Scrapbooking Global - Feb 16 - Travel Blog Hop

 

 

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! February 16, 2023 Blog Hop.
 This months theme is Travel and Sharni Haines is our Creative Design Team Member
who chose this theme. I am so excited to see the Travel Scrapbooking Layouts from
everyone who is participating this month.

Thank you to those of you who come back month after month,
we are Thankful that you keep creating AMAZING layouts for our themes.
If you would LOVE to join the FUN,
simply join Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! FB group
where there is so much inspiration for any theme.
If you don't have a Blog that is OK too, you can still create a layout
and you can simply add them to the Album on the FB page.

My layout is very late, NO EXCUSES just didn't get it finished on time.
Still can't think of a Title, Here is the Sub Title.

I created a Double Layout with Paper products and Memories & More Cards
from both the Annual Catty and our Current Jan - Apr Mini Catty.
We have so many AMAZING products that co-ordinate with other products in our range.

I knew that I wanted to use the wheel tracks/chequer plate on the DSP
from Ready to Ride 12 x 12 as the main feature.
You see we were traveling half way around Australia to meet our 1st Grand Daughter.
Our trip took us through 4 States in Australia and we travelled over 5,000
klms to get to finally meet her in Margaret River.
We travelled a grand total of over 11,400 klms round trip.

Also using He's The Man 12 x 12 DSP and die-cut elements
and Vellum 12 x 12 Layering Designs.
These all featured throughout the layout and suited our Travel theme PERFECTLY!!!

I used an old sketch page map to create the design of the layout from one of the first
scrapbooking books I ever purchased way back in my early days.
I find that they help me create if I am struggling without a design plan.

As you can see on this LHS layout page I have left room for journalling on
Sahara Sand piece of DSP under that Mint Macaron arrow and
Hope Your Day Is A Grand Adventure are from the
die-cut elements in the He's The Man DSP.

The MON - SUN above the photos comes from our Memories & More Card Pack
Today Is The Day, which I have just cut up and used on the layout.

AND the side panel uses the Map Vellum 12 x 12 Layering Designs,
I will add an appropriate Title here once I have a bit more of a think.

I have included 5 photos in a waterfall feature on this layout,
you can only partially see the photos from this angle of the page.
I wanted to add quite a few photos to this layout,
that mean a lot to me BUT not to the general public.
On the back of the photograph I have a piece of black cardstock
so that you can lift them to see each photo.

I used the Clear Medium Envelopes on pg 137 as protectors for my photographs.

 

On The RHS I have got 1 large photo and 1 small photo.
This for me is about teaching me about perspective,
to focus on the bigger picture and not to focus on the minor setbacks.

You see we had a breakdown on our way across to Western Australia.
Which made me very upset as all I wanted to do was meet Eloise.
So an extra 2 days sitting waiting for the part to arrive to fix our ute
made me appreciate the time that we had together as a couple at our
current location...Penong, South Australia. Which was AMAZING

 Finally we got our Ute fixed and off we set off across The Nullabor,
BUT those photos will be in another Scrapbooking layout.
Here is the almost completed layout, just need some help with the Title.

This lil tab with the chequer plate is a pull out calendar
to remind me of where we were during those 7 days of travel
from Gogango, Queensland to Margaret River, Western Australia.

 

 

I hope that you liked my layout, even though it is not complete.
Just a few more items to be added and it will be finished.

Thank you for joining us on the Travel Blog Hop.

Scrapbooking Global - Dec 15, 2022 - Non Traditional Christmas - 2022-2024 In Colors

 

 Sneak Peak

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global December 15 Blog Hop - Non Traditional
2022-2024 In Color.

 

 You may have joined me from Courtenay's Blog  OR started the hop with me.

I had the honour of picking this month's challenge.
Non Traditional Christmas Layout with 2022-2024 In Colors.

 I have been using the In-Colors a lot over the last couple of months 

so I knew I would LOVE creating with them on a scrapbook layout.
Thanks to those of you who joined us throughout 2022.

 

  I concentrated on the InColors and all the Co-ordinating products from the Annual Catalogue and Holiday Mini.  Focusing on The Spruced up Bundle and Celebrate Everything Host DSP which you can receive for FREE with your Stampin Up rewards.

All I can say is mine is very bright.

 

 

I used a combination of our tradional Classic Stampin' Pads in the 2022-2024 InColors
as well as our Stampin' Blends which are alcohol markers and
they allow you to colour and blend different colours together. 
Although I didn't need to do that with them on this layout.
 

 

This layout I also used all the matching cardstock and glimmer papers to create 
all the trees and presents on the layout.
The trees were stamped in Parakeet Party and Starry Sky and then diecut with
the co-ordinating dies which cut the image as well as the outside edge.
So to get this look of the outline of the trees, I used cardstock and the trees themselves
were our stamped images. 

I am also giving you a sneak peak of some new products from the upcoming Mini.
These large letters are called Alphabet A La Mode, I am so in LOVE with the size of them.

 I am travelling with limited service so will finish my post when I next have service.
I truly apologise that it has taken me so long to get back to finish my blogpost BUT
I do have a perfect excuse...I became a Grammie for the first time on the 10th of December.

Here is a lil sneak peak of Eloise

Up NEXT is the very talented Julia Quinn

Scrapbooking Global - Nov 17 Blog Hop - Scrapbooking Your Way

 

 

 

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global November Blog Hop
This month we the design team went with the easy option,
due to the fact that we were all attending OnStage.

Our theme this month was Scrapbooking Your Way,
here is my Sneak Peak

 

Well as you can see from my sneak peak that I have created a Mini Album

with the Happy Forest Friends 12 x 12 DSP pack of papers.
I am with my Daughter in Margaret River, Western Australia
she is almost 34 weeks pregnant so I think this is a very appropriate with 
the imminent arrival of my first Grandchild. She already knows that she is having
a Daughter so it is all very exciting times ahead of us all.


I had all intentions of creating a Scrapbook layout
BUT I came down with Covid after OnStage.
So I thought this was easier, just adding layers of paper and fussy cutting.
Fussy cutting is so relaxing and not very taxing on my brain.

I created the book part of the mini album from the backing sheet of cardstock
which comes with your DSP...
I just decided to cut it to 10 3/8" x 5 1/4"  and scored at 5 1/8"
and then created the pages after that and then just started decorating it....

So many fussy cutting options from this DSP...So many cute characters.
Bears, Owls, Foxes and little birds and butterflies.
Don't you agree??? Not much else to tell you.
Enjoy the journey through the Mini Album

 

Scrapbooking My Way was showing off the Beautiful DSP that Stampin' Up! created for us to design our very own version of their initial design.  I think that considering I am recovering from Covid I think I did an OK version of the brief.

Scrapbooking Global Oct 20, 2022 Blog Hop - Geometric Shapes

 

 

 

 

 Welcome to October 20, 2022 Blog Hop, you have joined me Shaz from Studio Shabaz
BUT you may have followed Linda Dalke to my blog

 

This month we have a cool theme chosen by Maï Lavidalie.
Our theme for today's Blog Hop is Geometric Shapes.

Maï actually was surprised that she had chosen this theme
as we pick them months in advance and she had forgotten.
I told her that it would be a challenge for me too <3

If you click on Maï's photo this will take you directly to her layout.

 My starting point was the square stamp from
Watercolour Shapes which I stamped in Mint Macaron.
I rotated the stamp after inking it each time to add a border to both sides of my layout,
so that I didn't get the design in the same direction every time I stamped.

I chose to use Santa Express Memories & More Card pack from our Jul-Dec 2022 catalogue.
I wanted to solely use these cards to create a layout, as I had some left over from a class.
BUT I needed other pieces to finish the layout. 

 Once I started added bits and pieces from Santa Express DSP and the matching Santa's Train Dies to create the mini wreath seen in the photo below.

Also featured on pg 16 and 17 of the July-Dec 2022 Mini catalogue
is this delightful Charming Landscapes Embossing Folders.
I embossed on Basic White to lay behind Mrs & Mr Claus as they were skating on ice

I also featured a returning favourite from last year's Christmas Mini,
Wonderful Snowflakes which are iridescent in colour. 

 

 Here is the finished layout, not much stamping on this layout.
BUT I really wanted to showcase the Memories and More Card pack.
You get 54 Double sided cards 3"x 4" and 4"x 6" cards
2 Sticker Sheets, 4 Acetate overlays and 2 laser cut sheets with
a variety of words that you can colour with your Stampin' Blends.
I used Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends on the Merry Christmas words.

 

 Up next is Jill Hamlett,
Jill was super organised this month as she is away on vacation today...
So she scheduled early and created a layout to suit the theme.
Unlike me who is doing it the day before....

Pinterest inspiration for my layout.

OK, onto my layout....Well I started out with Sketch, Tag & Twine.
LOL, laugh out loud because I tore my hair out this morning trying to get that line to work.
SOOOOO, I went with Tag, 3 or more Photos and Embossing.
I have a very strong disclaimer here, if you didn't already know
It's a Girl layout and LOADS of pink.

I created a Banner for the Baby Gender reveal while I was in WA in July
So I used most of the pieces off the banner to create this layout.

Like I said earlier, I used most of the pieces from the Pink & Blue banner
that I created for the Gender Reveal of our first grandchild.
I was hoping that the baby was going to be a little girl and after much waiting
it was announced that we were going to grandparents to a lil girl baby.

I used Melon Mambo cardstock for the Banners stamped with retired baby stamps.
Basic White for the Tags on the banners, inside the tags I have left for journalling . 
Firstly I cut the tags and then ran them through Dotty Heart Mini embossing folders.
Stamped all the elephants from Elephant Parade Cling Stamp set.
I used some NON SU cardstock for the grass, balloon and mouse & peanuts.
I stamped the Made with Love banners from Celebrate with Tags Cling Stamp set. 

Under the Melon Mambo Banners I put 2 of photos of Lil Miss E from her 20 week scan.
She is going to be a little thumb sucker like her Mummy, she was sucking her thumb
and waving hello to her Mum and Dad while the scan was being done.

I used so many new products from the Annual &  June-Dec Mini catalogue on this layout...
I decided to use Celebrate with Tags Heart stamp on the pink and white floral background which can be found in the Awash In Beauty DSP pack.
The other DSP is from the Hostess pack you can earn in the Annual catalogue.
It can be found on page and it is called Design A Daydream DSP....
Lots of designs to choose from, I needed something with Petal Pink to tie in with the balloon.
I used both of the Dotty Heart Mini embossing folders on this layout.
I used the same one as I did for the photo mats as I did for the Melon Mambo hearts
that are scattered around on the layout. The Die-cut Hearts are from Celebrations Tags dies.
You might not be able to see them BUT there are very cute Heart Pearls scattered over the page which come in Milky White, Glossy White and  Pearl White and 2 sizes.
The Ribbon Bows at the end of the banners are the gorgeous Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

 

Here is the FULL layout
