My Scrapbooking Blog

Today’s stamp set of choice is D1407 Piece of Cake.  I got a the basic layout idea from this card on Pinterest and this is what I came up with:

Pin It

Supplies used: CTMH Piece of Cake stamp set, CTMH Spot-On Backgrounds stamp set (retired), papers from my scraps, Copic markers for coloring, CTMH Black and Pacifica inks, ribbon from my stash, Zig markers for doodling, CTMH Stardust Glitter Glitz, and Kaiser rhinestones.

I used the Spot On Backgrounds stamp set and Glitter Glitz to create the blue background paper so this is technically an all-cardstock card!

Supplies used: SEI Glitzmas paper, CTMH cardstock, CTMH Playful Flourishes stamp set, Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge by CTMH, CTMH Black ink, KI Memories Flourish Borders, Kaiser Rhinestones, CTMH Color-Ready Hodge Podge Alphabet Stickers, Martha Stewart Carrara Marble Glitter, and Recollections Glitter Shapes.

These sparkly pictures needed a page with lots of sparkle.  I think I added that.  I ordered the SEI paper online and for some reason only got one sheet and when I went back they were sold out.  It must have looked different on my computer screen because I love it in person and was wondering why I didn’t order 2 sheets.  I stamped the Pacifica blue cardstock with stamps from Playful Flourishes (one of my all-time favorite sets).  I used the new CTMH Ruler for lining up the rhinestones for an embellishment border.  I pictured glittery white letters for my title and really thought I’d find some in my stash but no such luck.  So I had to create my own.  I used a Zig Glue Pen to apply adhesive to the alphabet stickers, then covered with glitter and let dry.

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!

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.

Supplies used: My Mind’s Eye paper, Me & My Big Ideas specialty stickers, Close to My Heart Sparkles, and Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

I got these mini paint cans at the Target Dollar Spot and knew I would have a use for them.  The top one was used for a teacher’s gift.  The second can was part of a gift exchange for my daughter’s 5th grade girl gift.  We also made a journal which I will post in a couple days.  These are Christmas, but you can decorate them for any occasion.  All supplies are from my stash and I used the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge for my diecuts.  I also added a tag with ribbon to the handle of the can.
