style (complete instructions on splitcoaststampers.com). Before I scored and folded it though, I stamped on it with pink and purple and yellow flowers from the same Hampton Arts set. This one of my favorite stamp sets.

This is the same style of card. I made this for my niece who turned 12 in January. The little girl is from Everyday Paper Dolls (cricut cart). I stamped the flowers on her shirt and colored them in. The stamp is from SU! stamp set. Again, I started out with all white cardstock. The only part that was colored cardstock is her hair and her jeans. Doesn't she have the cutest face. It's a face from the peachy keen faces. If you have the Paper Dolls carts, you really should have the peachy keen faces. So cute!
This was the first time that I had ever used bling. Aren't those little flower blings so cute!? They totally added the final touches to the card. I remember when I added them, my thought was - so cute, why haven't I done this before??

This card I made for brother who plays in a band and has countless guitars. The embossing is done with my cuttlebug and the music fiskars embossing template. I scuffed over it with my colorbox silver stamppad to bring out the embossing. The rocker dude is from Everyday Paper Dolls cart. Love that cart, one of my favs.
