Jordyn's dance recital

Studio J layout showing Jordyn with her dance group, she took tap and her group really knew their routine.
Missing from the picture is the only boy in the recital.  
We received a 5 pack of Studio J with our Convention registration, that means we were able to design 5 2-page layouts for free.  With this we were given instuctions to help us learn to go beyond the basic concepts and use the papers in different ways.  This layout is supposed to be Halloween "Mischief" we made the cupcakes using the candy in the my Stickease, the cherry was a bigger brad and the stems were made from staples. 

Don't wait to get a FREE stamp set, this celebration ends on Sat........Put your list together and contact me.

May Stamp of the month

We made this card in class yesterday, you stamp this card on the inside and cut it half way so the sunflower pops out and covers the inside of the small sunflower.  We used the "Dotty for You" paper on the inside. The stamp used on the front was from the Enjoy the ride stamp set, dots background.

This layout using Florentine paper was from Easter, the neat part about this layout was on the left side my picture was supposed to be vertical and not all my family would fit, so I flipped it and made the photo mat horizontal. On the right side, in the bottom 6 squares, I inserted the same picture and just scaled the pictures up to 300% and made it look like one big photo.  Fun

This is a great way to do scrapbooking without getting out all papers and accessories, only to put it away again.  If you have a computer with pictures downloaded, you can do this.  I will be glad to help you get started.

This layout is my grandson Kolby, who just had his 10th birthday. The paper is Superhero and it was perfect for a boys layout. The stars and ribbon and brads were easy to do.  I love the fact that any of the My Stickease can be enlarged or reduced.  The challenge on this page was creating your own argyle across the bottom of the page.  

This is a layout featuring my beautiful oldest grand daughter Abrielle, this was the easiest one to do as far as pictures, the stitching was a learning curve. This layout features Stella paper from our new Idea Catalog.
