Pink Pumpkins and Golden Webs!

Here is a Halloween scrapbook page with a twist! Who doesn’t love the sophisticated colors of pink and gold? I decided to use them here for a unique color palette for this scrapbook page!

I started with a base of Petal Pink card stock in 12x12 and added a layer of Basic White over top. There is actually no background stamping on this page, which is a little unusual for me! I let amazing dies do all the work to bring this page to life!

I used the stamp set Cutest Halloween for my pink pumpkins and the sentiments “Hey Boo” and “Have a fab(boo)lous Halloween”. I thought they were the perfect sentiments for this page.

 

I love this fun little area or vignette on the top right of my page. I used the Brushed Metallic Cardstock and the Frightful Tags Dies to cut out the spider webs and I love that they are incomplete webs—meaning you don’t see a full web.

Hey Boo! is cut using one of the label dies from the Seasonal Labels Dies.

Boo is cut from our Black Glitter Paper, Foam Adhesive Sheets and the Playful Alphabet Dies.

I also added a few of the Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins as an extra fun embellishment!

The pumpkin outline is stamped with Momento Ink and filled in with the Petal Pink ink. You can punch these out using the coordinating Halloween Punch! One is added flat to the page and the other two are elevated with Dimensionals. I think this whole little area has so much texture and interest to it!

For this bottom left little vignette I wanted the feel of an elegant pumpkin patch. I started with a large circle but from the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper and layered pumpkins from the Detailed Pumpkins Dies in Basic Black and Petal Pink. Of course you want to tie in elements on your page together so I used another stamped pumpkin and some of the Cute Stars embellishments again.

The sentiment also has some black twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack behind it as well. Have you noticed I love me some twine?

I hope this page inspires you to create a scrapbook page with colors that you don’t normally associate with Halloween! I absolutely LOVE how it turned out and I can’t wait to add a picture to this page after this years festivities!

If my design has inspired you, please consider shopping with me if you live in Canada! I would love to keep doing what I love!

Do you love Memories and More?

Have you crafted with Memories and More? If you have shied away from memory keeping, I truly encourage you to give this product line a chance. I scooped these retired Big Plans cards up on the Clearance Rack a few weeks back. I almost have regret that I didn’t order them when they were current product! I turned them into this AAAAMAZING mini Memories and More album! Here is my secret—-look at each panel like a card front. How would you design and embellish a card? I also put a lot of embellishments on the OUTSIDE of the pocket pages! want to be able to see and touch them when I flip the pages. Dimensionals work awesome to keep stuff stuck down. I love the color combo of these cards too. Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch and Grey Granite were the perfect pairing for my album, which is my summer 2019 highlights album. I am offering this as all day stamping’ class on Saturday, Nov 23rd from 9:30-5. My stampin’ friends will come and create this album that holds at least 26 photos and has lots of sparkle as I embellished like crazy with rhinestones and Wink of Stella. I do have a couple spots left in this class, so if you are interested in more details please reach out to me! I hope this little snippet encourages you to give this product line a try!

Classic Summer Fun!

Celebrating summer and my hubby in this layout! We really have been having the best summer together which began with a super fun, heartfelt and touching wedding of our friends The Wood’s! After that we started our adventure on the #besttripever so you will no doubt be seeing alot of those photos on upcoming scrapbook pages! On this page layout I wanted to combine both of the alphabet framelits that Stampin’ Up! is selling. I used soft fun colors and created the bubbly light feel of summer with light background stamping and embossed flowers that seemed to float on the page. I added some washi tape as well as I didn’t have the right yellow DSP I was looking for.

Grow Old with Me the Best is Yet to be...

Oh. Snap!

At the top of my “MUST ORDER” list is this awesome stamp set, Capture the Good. I could not wait to create a page layout with it! The possibilities are absolutely endless with the camera image and the sentiments are perfect for a variety of projects! My monthly page class will get to create this page on Wednesday. We meet the last Wednesday of each month. If you are in the YEG area I would love if you popped in for a scrapbook class sometime! To color the cameras I used our awesome Stampin’ Blends in Roccoco Rose, Bermuday Bay, Old Olive and Mango Melody. All of the images on this page are from this one stamp set!
