Just Add Ink #124: Just Add Colour!

Hi!

Woot woot!  It's Friday again!  Is it your favourite day of the week too?  This week Just Add Ink are challenging you to create a project using the following yummy colour combination.

Isn't it just scrumptious!  I decided to make a card for a 2 year old boy as my children had been invited to a party.  Can't go past the I Dig You stamp set for a little boy!

And here's the inside of the card.  By all accounts the Birthday Boy loved it!

Does this colour combination inspire you?  It's a wonderful combo that works well for all kinds of cards.  Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Stamps: I Dig You
Ink: Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, Early Espresso
DSP/Cardstock: Just Add Cake DSP, Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Other: Big Shot, Simple Letters Numbers Die, Dimensionals

See you over at Just Add Ink!

Bye for now,

Layout 84: August

Hi!

Here's yet another of my monthly double layouts.  August is a busy month, as both Rob and I have our birthdays in August.  We also took a trip back home for a wedding and to see my family.  My wonderful family looked after the children for the weekend so that Rob and I could attend the wedding.

The kids also had Grandparent's Day at school and a few playdates.

I made this layout after I'd made a few boxes using the Petal Cone Die.  The flags around the title are some of the leftover pieces from the die cuts. I just wound some Baker's Twine around them and tied a bow.

Ink: Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write Marker

A Very Cute CASE

Hi!

In the papercraft world CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything.  I love that papercrafters are so willing to share their wonderful creations - there are so many blogs out there with inspirational creations!  Today's card is a CASE of a card I found one night while blog surfing and I was so inspired by the card I made two.  One was for Hudson's birthday and the second was for one of Hudson's little friends who was also celebrating a birthday.  You can see the original card over at Add Ink and Stamp.

Here is the card I made for Hudson:

A different angle!

And the matching card I made for his little mate.

Another look!

I stamped the insides of both cards the same.

Aren't they cute cards!

Just Eat Cake for Father's Day

Hi!

I promised a little while ago that I would show you the card I made for Rob for Father's Day.  I used the brand new Just Eat Cake DSP.  It is so bright and cheerful!

Rob's a bit of a Mario  fan, so I had to use the cute little mushrooms from the Funky Four Stamp set.

And the inside of the card had to be done as well.  Just a couple of left over pieces of the DSP and a stamp and it's finished!

Stamps: Funky Four, Well Scripted (retired)
Ink: Poppy Parade
DSP/Cardstock: Just Add Cake DSP, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Other: 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals

Catch you later,

Stamp A Memory September Challenge: Top Ten

Hi!

Today is the first Monday of September, which means it's time for another challenge at Stamp A Memory. This month the challenge is to scrap your Top Ten, which can be your top ten of anything.

Being on the Design Team I get these challenges quite a while in advance so that I can be well prepared when they roll around.  Do you think I could get organised this month? Sigh.  Maybe my layout should have been my Top 10 Organisational Hints.  But no, it's my Top 10 Reasons to Scrapbook.  Having said that though, do we really need 10 reasons to do it?  One will do - because we love to scrap!

I used the brand spankin' new DSP called Just Add Cake.  I love love love the paper, and the notebook design of this sheet was perfect for the look I was after.  I wanted a doodled, ripped out of a notebook look and I think I achieved it.  A bit like the Diary of A Whimpy Kid book covers.  You get the picture!

Here's a closer look at the top corner.  I ripped the corner off to add to the notebook feel, then rolled the edges and adhered a contrasting piece of DSP behind the section.  You can also see some of the doodles I did randomly over the page.

In case you can't read them, my 10 reasons (in no order) are:

• To record special family moments
• To record everyday family moments
• It's a great way to express your creativity
• People love getting albums as gifts
• You get to meet lots of other wonderful scrappers
• It's a great way to bond with your family
• You never stop learning
• You see colours and the world in a whole new way
• It's a great way to unwind after a busy day
• Because it's a hobby you can do in your pyjamas!

Yes, if you look closely I am wearing my scooter-riding reindeer flannelette pyjamas in the photo!
