Flowers or Spring Blog Hop

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the April Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop! This month the theme is Flowers or Spring. Thankfully the weather has changed and if finally feels like spring around here. I can't believe that just a little over a week ago we had snow in April, the ground was white. Today my daughter wore shorts to school and it was 5 degrees! Weather in Chicago-land.

For this month I choose to do Flowers. I got a new stamp set last weekend at the Stampin' Up! OnStage event, and I thought I would use it for my page this month. It is called To A Wild Rose. It is a really pretty 2 step stamp set with a big beautiful rose, leaves, and pretty sentiments. There is a great matching die set too. For this page, I focused on the big flower and leaves. The photos are from my grandmother's 100th Birthday party. She loved roses, so the set is perfect for her. She also loved pink and pearls. This page is pure grandma.

I started with a base of Sahara Sand, and added a strip of cut out flowers at the top and more at the bottom from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. I stamped Sahara Sand Flowers on the Sahara Sand background, and stamped more of the roses to cut out and add as accents on the page.

The Happy Birthday die is a nice size for scrapbook pages and so that it wouldn't get lost on the floral background, I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut with a new die collection called Nested Label Dies.

Lucky Me

Hi everyone. Today I have a scrapbook page to share. This is my daughter's 10th Birthday photos. She was born just before St. Patrick's day, (I did my best but she was determined to be early.) Jillian loves to decorate with Shamrocks and celebrate her Irish heritage. She happened to be wearing her shamrock dress on her birthday this year, so I went with that theme for her page.

I created the title with the Large Letter Dies, soon to be retired so grab them while you can! I also made a little subtitle with the letters stamped from the Brushwork Alphabet Stamps. These stamps are also retiring soon.

I made shamrocks with hearts from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.

I made a little pot of gold from Gold Foil sheets and circle punches. The Rainbow dies are currently on the Clearance Rack right now! They are great dies to have.

There are a lot of great items that are soon to be gone. Check out the list and see if there is any thing you may want to get while you can. The Large Letter dies are great to have for scrapbookers, as are so many other things on the Clearance Rack. And, right now, choose a FREE item from my Sale-a-Bration stash with a $50 order.

Card Sketch Challenge #4

Hi Everyone.
I have a new card sketch for you today. I am a day early to do Easter. I hope that you will take part in my card sketch challenges this month. This is the forth in a series. If you do participate, you will be entered into a drawing for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item. I have several left over Sale-a-Bration items. If you name is drawn I will let you take your pick. You can add your card to my Facebook page 'Beth's Paper Cuts Idea Sharing Group'. You can do past sketches and get caught up. You have until May 10th to make a card for all 4 sketches. Here is this weeks sketch.

This sketch has you using your scraps to make a pretty background for a card. I always have lots of thin scraps in my paper packs. I bet you do too.
Here is one of my cards made with this sketch.

I used paper from the Share What You Love paper pack. This is a beautiful paper pack with 24 sheets! The paper is a higher quality super smooth and a little thicker paper. I just love the rich colors and the painted style of the paper. It is retiring at the end of this Annual Catalog so get it while you can. I am also using a retiring Stamp set called Floral Frames, which I think is super pretty.
