I hope you have enjoyed the blog hops that I’ve posted over the past couple days.  Now on to the second in my series of Stamp Sundays.  My daughter chose the Aspire Stamp Set for me this week.  It was a great selection because I bought this specificaly to do some of her dance pictures and yet the stamp set went in my stash and the pictures have yet to be scrapped.  So now is the time!

Pin It

Supplies used: Bo Bunny Midnight Frost Collection Pack, CTMH Aspire Stamp Set, CTMH Pacifica ink, KI Memories flourish borders, CTMH Designer Brads – Rhinestone, and Bling Assortment.  Sketch from Sketches for Scrapbooking Volume 8.

I just love scrapbooking dance pictures!  A friend and I decided to set up a backdrop and take our own dance pictures.  I’m not the best photographer but I know my children and the traditional pictures seem so posed.  I like pictures that capture their personalities so I’ve decided I’m the best person for this.  I love these pictures so much that I have put off scrapbooking them.  I think the layout turned out nice and my daughter will be happy to see the finished product of her choice of stamp.

This card may have turned out even better than planned.  I really like it but I wanted to do the stitching in white.  The only white thread I had was too thick to fit through the needle on my machine so this was my next choice.  Funny thing is this is the only time I ever sew!  The one exception would be girl scout patches and last year I found it easier to hot glue them on.  It was the only thing I found to work and I tried everything!  Anyway, back to my card…I used my glitter mist again (fun!), just for the letter K.  The butterflies came with glitter on them already.  I also folded the wings of the butterflies for an even more 3D look which really adds to the card.  They were easy to fold once I attached the pearls.

Products used: Making Memories paper, Bo Bunny paper, Basic Grey Opaline pearls, Basic Grey chipboard monogram letter, Tattered Angels Pink Bubblegum glitter mist, and Making Memories glitter butterflies.

This time it’s a baby card made from my stash.  The only thing I can tell you is that the vellum “It’s a Girl” sticker is Bo Bunny.  I’m happier with this one but that could be because it’s pink.  I used my CTMH Distressing tool to rough up the edges of the white square in the center.
