Last month I shared several scrapbooking projects for National Scrapbooking Month. I had challenged you to pull out your stamps, paper and inks and get some scrapbook pages made. I challenged myself as well! This 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook page is the direct result of that challenge!
I had been doing some sorting last month and came across a packet of pictures from more than 19 years ago. They inspired me to create several pages... one of which is this one. I admit that I have used a retired Designer Series Paper (Bali Breeze which retired a year ago), but you can easily substitute one of the blue papers from Pink Flamingo (pg.160). Other products used are:
Stamp Sets: Seeing Spots (pg.108 - retiring soon!)
Card Stock: Kiwi Kiss (retiring soon!), Tempting Turquoise
Accessories: A Prefect Day RubOns (pg.173 - retiring soon!), Scallop Edge Punch (pg.184-185), Scallop Circle Punch (pg.184-185), Trio Flower Punch (pg.184-185), 1 3/8" Circle Punch (pg.184-185), Brads, Big Shot Stampin' Up! Exclusive Billboard Decorative Strip Die (pg.198), Big Shot Die Cut Machine (pg.193)
While creating this page... and the others in the "series"... I realized how many of the relatives in the pictures are no longer with us. (That's my Mom in the straw hat and sun glasses!) It saddened me to realize that it took this long for me to get the pictures out where I could appreciate them more easily... and more often. It has also challenged me to set aside at least one day a week to get more of my years of photos out of the envelopes and into scrapbooks... NOW! I hope that you will do the same.
Happy Stamping~
