My Stampin Space

I just recently cleaned and tried to organize all my stampin stuff.. I Think I have enough now :) LOL!! I still would like more shelves etc under my main counter top, but that will have to wait a while! I had to take pics, cause as anyone knows, a crafty room is NEVER clean!!

My hubby made me that nifty punch rack. I just LOVE IT!!

A couple more SAB ideas..

Here are some projects from my workshop this last weekend... First, this idea came from a SU publication, it was done similar in a 6X6 page layout. I adjusted it to a 12X12, and LOVE the result! This scrapbook page is easy and FAST.. It is 12X12 textured cardstock, the new SAB stamp set polkadot punches and coordinating 5 petal punch, and SAB saffron ribbon. The photo is framed in Choc. Chip, and I also cut a little stipe of choc chip, and celery cardstock too. The stamp set "Enjoy every moment" was used to stamp the sentiment in choc chip ink. Use the trio flower punch, add some brads, and fold up the edges and you have it made! In the day of digital photos, it is easy and fairly inexpensive to get your photos printed in bigger sizes. I used an 8X10 for this layout. I use Winkflash.com to order pics. They tend to have the best prices, and I love the paper they print on too. Try using 5X7's too.. Any change up in the sizes just adds more eye catching layouts!

This card is made using the Bigshot. I used the Top note die, and 2 different texture plates. Also notice I sponged around the flower edges.. This makes them stand out more.. I also bent the top layer of the flower out a little so it added more dimension. In the center is SU's new bigger brads, in the 5/16" size. It is neat how a few little steps can make a card "Pop"!

Scrapbook Pages~Kids

I am IN LOVE with several of the new scrapbook kits SU has in the current catalog.. The first two page layouts are done with the Sunshine Garden Kit. I LOVE that it is a BLUE & Flowers!



This Page is done with the Sweet Nothings scrapbook kit. I LOVE the very girly, yet bright fun colors of this kit.

In the first two pages, I used ONLY what came in the kit. The last one I used one piece of ribbon, the new scalloped edge punch, and I printed out the journaling on the computer. These layouts didn't take long at all, and turned out so cute! Of course, there are several stamp sets that coordinate with them however, so the possibilities are endless with the kits! They also make SUPER cute cards too!!

Here are a few cards I made using the new SAB stamp sets. This first one features the new textured background paper. This stuff is AWESOME!! I was very impressed with it.. The photos don't do it justice, but in person you will LOVE it too!! Also to the new bigger brads and felt flowers.

This card features the new sizzix textures background plates. SO fun and add another interesting eye catching element to the card.
