STAMP WITH US!

Build-a-Bear Summer Pages. Very cute! Everyone loved the bears.

These are two of the pages we made at my last Build-a-Bear Scrap class.

I used the Double Sided Paper Pink Flamingo with  the coordinating cardstocks - Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Summer Sun. The background papers  I used are so pretty to cover, so, I cut around the images and overlap them on my mat.

  

Here is the scrap map I used.

  

The Stampin' Up! Build-a-Bear dies are featured in the Holiday Minicatalog which is available to order on Sept. 1.  Please e-mail me at stampwithus@yahoo.com to request your free Holiday minicatalog to see the coordinating Build-a-Bear stamp set, papers, and Stampin' Up! dies.

Happy Stampin'!

Popsicle Scented Card

  

I first saw a similar popsicle card from one of the Demonstrators when I attended the Stampin' Up! Leadership seminar.   I made this card look like the real thing by crimping the cardstock.  This card smells yummy after I embossed the cardstock with Kool Aid and embossing powder.   I stamped the Whisper White cardstock and twill ribbon with Tart and Tangy stamp set.

Life's A Breeze Scrapbook Page

This scrapbook page features the photos taken from our Stampin' Up! cruise last year. 

Notice how this page opens to reveal the hidden journaling.

This is the second page of our photos taken at Half Moon Cay, Bahamas -   Holland America's private island.  My son took this picture of our feet as we were relaxing on the beach.  When I look at these pictures, I can still feel the wind on my face and the sand under my feet- as white and fine as powdered sugar.  Aaaaah!  I hope to go back there someday.

I used Life's a Breeze stamp set and the Something Fishy jumbo wheel.  The jumbo wheel is free when you order the bundle this month- April 2008.  Click here to see the other free jumbo wheels.

Summer Simply Scrappin' Kit

These pictures were taken in Aruba when Stampin' Up! treated us to a week-long cruise last year.   Our cruise ship also went to the Bahamas, Panama Canal, and other fun places.    I love these pictures because my son's clothes matches the beautiful colors of the butterflies and most importantly the Simply Scrappin' Kit - Summer Days I used to create these pages.  Can you guess how I made the butterflies?  That's right!... I cut two of the petals from the diecut flowers and added the stems.  I also used the matted picture on the first page as a pocket for the extra pictures since I have no room for.

I'm so excited to share this with you because I designed and sketched my own scrap maps and created instruction sheets. Click here to   download the scrap_map_instruction_sheets_34.pdf.

These are also two of the pages that my students will make in our scrapbooking class this weekend.
