Super Friends Forever | scrapbook page

This is a layout I did this morning using "Candy Shop" from Creative Memories. 

Week 11 | Project Life

This is week 11 of my Project Life 2013 Album. Seems we've been busy enjoying life and so I'm little behind on this project, but working hard to get caught up. I've been a member of Studio Calico's Project Life Kit and I've LOVED it! It was my plan to just use those kits plus printables in my 2013 album. But once I seen Becky Higgins Honey Edition I knew I had to get it! So, I will start with the kit of the month and use what looks good with my pictures and content of that week. Then look through printables. Then jump over to the Honey Edition. Since Hobby Lobby is now carrying Becky Higgins brand (YAY!) I was able to use a 40% off coupon and get the Honey Edition Core Kit! and I LOVE it even more in person!!! The colors & style is just perfect for my pictures!
The page is Design F, I tend to use that one A LOT since you can put so many pictures on it. I've been shooting 99.999% on my iphone & I have a go-to filter on instagram (Lo-Fi). The camera on the iPhone S4 is really great & I love how handy it is to use.

STAMPS - the title card is 4x6 from Studio Calico and I stamped on it with a Sn@p Stamp Set, you can see more about that in this post. I also used some stamps from Hero Arts Branded with Studio Calico and Studio AE. For those that don't know, "Studio AE" is a stamp line designed by Ali Edwards. I'm part of a monthly club from Technique Tuesday so the new set just appears in my mailbox every month! Plus club members get a discount on the set! I use these stamps ALL THE TIME on my scrapbook pages! Here is the link to learn more about that.

WASHI TAPE - I LOVE washi tape! I used the black with white dots from the Smash line and the "today" on the bottom right card came in one of the Studio Calico kits. When in doubt . . . put some washi tape on it! :)

OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS - Ok, who doesn't LOVE wood veneers? I would guess if you don't you either don't have any or don't have enough. Get some hearts, cameras or potty people those seem to go with anything. And don't forget some adhesive. I normally use glossy accents but I'm almost out, so for this one I used a Zig two-way pen. I wasn't sure if it would hold but so far it has done brilliantly!

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: 062012

So I had a busy day yesterday so I didn't post my workspace photo for the week. I've been playing with some stamps from Hero Arts branded with Studio Calico and I LOVE them!!! Can't wait to use them with Project life & in my smash book! When I play with stamps I normally end up making cards, so I did a couple cards but then I just couldn't wait to use them on a scrapbook page. The stamps have more of a scrapbook feel than cutesy images for cards. I will post some of those projects soon. so lets start of the right side, I have  a couple stamp set out from Hero Arts I LOVE the polaroid stamp!!! I've stamped it several times on some white card stock so I can quickly add it to a card or scrapbook layout. under the scissors is a little flip book of layout sketches, the top one is the one I'm using to put together the 12x12 in the middle of my table. I'm using some paper from my stash that went well with her shirt in the picture. above the layout there is a pink bottle of glow in the dark nail polish, Reagan gave it to me (to keep it away from Abby Jo) to do her nails later that day. to the left there are more stamps sets that I'm playing with to see how I want to use them on this layout. I keep a piece of white copy paper close by to test colors of ink before I put them on a layout. Plus a couple cards stacked up there. And you can see the Little Spook Mini album is still on my desk! lol!
