This is our scrapclub layout for tonight.  I used the Sale a bration set Friendship Blooms to make this.  The journaling is hidden just behind the main photo (see the pull out tab?)  Since I had to stand above the layout to get the photo it has a weird sort of slant to it!  The photos are of my youngest in her school musical – she was so good!  (I’m allowed to be totally biased here!)  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Not What it’s Suppose to Be!

We did several Make and Takes at Leadership – and I couldn’t get it together!  The projects were great but my concentration was way off.  My kids had starting calling me the first night we arrived – at 3:30 in the morning (sorry Jill!) which was 7:30 their time – but still!  So I got this project almost finished and couldn’t stamp the title correctly!  It was suppose to say “family” using the darling new Taffy alphabet set – but what did I spell? 
“F-A-I-M-L-Y!” Geez! So I flipped the double sided paper over and tried again.  And I spelled “F-A-M-L-I-Y!”  Guess I wasn’t in the “family” mood!  I just decided that I needed to finish this one at home!



I don’t own the Taffy alphabet (yet!) so I used my Enjoy Every Moment and a build a brad with some of the left over paper from all my mistakes!  This picture is one of my favorites of my daughters and my nieces.  I think it turned out nicely – but it was a struggle to get there!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Pinch Proof

I’m baaacccckkkk!  We had fun – but boy, the traveling was tough!  When I got home, Samantha had cleaned the kitchen and baked cookies for my return!  There are so many great things going on with Stampin’ UP! We got a copy of the upcoming Spring mini – and it is sooo wonderful!  At the make and takes we played with lots of rub ons and some of the new striped ribbons!  Lots to share! 

So first I’m starting with something that didn’t make it to Leadership!  This layout…..sigh.  This uses the Lucky me jumbo wheel and Pinch Proof stamp set.  I rolled the right side of the 12 x 12 twice with the jumbo wheel in Old Olive ink on Old Olive card stock that was cut to 11 x 11.  Then I took a dinner plate and lightly drew a circle to the left side.  Wipe the entire page with an Embossing Buddy (really, do this step, I promise!) and stamped the solid clover in Versamark and cover in Gold Embossing powder. Heat Emboss.

The embellishment was made by stamping the Pinch Proof circle in Old Olive and then again in Versamark and heat embossed Gold Embossing powder and punching each section out and layering on an Old Olive scallop.  Then I layered the entire thing onto a circle cut out Brushed Gold card stock with the Coluzzle.

The two strips of DSP are little pieces of Bali Breeze and the entire page and photos are mounted on Pumpkin Pie card stock.  And doesn’t the entire page just speak of brotherly/sisterly LOVE!



But this one “made the board!” It’s a bag and tag for a wine bottle (green wine?) using the same sets.  To make the bag I took apart a wine bag and copied the pattern onto the plain SU wrapping paper and wheeled it before I scored and folded it.  You need to set it aside and let it dry for a few minutes before you start folding it or it will smear.  The tag is the Pinch Proof set with the leprechaun stamped in Old Olive and the sentiment done with Old Olive and Always Artichoke Stampin; Write Markers.  The clovers were embossed in gold, cut out and popped up. The ribbon is Old Olive grosgrain and it wraps around the entire package.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

This is a 12 x 12 layout that I did for the displays here at Leadership – and I just saw it hanging on a display board!  I felt practically famous!  This layout is done with the new Bali Breeze DSP – each layer matted in Basic Black.  The “amazing” is from Pretty Amazing and “family” is from Fundamental Phrases.  (and the photo is my kids at Thanksgiving!) 

So we’re here and it’s beautiful – the weather is perfect.  Make and Takes are today and classes begin tomorrow.  Lots of swapping going on and lots of shopping!  What could be better?  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
