6x6 scrapbook page

I recently joined a 6x6 scrapbook page swap with some of my INKlings team-mates. I admit I struggle making 12x12 pages and since I don't print photos, I don't complete that many layouts. However I found the 6x6 page much easier to put together. Here is my page.

I used the Urban Garden dsp as my starting point and designed the page using not quite navy and kiwi kiss.

I background stamped the grass from the Inspired by Nature stamp set all over the not quite navy base with versamark ink, and used the outline alphabet stamp set to do my title. I cut around it and then mounted it with dimensionals. Here is a close up of the title.

I was really happy with my page and it came together really quickly. I think I might be going to make a lot more 6x6 scrapbook pages.

Next time, I have a swap card to share, so make sure you call back in a couple of days.

Keep on creating.

Welcome Baby Micah

My brother-in-law Andy and his partner Jade have welcomed another little boy into their family, a little brother for Joshua. This is the card I made for them.
I used the wash day wheel (which I borrowed off my good friend Kylie ages ago). I really like the simplicity of this wheel, and since I love colouring in, it was the obvious choice. I made the card base from brilliant blue card, and used some bashful blue with it. I stamped the baby's name with my jumbo outline stamp set and mounted it along the bottom of the card with dimensionals. I double stamped the overalls image and mounted it up on dimensionals too. Here is a close up.

I left the inside blank, just adding a strip of bashful blue cardstock along the bottom, and an all-in-one suit.

I was really happy with how the card turned out, and Jade and Andy loved it too.

Just a short post today as I have some first birthday invitations I am trying to get done. Hope you all have a fabulous day.

Til next time, keep on creating.

Happy Father's Day

Jessica being a mini-me and loving all things crafty decided she wanted to make Daddy a card for Father's Day all by herself. We had a look through my supplies and after much umming and aaahing she decided she wanted to use the All in the Family set, the jumbo outline alphabet, the striped paper from Washington Apple and pumpkin pie for the card base.



With everything picked out we set about our creating ... I was allowed to do the stamping only! Jess chose the heads and bodies for the people, which I stamped onto whisper white card with Stazon ink. I stamped the DAD and after trying really hard to cut the letters out nicely herself (she is only 5) she finally gave up and I was given that job too.


As soon as I was done stamping and cutting I was told "I can do it now Mummy". She sat for ages colouring the people in and sticking everything together. She is so proud of her card and Daddy was pretty impressed too.



Here's a list of the products we used. If you would like to purchase any Stampin' Up products, please email me.



Keep on creating.
