Scrapbookin’ On Sunday

This week I would like to share with you a couple of layouts that we did last week at Scrapbook Club using Stampin' Up!s Kaleidoscope designer series paper. This first layout is again of the Happy Couple, I used a black and white photo as it showed off the colourful confetti I made using the circle from the Itty Bitty Shape Pack. And on this second layout I decided I wanted to use the black and white sides of the papers. I've mounted the photo on the lovely Silver Gimmer paper. The...

Swallowtail Friend Card

I finally got round to playing with my Swallowtail stamp. Here is an arty-farty photo that I took showing that I had attached it 3D to the base of my card. And here is a better view, although still at an angle.  I stamped the image in versa mark before embossing it with Black Powder, then coloured it in using Stampin' Write Marker pens. Next I'm going to try it with the re inker technique I think. Happy Craftin'  Sue

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday

Today's Scrapbookin' On Sunday's post is a little later than usual the reason being I wanted to make sure that the recipients surprise wasn't ruined. The happy couple Nigel and Julia got married last year and I made this scrapbook page and framed it for their anniversary. Although the papers were from a kit that I've had lying around for several years, I've used Stampin' Up!s punches and retired paper flowers on the layout. It seemed really funny working on a 9x9 page but I'm really please...
