My friend Jess and I decided to stamp in the new year last night. We live far apart so we picked a time to meet online and then stamped and chatted. Kristina Werner’s Color Challenge for this week was one of our inspirations.
I’m typically a card maker, but this Saturday I’m taking my friend’s daughters to go see Disney on Ice. Since there is so much pink in this challenge, I thought it would make a great scrapbook page for our girls outing!
This was my scrapbook page for my first layout of GotSketch102. The idea is to use 3 vertical 4×6 photos with coordinating papers/accents. I decided to scrap my trip to the Mystery Spot last summer. I settled on the idea of using spots throughout, so I dug deep into my stack of retired paper for my remaining sheets of Dashing (retired). I then coordinated with So Saffron card stock and retired pattern paper.
I’m a card maker, so I don’t have a ton of stamps/accessories to use for scrapbooking, so I had to make stuff up. I took Very Vanilla card stock and punched holes in it with the Crop-A-Dile for the borders on the top and bottom. I used my Coluzzle to cut out circles and ovals for my titles and journaling. Then I used my black Stampin’ Write marker and made black circles on the black card stock. I had a non-SU! embellishment that I traced onto So Saffron and cut out for the label on the bottom.
Although it is kind of rough around the edges, I’m pretty proud of this page. This was truly a limited supply page. I had to experiment quite a bit to find ways to spice up the layout. It is fun and silly and everything that day with my friend Zita was.
This is my first scrapbook page ever! I’m taking the online Got Sketch 102 scrapbook class. A friend took the 101 class and loved it, so I thought I’d give it a try. The page I made above was for a preclass challenge. They gave us a sketch and a list of items/techniques to try to use in our page. I managed to use 4: chipboard, ribbons, scallops, and bling.
For the title, I covered chipboard with Whisper White Craft Ink. I wasn’t nuts about it, so I covered them in Tempting Turquoise Classic ink to match the mats underneath the photos and the designer paper. The photo corners are actually a scalloped frame I cut in half. I covered it in Whisper White Craft Ink as well, and then embellished them with some sparkly contraband (non-SU! stuff) I got at Target today.
