Scrapbook pages

I've been working on getting back into scrapbooking lately. When I got into cardmaking I just kinda forgot about scrapbooking, so I guess it's probably been about 2 years since I've done it.

Sorry, the pictures are horrible. I wasn't having much luck photographing these.

These first two pages were my 21st birthday party a few years ago. -Stamps-One of a Kind, Boho Backgrounds & So Many Sayings
-Ink-Pretty in Pink, Purely Pomegranate and Chocolate Chip.
-Paper-Chocolate Chip carstock and Berry Bliss DSP.
-Accessories-Pretty in Pink taffeta, Boho Blossoms punch, and glue dots.
(the title was printed on the computer)

This is my grandparents on vacation.
-Stamps-Artfully Asian, Embrace life, and Boho Backgrounds
-Ink-Versamark and always artichoke
-Paper-Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy and Mellow Moss.

SC159

Man, I am so in love with my new stamp sets! I haven't had so many ideas running through my head in a while =). I made this card for sketch challenge 159 on SCS. I really love this layout. It's so simple, but there are so many possibilities. The card looks better in person though. I couldn't get a good picture of it. Probably because I have really crappy lighting in here. Sorry about the horrible shadow in the background.
Isn't the Berry Bliss DSP gorgeous?! I've always been a huge fan of pink and brown together so I was really happy to get my hands on this paper =).


I punched the scallop circle twice to get the pointy edges. The edges were lightly sponged with pretty in pink ink then I layered that on a regular punched scallop, just offset a little bit. The pretty in pink circle was punched with the the circle punch and has pop dots underneath. It looks crooked in the picture though. I think I just took it from a bad angle.

-Stamps-One of a Kind, True Friend, Boho Backgrounds and Priceless

Stitched Exotics

This card came out totally different that how it started. I actually stared doing some of the challenges on SCS. I was doing one of the past color challenges that was supposed to be Real Red, Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise. I was also trying to do the most recent sketch challenge, but I just got way off track =).
I used the black rub-ons in the centers of the flowers. The word friend is also a rub-on. I think I'm going to be needing a lot more rub-ons. I like them a whole lot more than I thought I would.
All three of the flowers are cut out, and the one in the center is popped up with pop dots.
-Stamps-Stitched Exotics and Priceless
-Paper-Basic Black, Apricot Appeal and Whisper White
-Ink-Real Red, Certainly Celery and Black Stazon
-Accessories-Black ribbon, Urban West Rub-ons, pop dots

I'm lovin' the new Rub-ons!!

This card was a CASE from page 108 in the new catalog, I just made a few changes to it. I absolutely love the new Rub-ons! The one of a kind sentiment, the flower and flourish at the bottom and the white circles on the scallops are all rub-ons. I also love the new mono multi glue from the new catalog. That stuff is great! -Stamps-One of a Kind, Priceless
