A couple of scrapbook pages

Here are a couple of layouts for the boy's albums. I thought I should post a couple of layouts since I've put only cards up so far. Both of these layouts were done using sketch challenges from

a online scrapbooking group I belong to.

In both layouts I used the new Building Blocks alphabet set and the Star Struck set which is great for these boy pages.

Remaining Card Class options

Here are the remaining 6 cards which you can create at the upcoming Card Class. These 6 cards are also available in the form of a kit, where you are provided with all materials and pre-stamped images.

Card#1

This card uses the Silhoutte creative basics paper pack and coordinating ribbon . It is then embellished with a paper flower and large black brad.

Card #2: This card uses the same paper pack along with some sheer white ribbon to create a classic little black dress.

Card #3

This uses the new Whoops-A-Daisy paper pack to create a bright fun card. The Friendship word puzzle and floral stamp set is used to embellish it.

Card #4: The background of this card is created by using the random stamp method. You can change the look by using other stamps or different colors. It is then embellished with a paper flower folded in half and secured with a large brad. A small piece of ribbon is used on the paper stem. If purchased as a kit, this card will use the Silhoutte paper pack, rather than the random stamped background.

Card #5:

Single panel card with the message hidden behind a circle attached with a brad. The outer circle is adorned

with two stamped & cut out flowers and a little hanging tag.

Card #6:

This card also uses the Whoops-A-Daisy paper pack, along with some Ric Rac & playful petals stamp set to embellish the card.

Gift Card Holder

This is the little gift card holder we will be making at the May Card Class. I've used the new Whoops-A-Daisy paper pack and a chipboard flower and ribbon to adorn the front. I've decorated with the Friendship Word Puzzle stamp set. If you would rather create a more masculine version of this, that is also an option.

Here are a few of the cards for the May Card Workshop. These are not available in the kit as I feel there were either too many instructions or too much stamping required.

I used the Friendship Word Puzzle stamp set for this card, but it could easily changed by using a different set. The colors are cocoa, sweet leaf, twilight & crystal blue.

The card is then embellished with some ribbon and a photo hanger.

This one uses the May Stamp of the Month (SOTM) 'Say It In Style'. This example uses honey, cocoa & twilight, but you will have an option of more feminine colors if you like also.

The card is then embellished with a ribbon and an edge anchor.

For this initial card I did a lot of random stamping using the Star Struck Stamp set. The letter 'T' could be changed to a 'G' for a graduation card, or 'F' for a friendship card, or use the recipient's initial to personalize it. The colors could be changed to make the card more feminine if you'd like. The sentiments added are also from the May SOTM.

The card has a chipboard layer under the initial to give it a great 3-D effect.

Fun purse card

A fun, unique shaped card. I used a 5x7 card base, the Silhoutte creative basics pack from the spring catalogue, large "big pinks" flower, a little coordinating ribbon and lastly a red sparkle to finish it off.

Summer catalogues

I can't believe I forgot to mention in my newsletter that the new summer catalogues are available. Please contact me for a sneak peek!!
