A Project for Grandma

This cute little scrapbook is one of the new projects featured on U-Stamp this summer. This album was designed by Jennifer Picard. Click here for her blog. Bestamor means Grandmother in Norwegian, and this book is for my Mom. It's full of pictures of her grandchildren. Her favouite colour is blue so I used Walk In The Park DSP which is now, unfortunately, retired.
Stamps: Contempo Alphabet, Smarty Pants, Wonderful Favourite. Ink: Going Grey, Basic Grey, Baja Breeze, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou. Paper: Walk in the Park DSP. Accessories: 1/2" Satin Ribbon, Hodgepodge Hardware, Baja Breeze Corduroy Brads.

More Pages...

So here are some more pages from Heather's birthday album. Again, I made the layouts on Smilebox, and then printed them out and mounted them on DSP. Most of the pictures in this post were taken when Heather and I went to Hawaii the first year I was teaching (OMG that's 17 years ago - wow does time fly)

Pages From Sakinaw Lake

So here are a few more pages from my mini scrapbook for Heather. These photos were taken about 8 years ago at her family cabin on Sakinaw Lake. The colours used in this album were Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, River Rock, and Lovely Lilac. The photo layouts were done on Smilebox.com They are sooooo easy to do. Basically you digitally insert your photos, add your own text, and voila! I printed them out in a 13x13cm or 10x10cm size. They fit on this chipboard book perfectly like this. I used tons of different coloured DSP and Tea Party DSP. The ribbons are from the new Sale-a-bration catty. The flowers are stickers from the dollar store. I also used some Nestabilities dies and my oval and corner rounder punches.

A gift for Heather

I made this album for my girlfriend Heather. It's her birthday today! Here's the cover. I used a chipboard book, and I inked the edges with Chocolate Chip Ink. I used chocolate chip and certainly celery DSP to cover the page. I used Nestabilities to cut the label, and used glitter stickers for Heather's name. The flowers are cut from Tea Party DSP. I inked the edges and curled them. Then I attached the rhinestone brad's and attached them to the cover with crystal effects. I used the jumbo eyelets and So Saffron ribbon (from SAB catalogue) to bind the book.
