Scrapbooking

It was a crazy weekend with performances for my high school play-“All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”. The cast did a great job. I am very proud of those kids. It was bittersweet to see it end as it was my last play as director for HHS. I will miss my theatre kids immensely.

Here are my last two projects from my display samples – 2 scrapbook pages. I think these are my favorite of the 21 items I created. I usually struggle with scrapbook pages, but these came together pretty quick. As soon as I saw this leaf print in the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, I knew the picture I had to use. The colors reminded me of my daughter’s wedding last summer. I thought I would be perfect to show off my two beautiful girls – bride and maid of honor.

I added a piece of Wood Textures designer series paper under the picture. It echoed the rustic theme of the wedding decor. The sentiment from Rooted in Nature was a perfect message for my girls – Be Strong, Be Happy, Be You.

This next page features one of Rachel’s Senior pictures. She LOVES books, so this shot of her with a stack of her favorites was perfect.

I used some old and new on this project. I used sentiments from both NEW Rooted in Nature and Sea of Textures sets. The old is the current Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper. I typed the words on the white panel and added the leaf stamp behind. I think this page really show my daughter’s love of reading. There are a lot of little fun elements that add to the interest of the page. It was a lot of fun to put together.

That is it for my display samples form On Stage Milwaukee. I hope you enjoyed them. I certainly enjoyed creating them and sharing them with you.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Curtain’s up! It is opening night for Mulan Jr. at Hutchinson Middle School. It is always exciting to get to this point. To be honest, after three long months, I am also ready for it to wrap up. Of course, I go right into rehearsals for the High School spring show. So the whole cycle begins again. I hope to get some more time in the studio soon. For now, here is a scrapbook page I made of my amazing middle child, Rachel. I used one of my favorite shots from her Senior pictures (she graduated in 2016). This picture just blows me away. It was a lot of fun designing this page.

I started with an 8″x8″ piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I stamped the flowers from the Amazing You Sale-A-Bration stamp set in Soft Suede. Next, I added the brick background with the decorative mask and embossing past. I stamped the words “You are Simply” in Berry Burst, Peak a Boo Peach and Dapper Denim and cut them out. I used the Celebrate You Thinlits to die cut the word “amazing” from those same three colors. The last detail is the ribbon element at the top.

I really do think she is simply amazing!
