Summer Splash Scrapbook Page

 
I am on a roll with my scrapbooking lately...and apparently my blogging too.  Here's a page featuring the Summer Splash stamp set from the Summer Mini.  Don't forget, the last day to get goodies from the Summer Mini catalog is August 31st!

The inspiration for this page came from this box designed by Erica Cerwin. I'm a big fan of her stamping projects so check out her blog.

• This beach-themed page was very quick to put together, here's some tips and tricks:
• To create sand, the paper was torn and sponged.  The water and surf is Night of Navy and Whisper White.
• The "fun in the sun" greeting was matted on a Large Oval
• The sun was cut from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack (Daffodil Delight) using the Clear Circle die for the Big Shot and trimmed off the edges to create the sun.
• Surfboards were colored with markers and then cut on and tucked in to the sand  with Stampin Dimensionals. 

I love the images in the Summer Splash stamp set - perfect for scrapbooking beach vacations, trips to the aquarium and more. And the sea creatures are fun for all kinds of cards.

Travel Log: Vacation Scrapbook Page

I've been doing a lot more scrapbooking with my stampers lately and I have to say I'm loving it!  I am first and foremost a scrapbooker, so I am beyond thrilled to get pages done and in my album!

This page is a vacation page featuring the Travel Log scrapbook page.  The page was inspired by a journal created by my good friend Cindy Major.  Travel Log is from the Summer Mini catalog and won't be avaialble for order after August 31st. And you will not be seeing this one in any garage sales of mine as I'll definitely be holding onto it.  (By the way...please excuse the pink clothes pins...scrapbook pages are so hard to photograph and this is a good solution...I need fancier clothes pins. But these ones do go with my color scheme in my stamp room...lol)

Here's a rundown of the details on this page:

• Map image is stamped along the bottom of the page. Lining these up is a snap with the clear mount option of this set.  It is stamped tone on tone for a subtle effect.  The travel icons are stamped in Not Quite Navy on top of the background image.
• A strip of Beau Chateau paper is combined with a strip of Soft Suede cardstock run through the Big Shot with the Tasteful Trim die anchors stamped images. The paper is anchored with three brads along the side. 
• The shield is stamped and cut out and then attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The color combo for this page is Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  It's a great somewhat neutral palette will work for most photos.  And if all else fails, you can turn your photos to black and white or sepia tone!
