May is National Scrapbooking Month!
May is National Scrapbooking Month, and to celebrate, I'm going to concentrate on posting scrapbooking ideas. Here's a cute 12"x12" page I recently made of my eldest grandchild, Quinn. Scrapbook pages are much, much harder to photograph than cards!
I've taken the color scheme for this bright page from the colors and textures of the photo. Working with a great photo doesn't leave much room for error! I tied in (no pun intended!) Quinn's red polka dot jacket with Stampin' Up!'s 3/4" Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon and Pumpkin Pie Patterns Designer Series Paper. While I was on a roll with circles, I pulled out Circle Circus stamp set to add some fun and interest. And I love that I can get 12"x12" Textured Card Stock in all of Stampin' Up!'s great colors! For just a few cents a page more, the textured paper is such a nice addition! The Eyelet Border Punch is a must for scrapbooking! You can punch a 12"x12" piece of card stock perfectly! But my most favorite product for scrapbooking is the Big Shot. With this terrific die cut machine, I'm able to cut out any letters for all my scrapbooking titles. Here I've used Alphabet Simple Letters die set. And I can cut chipboard AND card stock to cover them in one crank of the handle! Just add a bit of Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive and you're done!
