Yay!! A scrapbook page!! It has been way too long since I posted a scrapbook page. Way too long since I posted in general, but even longer for a scrapbook page. Some of you know that I joined Stampin' Up! because I love scrapbooking. When I was much younger with only one child, my husband was sent to Iraq as the Corpsman for a Marine Sniper Unit. I wanted to scrapbook all the things our little guy was doing while Ben was away. Way back then, Stampin' Up! used to sell "Simply Scrappin' Kits", who remembers those? I loved them. They had papers and coordinating sticker sheets to create beautiful pages. They stopped selling them many years ago. Since the scrapbooking company Close To My Heart closed down, many of their employees have come to work for Stampin' Up! and many of their Demonstrators too! So, YAY ME!! More Scrapbooking products!! Hopefully Yay You too!!
This page is part of a monthly challenge with a Facebook Page I am part of called Scrapbooking Global-Stampin' Up! You can find lots of scrapbook inspiration there! I hope you will join me there!
This month's challenge is a Sketch Challenge brought to us by Julia Quinn.
Here is the sketch. You can join us at the Facebook group and add a page that you made with this sketch, we would LOVE to see it!!
And here is my page again. I used the new Everyday Happiness papers for my page.
I also used the coordinating Everyday Happiness stamp set. Stampin' Up! has several new papers and stamps designed to work great for Scrapbooking titles. You can see the new line up at the Online store, look at the Memory Keeping section.
I also used some additional stamps, such as the new Elements of Text stamp set for the background. I keep a little basket of left over die cuts on my desk, and these little trees and birds were in that basket. The birds are from the Frosted Forest Dies and the tiny tree line are from Encircled in Nature.
The Everyday Happiness papers have my favorite color, Lost Lagoon! Pretty Peacock is a very close second and I also really like Wild Wheat, so this paper was a must for me.
You can also get this paper as part of a scrapbooking kit! The kit makes 3 double page spreads complete with a cutting guide and how to photos to make it effortless. Take a look at all the pre-planned kits here.
I hope you like the page! And that you will give the sketch a try. Follow along to see what the others have created with the sketch!
