Scrapbook Sunday #28

I used this weekend’s sketch for my  scrapbook page.

The page base is a 6″ x 6″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock.

The designer paper from Always Artichoke Prints and Fall Flowers Pack were cut in 2 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ and 3 1/4″ x 2 7/8″ pieces and taped to the card base. The (long neglected) Argyle stamp from All in a Row was stamped in Chocolate Chip over all designer Paper edges.

I cut the photo down to  3 1/2″ x 5″ and layered it first on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip, then Bashful Blue cardstock. The title is from Many Happy Returns and is stamped in Chocolate Chip on a 1 1/4″ Whisper White circle. That circle was layered first on a 1 3/8″ Chocolate Chip circle, then on a bashful blue scallop circle.

For my journaling I rounded one edge of a 7/8″ x 2 1/4″ strip of Whisper White with my 1″ circle punch. I added journaling with my Chocolate Chip marker and added two Pewter brads on the left hand side.

I know my scrapbook pages are very simple. But with only having a 6″ square space to work with, it’s hard to add a lot of stuff. I like the focus of my pages to be the photos I am scraping, not all the cool stuff I used to make it.

BRAK from Barb Shelton

Barb Shelton sent me this beautiful card.

She said it’s one of her favorite birthday cards and that it’s not her original idea. It was cased from SCS.

 Thank you so much, Barb! It’s gorgeous.
