Scrapbook Sunday # 33

Do you sometimes get stuck when it comes to creating masculine pages? I do. Here's one that can be used for any occasion, including father's day and birthday.

You may recognize the layout. It is a flipped version of last week's layout. Sometimes it helps people to see a familiar layout with different stamps, papers and embellishments. Its also good to know that you don't have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to designing pages...just use one that you have already created and switch out the elements.

I used the Neutrals Designer series paper stack for the background paper and the central paper block the other paper elements are all Mint Macaron card stock pieces. 

The framelits I used for this project are:
Project Life Paper Clips Thinlits
Tags and Labels Framelits
Mini Treat bag Thinlits

The stamp set is "Guy Greetings"

Have a blessed day,

Scrapbook Sunday Turtle Page

When I chose these photos to create a scrapbook page, I was thinking of polka dots and circles. But when I went through my Stampin' Up! 12" x 12" papers I found this paper from the Sweet Li'l Things Designer Series paper pack and decided it would be perfect.

I didn't use any stamps on this page. I drew the turtles free-hand to be similar to the ones on the page. Then I used the Chevron punch to punch out some chevrons, repeating a design in the paper, from Watermelon Wonder card stock and Soft Sky card stock, two of the colors that are in the paper.

Scrapbook Sunday # 1

I am going to try doing some scrapbook pages. I have plenty of products to use to make pages and I have plenty of photos that need to go in albums, I just haven't taken the time to create the page.

Some of the pages will be pages that I create with papers, embellishments, photos and layers. Others like this first one I created will be designed with my "My Digital Studio" program.

This is a 12" x 12" page.
I used Crumb Cake to fill the 12" x 12" background.
I used a square punch to add a square shape over the base and expanded it out to within an inch of the edge all the way around. Then I filled the punch with Soft Sky.
I added another square punch and expanded it to within 1/2" of the soft sky all the way around. Then I filled it with Crumb Cake. 
On top of this layer I added a Chevron punch, expanded it, filled it with Soft Sky, copied and pasted a second one on the end.
Then I added a square punch shape, created a retangle and put it in the lower left corner. On top of the white rectangle I added a journaling tag. I used the lined paper stamp that is in the A+ stamp set. 
After that I added the two shells from By the Seashore stamp set. I colored one with Very Vanilla and then I expanded and colored the Nautilus with Soft Suede.
Then I added the sunburst and filled it with Daffodil Delight and expanded it and moved it up to the corner.
Then add another square punch, expand it into a rectangle, add a Soft Suede shadow and fill with Soft Sky.
The Summer sun is from a free 'Label it' set. But you can create your own title in that area.

I'm going to put a photo of my grandson on this page. I have a really cute one from his first visit to the beach.

Hope you can use this idea too!
