The Daily Scrapbook Page - on hiatus

The Daily Scrapbook Page - Layout #13

Do you have lots of stamps that you never seem to use. Yeah, me too! This layout is all about trying to use stamps in different ways to make a unique background. I also do some resist techniques with Heidi Swapp's papers by Pink Paislee...

See how I layered the stamped images to make a cool background with depth? Just choose stamps on a theme (cameras in this) and that you love (flourishes and heart here) and the design will flow together. Using a virtually monochromatic scheme of turquoise + white + kraft also helps tie it all together.

Here's how I made this layout:

Supplies:

• Elements from the "Vintage Mint" monthly Kit at Hydrangea Hippo
• ColorBox Frost White Pigment Inkpad - Clearsnap
• ColorBox Archival Dye Inkpad - Clearsnap
• Washi Tape
• ColorBox Stylus & Tips Set - Clearsnap
• Smooch Spritz in Vanilla Shimmer - Clearsnap
• Pink Paislee Fabric Borders
• Stickers - Webster's Pages
• Heart Stamp - Unity Stamp Co
• Flourish Stamp - La Blanche
• Camera Stamp - Hero Arts
• Aperature Stamp - Bo Bunny Press
• Kraft Cardstock, Pleated Cardstock - Bazzill

The Daily Scrapbook Page - Layout #12

Tonight I decided to do a Google Hangouts On Air to capture the making of this layout. It was fun! I will do them again so follow me on social media (see all those buttons at the bottom of this post) to catch when Iannounce them. They are kind of on the fly ... luckily they always get recorded so you can watch later if you can't watch and chat LIVE :)

This page is all about using up your stash. A few diecuts, some scraps of paper, OLD paper getting used up, digging through embellies I don't want to put away, and experimenting, with Smooch Accent Ink in this case. I hope you enjoy it! 

Like I said in the video, I don't particularly love single photo layouts because they are not practical to those of us scrapping for not just the love of creating but also to save our memories. Even though this page has one mat, I can include more photos using a strip of smaller images or use the mat to hold 2 smaller pics. Consider ways to adapt single photo designs to include more photos.

Here's how I made this layout ("today" and pointer diecuts added after video stopped):

Supplies:

• Smooch Spritz in Gold Glow - Clearsnap
• Smoch Accent Ink in Silver, Spruce, Lime Twist - Clearsnap
• Diecuts - Silhouette America
• Punches - Fiskars, Marvy
• Buttons - hydrangeahippo.etsy.com
• Paper by Jillibean Soup, Pink Paislee, American Crafts
• Cardstock - Bazzill

The Daily Scrapbook Page - Layout #10

We all do it. We have those tools we buy and maybe we love them for a month or two, or maybe they are still in the package, but the bottom line is that we are not using them to their full potential, as often as we ought to, and not getting our money's worth out of them. 

One of the tools I stopped using regularly was my Silhouette Cameo Machine. I moved a coffee table form my guest room into my family room, set up the ameo on it and set up my laptop on a TV tray. And while I was watching TV, I made some files and then started cutting them on the Silhouette. I started with some paper I wasn't too in love with, just to get the feel of it back. 

Today's page uses those elements I cut from the Silhouette Cameo. It feels really good to get out a tool and USE it! What tool or product did you buy that you wish you used more?

 Today's layout is about me teaching Katie to sew. I still need to add pics but you can check out the video here:

Well, you can use two different papers from a collection and still get a cohesive look -- that is what this page is all about.  Check out the video here:
