It has been a very long time since I have last put together a scrap book page. It is only the second time that I have made a page using just card-stock and stamps. At first I found it to be a challenge but once I decided what it was I wanted to do it was so easy. As you can see I kept it very simple.
Stamps: Foursquare from the Kim Hughes collection. This set is now on sale at Cornish Heritage Farms.
Card-Stock: Intense Cobalt, Blush red Dark,Frosted Yellow and White Prismatic all from from Prism Papers.
Inks: Versafine
Embellishments: Ultrafine glitter, generated font from my computer for the banner and star buttons from Dress It Up Star buttons.
This stamp set is defiantly great for both card making as well as for scrap booking. I love the journal square that comes with this set of stamps. The star that I used to make the background of my page and the glittered stars above the picture of Molly were all made using the star that is also included in this stamp set. I simply stamped a star onto each piece of colored card-stock, ran them through my Xyron and then put glitter on them. How is that for an easy embellishment? :) I truly enjoyed making this scrap book page. By the way, Molly is my oldest granddaughter.
It has been a very long day for me. I went out in the freezing cold today. It was only 20 degrees. The wind was blowing quite a bit too. A definite Brr day. ;) While out I did stop off at Stamping Memories and chatted with Bette and of course I picked up a few new things that I will tell you about at another time. Tomorrow I have an appointment and we are expected to get snow yet again. I hope it does not start until I get home. Well I can hope anyway. :) It is 7 degrees right now. Wowzer!
I hope that all of you are keeping as warm as possible and that you had a wonderful Monday. Smile. :)
Strange, I went to a Creative Memories workshop tonight and come home to find you had done a scrapbook page as well. I was really impressed with a digital program they had, so of course I had to buy it :O) Thanks for sharing your page. I started a scrapbook 2 years ago and only have 4 pages done, awful eh? But I really do have good intentions. Our weather is about the same as yours, BURZZY I say. :o) Stay warm and drive safe tomorrow. You just might have to get the snow angel to do your driveway ha ha ha Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne
