Scrapbook your July 4th and Family pictures!

Greetings everyone! I hope this summer is giving you fun with your families! Below are June’s scrapbook spreads….I’m a little late getting them posted as well as a lot of birthday and encouragement cards.

All of your cards have been such an uplifting encouragement to me!!! I will get them all posted. Life has been so busy with the estate sale, I have missed time in the stamp room for sure!

Below the scrapbook spreads, are 2 more samples from Hope & Prayer stamp set. I hope you have either ordered or are making plans to order your set today!

July 4th Spread using Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper - retired and retired Chevron punch All Stampin’ Up

TIP:

To keep the chevron pieces straight when applying on your spread, cut a 1 inch piece of cardstock - a different color than your base piece and use a couple pieces of Post-it Tape or sticky sheet to adhere while attaching the chevron pieces. This will keep them straight. See picture below.

Also, adding a bit of glimmer paper with the chevrons makes things shine without being too much competition for your firework pictures.

Family Spread with Cottage Rose stamps and die set

TIP:

Part of the Designer Series Paper used is a quiet piece of Smoky Slate. For the other paper, I made my own by randomly stamping the same flower image from Cottage Rose stamp set on Basis White cardstock. You see this paper under the letters “FAMILY” and under the right side picture mattes.

The same flower is then stamped on Basic White cardstock and colored in Rich Razzleberry with a sponge dauber and the leaves Soft Seafoam. Click on pictures to enlarge. Sorry, pictures seem a bit fuzzy tonight.
