Happy N S D

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!

(Sorry for the protector glare, I could not get the pages to stand alone.)

 

Here is a two page spread idea for your 8 X 8 book (or adaptable of course!!).

Pocket pages, I wish I could remember were I saw the inspiration for this post, but can not find it, sorry!!  I have never seen or tried pocket pages.

Check out this picture... You can pull out the Photo holders, 

and it would be a good place to hold treasures too.

Flower punch outs to help balance... Layer your paper, you could even use patterned paper here that matches. 

And a little bling-ish, to draw attention to your third photo.

Have a Great National Scrapbooking Day everyone!!

Hope you are getting crafty today!

March '12

I was surfing my usual hang outs on the web and on the Operation Write Home Facebook page someone was needing a new challenge.  Someone posted a 3 - 3 - 3 challenge

3 different pattern papers, 3 different embellishments, 3 different ribbons.

All on the same card!

Hummm, I can do that, this is what I came up with.... Just in time for Stamp Camp. 

Here are your 3 ribbons... and 1 of the embellishments.

Here are the other two embellishments, I hope you can make out the Dazzling Details on the butterfly, leaves and the center of the main flower.  Small pearls for the center of the smaller flowers.  

What a great way to step out of your comfort zone!! 

Have a Great Day getting Crafty!!
