UStamp 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop



Welcome to the UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! 3rd Anniversary Celebration Edition 2012 World
Showcase Blog Hop.

If you have been following the Blog Hop from the beginning, you have just been wowed by Betty Traciak's Petite Purse Mini Scrapbook, wasn't it awesome! Betty is a FABULOUS Designer and always shares something special for UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! events!!

If you are just joining the Blog Hop, no problem, as you can start at any point. All the Designer's Blogs are linked together so you will be able to see ALL the FANTASTIC projects we have for you.

Since it is National Scrapbooking Month, I wanted to create a fun project for a scrapbook.

The project I chose is a 12 x 12 double layout that is centered around a sticky treat that my kids and and probably most kids LOVE! I had the opportunity to chaperon a field trip to the Shrine Circus this spring with my children's school and took some fun pictures that worked perfectly
for this project.


There are not a lot of times when using pink on a page for boys is ok, but I think this one is an exception.

It is always fun to make messes, which is what these boys did with their cotton candy, so I decided to do the same with the layout by adding lots of ink in a couple of different ways.  I love using My Digital Studio for titles and journaling, it is quick and easy every time.

Of course I had to throw that elephant picture in there, another thing that just goes with the circus!

And the project wouldn't be complete without a fun matching card!

As a Special Thank You for stopping by my blog I am giving away BLOG CANDY!!

What a cute layout, cotton candy is generally pink, at least that was what is when I a little one! And when I brought my son home from the hospital 33 years ago, our neighbor, one of his olders sisters teacher, brought over the most adorable pink terrie footed pj's and said when she was growing up pink was ok for boys! This hope has brought a ton of memories to mind and it has been a blast for me.

What an adorable layout, perfect for cotton candy. Taking my grandhildren to the fair in a couple of weeks, will have to use this as inspiration for that layout. Thank you so much for sharing.

MaryK said...

That layout LOOKS like cotton candy! How cute! And the layout looks like the fun they seem to have had!

Stephanie Osgood said...

What a cute idea to base the layout on cotton candy. It really shows the fun of the day.

Unknown said...

Very cute! I never realized until now that I could make scrapbook pages for friends to use and make a card with the scraps from that page too. I need to use that idea in my classes as well!! Awesome ideas - thanks!!!

Yvonne said...

Very cute and I am sure the children loved the circus.

Jamie Adcock said...
