Garden Impressions Scrapbook Pages


Here are some fun scrapbook pages for you today!!  We made one of these pages last month at Scrapbook Class, and we're making the other page tonight at class!

We always make three 12x12 page layout at class - a two-page spread and a single page that coordinates with the next month's single page spread!

If you'd like to join us at our next Scrapbook Class, these classes always meet the last Tuesday of every month anytime from 5-9pm!  Our next class is on Tuesday, September 25.  I'd love to have you join us anytime!

Ok, on to our pages...


We start our page with a Melon Mambo base, then added a half-sheet of the Soft Sea Foam card stock to the middle of our page and two pieces of the Garden Impression Designer Series Paper (DSP) to each corner of our page.  I really can't stop playing with this DSP!!!  Well, I guess now that summer is about over I'll probably have to find a new favorite!

Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper  146289




Next, we stamped our flowers (from the awesome Abstract Impressions Stamp Set) in Powder Pink and Melon Mambo ink and the leaves in Shaded Spruce ink.

We punched our flower circles out with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and layered them on top of a Powder Pink 2" Circle, then added them to our page with Dimensionals.  

Finally, we added a Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dot to the center of each flower for the perfect finishing touch.

In the other corner of our page, we die-cut that gorgeous floral detailed piece from Powder Pink card stock using the Springtime Impressions Framelits and adhered it to our page with a Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Here's a peak at our next page....


This time, we started with a Pacific Point base, then added another half sheet of Soft Sea Foam card stock to the center and 2 more pieces of the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper to the corners of our page.




Then, we die-cut the beautiful detailed butterfly from Melon Mambo card stock using the Springtime Impressions Thinlits and adhered it to the top of our page.

Did you know that you can buy the Springtime Impressions Thinlits and Abstract Impressions Stamp Set separately, or save 10% when you buy them in the bundle!

We also stamped "There's so much to love about you" from the Abstract Impression Stamp Set in Melon Mambo ink and die-cut the sentiment using our Stitched Shapes Framelits.

The, we die-cut Melon Mambo and Shaded Spruce scallop circles from the Layering Circle Framelits and layered them behind our sentiment.

Finally, we added two Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins to our sentiment.
