For your Confirmation

 

I put together a few confirmation cards for a customer this week and thought I would share them with you.  I used the All God's Grace stamp set.  

 

 

I die cut an oval and then stamped my cross on it with Soft Suede ink.  Next I used the Wink of Stella glitter brush and colored in outside of the cross.

 

The banners were cut with the Banners framelits and I added some texture with the Large Polka Dots folder and Perfect Polka Dots folder.

 

Supplies:

All God's Grace

Soft Suede ink

Tip Top Taupe, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla card stock

gold baker's twine

Wink of Stella glitter brush

Ovals, Banners framelits

Long Altered Notepad

 

Quite awhile ago I went into an office supply store and purchased a package of note pads and then had them cut the pads into 3 pieces the long way... Well needless to say you end up with quite a few notepads and I have lots left to use up!  

 

I put this one together quickly by cutting a piece of the white card board that comes with the designer series paper packages  and adding some Neutrals color collection designer series paper to it with a glue stick. 

 

Then, I attached the note pad to that with some tear and tape adhesive and added some decorations using the All God's Grace stamp set, itty bitty punches and basic rhinestones.

March Stamp Club

 

It is time for stamp club projects again! 

 

I chose a wedding card using the Timeless Elegance designer series paper and Rose Wonder stamp set...

 

and a confirmation card using the All God's Grace stamp set and Simply Irresistible specialty paper.

 

The layout also uses a specialty paper - Shine on and I have added a metallic doily and some washi tape as accents.

 

 

If you think this looks like fun and would like to try out either my monthly stamp club or my Virtual stamp club, contact me here for more information.

 

 

One Big Occasion, Two Different Ideas

 

Sometimes when you get those professional photos of big life events or sports  it is hard to figure out how to handle the composite for a scrapbook page and sometimes it makes it so much easier...For Maddie's First Communion and Confirmation I decided to do two totally unmatched pages for her - one using the composite pictures and another with ones I took.

 

For the professional picture, I left it all mounted as it came and added some Timeless Elegance designer series paper to a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock that I stamped some flower images on using the stamp set from the October Paper Pumpkin kit. 

 

Then, I took one of the sentiment stamps from All God's Grace and used a Cherry Cobbler marker on it so I could eliminate part of the wording. 

For the page with less formal pictures, I used some English Garden designer series paper and the same stamp set - All God's Grace. 

 

I cut out words from that stamp set and one from the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 set for my title.

 

The pictures took up the majority of the page even after I cut some of them down, but I still added some metal rimmed pearls and a tea lace doily for accents.
