Love Letters dsp brag book page...

It's been awhile since we've swapped 6" x 6" brag book pages at our American Ink team meetings, but we're back to it. This was my page. It's textured Riding Hood Red card stock with some Love Letters dsp on it. I used the Pinking Hearts Border Punch on a strip of Early Espresso, then layered some crochet trim under that. I used the Petal Card Punch for the little envelope, which holds a little love note (from Cute by the Inch, a Level 2 hostess set), then added a Full Heart-punched Love Letter heart adhered with dimensionals and sporting a vanilla rosette. I did add a little library clip on the love note for my swaps, though it's not pictured. I'll share the other brag book swaps tomorrow!

Razzleberry Lemonade graduates...

Kim and I are spending today at Camp Leo, helping upwards of 80 seventh and eighth-graders with 6" x 6" squash books in four different sessions.

There's a photographer at the camp, and many of the kids have their own digital cameras, so this will make a nice keepsake for the campers to remember their week away from home and their new friends!

Today, I'm sharing a couple of quick 6" x 6" scrapbook pages using some Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper and the corresponding In Colors - Melon Mambo and Dusty Durango. These girls recently graduated from high school and are preparing for college in the fall.

If you find scrapbooking a challenge, you'll love making easy pages like these. I opened a new album and started inserting my brag book pages (what we call 6" x 6" pages) back to back in the book. It was neat to see how quickly the album came together, and how much time was covered with the pages I managed to do over the past couple of years. Each page is a snapshot in time.

Scrapping with the new In Colors...

It always feels good to scrapbook - getting your photos down with some brief journaling to remember a moment in time.

This first page uses Soft Suede card stock with a strip of Tall Tales designer paper. The giraffe from Animal Stories was stamped on So Saffron card stock in Soft Suede ink, cut out and adhered with dimensionals. The Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment was stamped on So Saffron in the same ink and punched out with the Modern Label punch, then I added a couple of Ruby Red brads.

The next 6" x 6" page is Crushed Curry with a square piece of Razzleberry Lemonade.

The photos are matted in Soft Suede with some luscious polka-dotted Crushed Curry ribbon around the top photo.

I colored a small flower with markers and cut it out, adhering it to the journaling block with a dimensional.
