Scrapbook Sunday #29
I made a 8 1/2″ x 11″ scrapbook page this weekend so I could use the Weekend sketch as a layout.
The page base is a sheet of Chocolate Chip cardstock. Layered over it are a 4 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Brocade Background Designer paper and a 3 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Spring Silhouette Designer Paper. Chocolate Satin Ribbon was tied around the layers.
I layered my 5″ x 7″ photo first on a 1/2″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock, then on a 6″ x 8″ piece of Always Artichoke. A dotted white gel pen border was added to the Chocolate layer and the Artichoke layer was paper pierced.
The two ovals were cut with the largest of the Nestabilities templates. Celebrate and good times are from the stamp set Celebrate Everything. They were stamped in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White cardstock. I paper pierced underneath celebrate and added journaling with my Artichoke marker around it.
I want to wish every Mother out there a Happy Mother’s Day! I hope your day is filled with lots of love, hugs and kisses!

Beate, I love this page! I am using 12 x 12 for Benjamin’s school albums, just because he has so much that needs to go in them, but I love making the smaller ones like this one and even smaller.
