I have two creations for you today.
 
The first is a layout using the "Bottom Border" pattern from the CTMH scrapbooking book "Reflections".  I used the flower stamp from the Jubilations set to create a border along the bottom of my layout.  I stamped the flower multiple times in several different colours.  I then cut out each individual flower and attached them to the layout using brads.  I love creating my own custom embellishments for my scrapbook pages using stamped images!
 

 
Materials Used (all CTMH):
Patterned paper from the Felicity kit (retired)
Jubilations stamp set (June 2011 Stamp of the Month)
Eclectic Alphabet - Embossed Chipboard
Chocolate Brads
Blush Ric Rac
Blush Photo Corners (retired)
Ink: Blush, Sweet Leaf, Bamboo, Spring Iris
Cardstock: Colonial White, Chocolate
 
My second creation is also a layout.  This one is the "Sidebar- Journalling" pattern from Reflections (rotated 90 degrees).  On this layout - I stamped the sunshine stamp from the Jubilation stamp set directly onto the large Canvas buttons to add as an accent to my layout title.    I love how these buttons 'finish' off this very simple layout. 

Materials Used (all CTMH):
Moon Doggie Level 1 Scrapbooking kit (retired)
Jubilation stamp set (June 2011 stamp of the month)

I have two creations for you today!
 
The first is a layout I did of my son & my husband on our recent trip to Maui.  I used the Stamp of the Month as part of my title and also as a 'photo corner' accent on the photos.  I used this week's sketch at Pencil Lines for the inspiration for my layout. 

(sorry about the 'scrap cardstock editing' . . . I haven't figured out how to 'blur' photos in my editing software and I don't like posting current photos of my kids on the internet . . .)

My second project is a fun little Father's Day card.  The card features an origami shirt fold.  (There are great instructions to the folding technique on Beth's Blog).  I used the Stamp of the Month on both the front and the inside of the card.  I used dry embossing on this card to create a 'frame' around my central image.  I also did lots of sanding, as well as ink distressing on this card to give it a really 'rough', masculine feel.

CTMH Moon Doggie Paparazzi Layout

I have started scrapping my 600+ photos from our recent trip to Maui!  Here's one of the layouts I put together last night. 
I used Sunday's sketch from Scrap Tiffany on this layout.  The challenge at Frosted Designs this week is to use sanding - which I did on the textured cardstock that I used under my photos.    The challenge at Practical Scrappers this week is to use punches - - I pulled out my oval punches to create two of the little journalling spots. 
Fun layout, don't you think?  Looking at these pictures makes me smile!! We had such a great time!!  Can't wait to go back!
