Happy Day!

In the last year or so, I have gone from 2 page layouts to 1 page for most things I scrapbook.  If the event is one with tons of pictures, I will do the 2 page layout once in awhile though.

 



 

For this layout, I used a piece of Color Me Autumn designer series paper as my background and added a strip of it to the front as well.

 

My title is from Starburst sayings and is cut out with the Starburst framelit.  I added some stamped images from Kinda Eclectic and Truly Grateful as well.

 

Supplies:

Starburst sayings, Truly Grateful, Kinda Eclectic

Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey ink

Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow card stock

Wetlands Thinking of You

 

I really like to use this image from Wetlands when I am making sympathy or thinking of you cards.  This one is quite simply put together using a strip of Color Me Autumn designer series paper as the background.

 

Supplies:

Wetlands

Baked Brown Sugar ink

Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede card stock

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope that you all have a wonderful day whatever your plans may be. 

 

I thought this simple card using the For All Things stamp set would be a nice one for celebrating thanks today.  I know I am thankful for so many things!

 

Supplies:

For all things

Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze ink

Color Me Autumn dsp

Very Vanilla card stock

neutrals button

linen thread

Wooden Elements

Again, I have run out of sympathy cards and wanted to make something with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, but a little different that using the tree images.  I chose to use the leaf image behind the sentiment from Love and Sympathy.

There is a strip of Color Me Autumn designer series paper and a Autumn wooden element added as well to keep the look simple, but add a little extra.

Supplies:

Lovely as a Tree, Love and Sympathy

Mossy Meadow, Baked Brown Sugar ink

Color Me Autumn

Well, I actually didn't intend to send you two posts yesterday, but will blame it on lack of sleep :)  Hope you enjoyed them anyway!!

 

Today I have a card I made for a customer order that uses the Bloom with Hope stamp set and some Color Me Autumn designer series paper.  One thing I really like about the dsp is that it incorporates both Very Vanilla and Whisper White (not on the same designs).  I tend to go more toward Whisper White than Very Vanilla, but I like using them both.

 



 

I added a little bow made with the Stitched Satin Blackberry Bliss ribbon as well for a little accent.

Ok, you may be wondering why my title for this post is Color Me Happy when it is a thank you card!  Well, I have some Color Me Autumn designer series paper on the card and a Happiness Is project life card as well...

 

The Watercolor Thank You image is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink to match both the designer series paper and project life card colors.

September Stamp Club Projects

There is lots of variety in the projects this month ranging from Halloween to thanks to a layout that could be used for lots of occasions including the 4th of July. 



 

 

I chose to use the Stars framelits for the layout and paired them with the Maritime designer series paper.

 

The first card uses the Color Me Autumn designer series paper and For all things stamp set.

 

 

And finally a Halloween card using the Mingle all the Way set and some Typeset specialty paper.

 

If these look like fun make sure you contact me about joining my monthly club or a Virtual Club! 

 

 

Stuffed with Happiness

As the kids prepare for school to start and I try to plan ahead for a couple months of harvest, the cards I share with you generally won't be too complicated. 

 

This one uses the Mingle all the Way stamp set again, this time using the Thanksgiving sentiment. 

 

Some Color Me Autumn designer series paper a few punches and a Draw the Line image complete the basic card.

 

Supplies:

Draw the Line, Mingle all the Way

Baked Brown Sugar, Cajun Craze ink

Pear Pizzazz, Hello Honey, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso card stock

Take 2

 

Today's cards show the "thanks" sentiment in the Seasonally Scattered stamp set.  Both bases are Soft Suede card stock and I used the Decorative Dots and Stylish Stripes folders directly on the card bases.

 

The first image is stamped in baked Brown Sugar and the second in Cajun Craze.  Each one has some Color Me Autumn designer series paper (you are going to love this pack!).  The top has a few gold basic metal buttons and on the bottom, the accent is Venetian crochet trim.
