Episode 126: Soak up the Sun Beach Scrapbook Layout

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a very relaxing Labor Day weekend.

Today I am sharing a scrapbook page that I made using some Miss Kate Cuttables. If you have never used her files. I can tell you that you are honestly missing out. She has the cutest cutting files that I have ever seen online. And that's the honest truth.

I recently went to the beach with my family, so I decided to make a fun summery scrapbook page to save my memories.

For my Layout I used the Beach Girl

The Designer paper is from KI Memories- Toy Box

The Kraft, Blue White and Yellow Cardstock is from Recollections

The Orange Cardstock is from American Crafts Earth Tones

I used my Fiskars Apron Lace punch to create the white borders on each page

Stiching made using my Signio Uniball White Gel pen

The Brown Ribbon is From Michael's

Corners Rounded with my Corner Chomper

I Stamped the little Girl's Face using PKS 640 Princess Faces Assortment using

Two Stamped Cards

Hello There,

I have been making cards recently but I haven't been so good about taking pictures of them- since they were mailed almost immediately to their destinations

Here are some c rds that I did manage to take quick pictures of using my cell phone

This first picture was one of the many Mother's day cards I made.

I used this stamp set from Inkadinkado (Inkadinka Clings) Rubber Stamp

Inkadinkado - Inkadinkaclings Collection - Rubber Stamps - Floral Bouquet

Inkadinkado-Inkadinkaclings Collection- Floral Bouquet

I bought these from Scrapbuck.com ages ago but never used them.

I colored the flowers with my Spectrum Noir Markers and used some Glossy Accents on the case and stickles on portions of the floral park

I actually stamped the boquet twice and cut and colored the largest flowers purple and popped them up. It's really breathtaking in real life

The sentiment is from an E.A.D designs Stickerz that I had laying around.

...

The second was a sympathy card

This was a rubber stamp that I got on Clearance at my local scrapbook store, I also colored this with my spectrum noir Markets, and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps

I just colored this and added a little bit of Stickles to the lotus flowers

Both of these cards werte on the simple side for me, but Like I said I was in a urgent rush to get these mailed ou

Hope you like these projects.
