Scrap Booking….

Published on November 16, 2011June 9, 2014 by Vicky Wright1 Comment

I am trying very hard to get back into my scrapbooking. It has been so long, but having my photos all over the place does not help. So with a bit of luck, I will be able to sort them out while scrapping my photos.

First up are 2 lovely photos of my nieces which were taken early on in the year. These are such lovely photos, that it was the perfect opportunity to begin with Amber & Dannielle. Belive it or not, but they are identical twins, hence the title of the pages. People who have known them all their lives are still unable to tell them apart. I have to guess which one they are talking about by the stories they relay to me.

Besides doing the 12 x 12 pages, I like to create albums using A4 pages. Sometimes, I find them a little more easier to handle & seem to fit more in an album than the standard 12 x 12 album. Fingers crossed SU! will bring out an album to fit A4 pages.

I didn’t want to do the usual beach theme, so I decided to go with the colours in their dresses. I printed the title onto a piece of Textured Whisper White using the colours in their dresses & adhered to the page with Chystal Effects. I did pour Crystal Effects over each letter to make it stand out a little.

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Vintage Vogue, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink – Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Basic Black
Cardstock – Textured – Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise
DSP – Island Oasis (Retired)
Ribbon – 5/8″ Organza – White, Hemp Twine
Punches – Tiny Tags, Scallop Edge
Accessories – Crystal Effects, Snail Adhesive, SU Dimensionals

Until next time, Enjoy!

For a card which started out as a bit of an idea in my head, it turned into a very complicated one. After colouring, ripping, tearing, stamping, then stamping, colouring, inking, embossing I think I am happy with the final result but….

The card was created from the challenge over at Stamping 411 and you know wthat that means – All measurements have been done for you.

Here’s some possible measurements to get you started:

1.Layer One – Card Base cut at 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded

2.Layer Two – 4 x 5.25”

3.Layer Three – Die Cut or other Shape – approximately 3.5”

4.Layer Four – 3.25”

5.Layer Five – 3”

I cut my 2nd layer using Whisper White Cardstock, stamped using my SU Wheel & Basic Grey Ink. It has been so long since I have used a Wheel that I quiet enjoyed it again & must remember to use them more often. I randomly coloured the image using my Aqua Painter & Pink Pirouette Ink. I wasn’t too concerned about going out of the lines or how I coloured it as I think it looks a little better this way. This was adhered to my base card – Pink Pirouette Cardstock.

I cut my 3rd layer using Pink Pirouette Cardstock but didn’t do a border as it looked a little too much when I did, so I skipped it. I do hope the operators will forgive me for this. I then stamped the flower images using Basic Grey & Pink Pirouette Inks stamping randomly over Whisper White Cardstock. This piece was run through my Bigshot using Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots. I adhered this to a piece of Basic Grey, adhered to the Pink Pirouette, added a piece of Satin Ribbon, tied a bow & then adhered to the base card. I applied Basic Pearls to the middle of the flowers.

Now you ask how could this take me hours to create & finish, but believe me it did! I nearly gave in a number of times, but wouldn’t let it get the better of me. This is for a special 50th Birthday. I know it has no greeting, etc but I like them to be blank sometimes, especially for such a special occasion!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Vintage Vogue

Ink – Basic Grey, Pink Pirouette

Cardstock – Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey Whisper White

Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots

Ribbon – 5/8″ Satin Pretty in Pink

Wheel – Very Vintage

Now, I must go & do what I am supposed to be doing – printing & creating invitations!

Until next time, Enjoy!

G’day Stampers,

Being a couple of days since my last entry, thought I would share a small project I am currently working on. This will not be finished ’til later on 2-nite! I am yet to decide how & what I am going to make to store the cards. Something simple & quick, as were the cards, but yet something which will suit the style of the cards!

I want to highlight the use of the great “Wheels” Stampin’ Up!® have!
