Starting a Tradition | Traditional Scrapbook Page

this is a traditional page that i did this week of my dad and reagan at the County Fair. they are "starting a tradition" of riding the Merry-Go-Round each year, they have done it every year since 2009! 
i used the summertime collection from echo park for most of the layout, there is some creative memories and i think dcwv.

 i used the "life is good" & "life is celebration. life is right here and now." from two different Studio AE monthly stamp sets from technique tuesday. and the "snap shot" is from Heyday by Studio calico & hero arts. i LOVE all those stamps! i use them alot when scrapbooking!!

 i used "oh happy day" stamp set for the years and i stamped it in Eggplant elegance ink from Stampin' Up! and i used my big shot to cut out the tabs using this die from Paper Trey Ink. also use that alot when scrapbooking. 
 

 for all the die cuts i use country fair cricut cartridge to cut out different things that reagan loves to get at the fair. I love how overall bright and energetic the page is. it took several sketches to get it to look the way i wanted but patience won in the end because i LOVE this page!!!!

Workspace Wednesday: 07/11/12

Ok I realized that I didn't post my workspace picture for last week! So here it is.. Im working on alot of things, first of all starting on the left, I have my color coach out trying to come up with some new color combos to play with, right now I'm loving Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point (both from Stampin' Up!) and a lime. I don't have a good Lime color ink :( I was using Green Galore from Stampin' Up! but that pad is now dry (sniff sniff) and they don't have that color anymore. So I gotta find a new one! Next on the desk is the GYPSY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my gypsy, I can't do anything without it! the Rolodex is a project I'm working on using THIS stamp set from Paper Trey Ink to help me keep all thoughts in one place. I'm really loving it, when I'm working on a project and need a little something I just flip through whatever section I'm needing help with and I find what I need! Its just simply great! All the little white hearts you see are from this die from Stampin' Up!. The big notebook is out because I'm gonna enter a design team call!!! I've never done that before but I've wanted to. So I thought I'd give it a try, I gotta get a couple more pictures printed before I can submit it, I'm pretty excited about it all!! So that's my desk for last week. I'm working on different stuff this week so things will look different for the post tomorrow!

Cards for Teachers

This is the last week of school so I thought I'd put some Teacher cards together. This stamp set is from Papertrey Ink, the ink & paper is Stampin' Up!. The colors I used were, Whisper White, Basic Black, Lucky Limeade, Real Red, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso and Always Artichoke. I don't think we thank our teachers enough, they have a tough job, so to all the teachers out there... Thank You for all you do!!!
