Journals For Stampin Up Convention

Ciao Bella,

 I have a sort of treat for you today ….. My Sister Demo asked me to make her some 5 x 5 journals for gifts, for when she goes to Stampin Up's convention this week… well When I was finished … I forgot to take pictures to show you …..But what I do Have is design pictures …from the emails as I was creating them ….. these are not the complete finished project… but you get the idea and I still think they look pretty cool ….. So please excuse the back ground and quickie photography…..

This first one uses the Paisley Petals designer series paper and the sentiment is from On the grow from the summer Mini catty… 

And those gorgeous Blues are… Island Indigo and Pool party … this years NEW IN COLORS

Don't you just love those Blues… who knew back in April or was it May when Stampin Up was giving the Sneak Peek at this paper that we would also be getting a sneak Peek at the New In Colors …

When it was all said and done this one had some sponging and decorative pearls added….

This one was actually a reject because well it was nice but just didn't have that WOW effect we were looking for …..

  This one … the Calypso Coral … Just didn't seem to work and this one was rejected as well….. Well it was Ok… but there just wasn't enough of the Calypso Coral in the Designer Series Paper…and it seems just a little Too bright ….

So What I ended up with was the punched strip under the label being Cherry Cobbler… Of course …I forgot to take a picture… but take my word… it was stunning and defiantly a WOW…..

These were so simple but stunning and perfect for a gift or summer travel log…Oh you know what… They would be perfect for somebody to document a segment of there life … like maybe a High School Senior …the pages inside are made of cardstock so they are sturdy enough and perfect for scrapbooking.

If you would like to learn to make on of these , I would be more than happy to show you … just Email me at Sherry@Sherrystampinbella.com and we will get started right way…

Water Colored On the Grow

Ciao Bella,

         I told you I was working on water coloring…well here it is ….Super,super simple and will be my workshop card for the Month of July …

Isn't it sweet …..and fast as well …..I left off a sentiment on purpose…because I couldn't decide if I wanted the card to be a thank or sympathy or what …this card lends it self to just about everything. The base of the card is Concord Crush and our fantastic water color paper… and of course the punch, which for the life of me at the moment, I can't think of the name …and if you look close …there are even a few pearls in there. The stamp Set is On the Grow from the Summer Mini Catty.

If you think you can't water color … you are wrong …with water color crayons and a blender pen you can create this and all sorts of beautiful water colors …..let me show you how….. I have classes and clubs just for this sort of thing …..

All you have to do is contact me and you are on your way

National Scrapbooking Month…..

Ciao Bella,

                 May is National Scrapbooking Month…..and to Celebrate I have a few things planned that I will share over the course of this month…

   First I want to show you is this adorable 3 x 3 mini scrap page…….

This is not a normal scrap page, is it also a wall or decorative piece… the base is a 3×3 stretched canvas….it was so easy to make …very clean and simple for a vintage-ish type project… the sediment is from the new stamp set , On the Grow from the Summer Mini Catalog…It was a real hit at the art festival last weekend…Because all you had to do was add a wallet sized picture and you were done…..

The designer Series Paper was cut with Scalloped Square Duo die with the Big Shot..how perfect is that …some pear pizzazz seam binding,a designer big button…how easy is that…my favorite kind easy peasy….. 

Keep an eye out … I'm putting together the perfect scrapbook in a day class for the end of this month …..featuring the new Playful Polka dots simple scrapin kit ….

I'm having so much fun playing with this kit that it's hard trying to decide what layouts to use …..

thanks for stopping by …..
