August Scrap Club

This month's scrap club was delayed as I was away on holiday so we had it this week! Here is the page we created, based on one I saw on Jenni Pauli's website.

The base is Whisper White and was distressed with Sahara Sand ink. There were flowers stamped all over the base from Bordering on Romance in Peach Parfait, Rose Red, So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand. Matching mats were cut in the same card. Some edges were decorated using Edgelits which match the Bordering on Romance stamp set.

Across the centre were 3/4" circles cut, some were stamped images and others were in solid coloured cardstock. Leaves were cut im Sahara Sand on the Big Shot, as well as a So Saffron flower. The large flower was distressed and a paper daisy was layered on top with a Pumpkin Pie button in the centre. This page will look great with monochrome photos and could have a Sahara Sand title cut on the Big Shot once photos are chosen!

We had a lovely time, so thank you ladies!!

The next scrap club will be held on Tuesday 4th September at 7.30pm (GU12) - Let me know if you'd like to come along.

Super-quick thanks

Here was a card that was made in 5 minutes flat. Again, it uses the same Simply Scrappin' Kit I've been featuring all week and then whole background paper comes ready with the floral image printed on it.

The thank you sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped using Early Espresso ink to match the same coloured card base. A few rhinestones later and it was finished! Great for those last-minute card situations we all find ourselves in every now and again.

Thinking of You.

 Hello again! Another card featuring Everything Eleanor. Can you tell I'm unable to put this set down?!
The flower and stem were stamped in Soft Suede ink and then coloured using a Blender Pen in Pirouette Pink for the flower and Lucky Limeade for the stem to match the card base. The blender pen gives a great watercolour effect with zero mess.

A few more holiday snaps:

Subtle flowers

Good morning! Such a great week so far and there's more to share with you today. Here is a card with a Pool Party base with the swirl from Everything Eleanor stamped in the same colour. Then Blushing Bride flowers were stamped from the same stamp set and cut out to place raised on the swirl. A few pearls bring the card together along with a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes. (This card looked more stunning in real life!)

 Here's one of the stunning views we saw in France. Such beautiful natural landscapes and totally different to what I see out the window at home!

 Munchkin is clearly going to become a petrol-head. She couldn't resist this motorcycle ride (even though it wasn't moving!)

Here she is again looking cool in the back of the car with her Great Aunt.  Nice shades.

Woodgrain

Good morning! Here is another card made with the same Simply Scrappin' Kit. These kits are fabulous as you get self-adhesive die cuts (stickers to you and I!), patterned papers, border stickers and cardstock that all co-ordinates. Love it.

This card used some added extras: paper daisy coloured in Pirouette Pink, Pearls, Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon and woodgrain background stamp. Plus, I used Everything Eleanor as it's new to me! Such a versatile stamp set.

For the Munckin fans, here are a couple more holiday snaps:

Did you miss me?

You might have wondered where I popped off to since last Tuesday... No?! Well, Munchkin and I went on a last minute trip to France to see my Aunt & Uncle! We had a great time: cycling, swimming in a river, visiting a chalet in the mountains, walking, eating, carbooting and reading.

Here is a picture of Munchkin enjoying the plane ride:

Another in the HOT HOT HOT park:

I couldn't leave you without any craftiness so here is a card made while visiting:

The stamped greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the rest is from one of the lovely Simply Scrappin' scrapbook kits.

I'll be back tomorrow with another card made from the same kit!
