Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop – August 2018
Welcome to the August 2018 Scrapbooking Global – Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Memories & More – School Photos. If you’d like to participate in our monthly challenge and hop, you can join in the fun via our Scrapbooking Global – Stampin’ Up! Facebook Group!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Start with a 12x12 sheet of Whisper White Cardstock as your canvas.
- Cut three strips of Best Route Designer Series Paper to the following widths: 3″ (gray), 1″ (navy dots), 9″ (navy street). Adhere with Snail Adhesive, leaving the edge without adhesive. Crinkle and fold the edges and corners.
- Adhere a piece Whisper White 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Find 3 Photos and cut two to 3 1/2″ squares and one to 3 1/2″ x 5″. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Crop several circles from the Best Route Designer Series Paper with the following sized circle punches: 1/2″, 1″, 1 1/4″, 1 1/2″, 2″. Adhere with Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp “first”, “day”, and “grade” in Night of Navy Ink onto the Gray Grid Designer Series Paper using Lined Alphabet Set. Crop out the letters with a Big Shot and the Layering Alphabet Dies. Snip the uncut portion with a Paper Snips. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the home street name, school name and year using the alphabet letters from the Pick a Pennant Stamp Set and Mango Melody, Gray Granite, and Night of Navy Ink.
- Crop the child’s name using the Large Letters Framelits Dies. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add Best Route Enamel Shapes as a final touch.
The Best Route Designer Series Paper and Best Route Enamel Shapes coordinated perfectly with my photos of Preston. I know they are not “official” school photos, but I ran with it. It represents a very special day, the first day of first grade!
I love my blue-eyed boy! The center photo is one of my favorites. It captured his happy, bright-eyed smile that he gives so very often!
The Best Route Enamel Shapes that are “Pin” points on a map were perfect to represent our home address and the school name. Cute, cute, cute!
I love making scrapbook pages, they bring back memories and make me smile…every time!

Seas of Textures for GDP151 Theme Challenge
Happy Monday Everyone!
The Global Design Project has an awesome theme challenge for you this week! GDP151 Take Me To the Sea! I had to try out the Sea of Textures Bundle again! I decided to go with a watercolor look using Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. Love those two colors together.
Step-by-Step Instructions: COMING SOON!
I used an Aqua Painter with Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape to create the background for this card. First, I lightly brushed on the color. Then I used a sponge to add a bit of depth here and there. After it was all done, I squeezed water droplets from my Aqua Painter onto the canvas, let it sit for a few seconds, then dabbed up the water with a paper towel…love the final product!
Using Stampin’ Write Markers to give a red rubber stamp multiple colors, it such an easy technique to do. Instead of huffing on the stamp, this time I lightly spritzed it with water from a Stampin’ Spritzer!
The GDP Design Team has some amazing creations to inspire you! Please hop on over and check out their challenge submissions and also of those that play along! We would love to have you play along with us!
