More "old" Scrapbooking

Yay...got 2 more layouts done this weekend...here's one of them. I finally used my Top Note Die (positive & negative pieces) for pictures. This was made with an old Simply Scrappin' Kit...those kits are just too fun and easy to use...just throw down strips and add the self-adhesive die cuts, and you've got a page done!

I also took out all of my 12x12 scrapbook albums today and started putting completed layouts inside. I'm determined to keep scrapbooking this summer to catch up...it would be nice to make my wedding album, especially since I just had my 9 year anniversary! :) I have 6 albums that are pretty much done, but still lots to do. My kids are going to end up with a ton of albums someday.

Old Scrappin'

While I wait for my new catalog goodies, I thought I would use some old stuff...and this Simply Scrappin' Kit is pretty darn old!

I cranked this page out in about 15 minutes...I'm trying to scrapbook as much as I can during the summer so I can be all caught up...or almost caught up. These pictures are from Spring 2008.

Now I need to pull some pictures off the computer and get them printed! :)

I got a few minutes to stamps today when the kiddos headed outside to play on their new swing set! :) I'm really having fun with the Stencil, as you can tell.

Scrappin' With NEW Goodies

This layout was too fun! I used the *new* decor stencil, Brocade Floursih, to add a design onto the 12x12 Kraft. I just layed the stencil down and sponged Chocolate Chip ink onto the stencil...too easy and fun. It would look nice to sponge a couple colors together too...I'll try that later. It was great to use an In Color Stampin' Write Marker for the Razzle Dazzle flower. I inked up the whole stamp with Mellow Moss then went back with the Rich Razzleberry marker to add a contrasting color. I'm having fun using me new "stuff" and I can't wait to put in my big July 1st order with goodies from the new catalog!

Circle Circus

Here's another card I made with my new goodies. I'm so excited to have this set; I've been waiting for a set like this to coordinate with my circle punches. I layered 2 the 1" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches onto the Scallop Circle Punch, which gave great dimension to the card. I also used dimensionals to lift the Modern Label Punch, which has the greeting. I like to snip down the brad prongs with the Craft & Rubber Scissors when the brad lays close to the edge.

*NEW* Card

Yay...I finally had a few minutes to play with my new stuff. You can tell it was only a few minutes because this card is incredibly simple. I used 2 new stamp sets, Teeny Tiny Wishes & Razzle Dazzle. Isn't the new Modern Label Punch great?! The cardstock colors, besides Whisper White, are new In Colors: Soft Suede & Melon Mambo. I hope to play some more soon...I made my order list for July 1st...yikes...it's large! :)
