Park Lane Scrapbook Page


This is the 3rd page we'll make at Scrapbook Class tomorrow night.....

If you're interested in joining us at this class, we welcome new people anytime!!

The Scrapbook Class meets regularly on the last Tuesday of every month - you can come anytime from 4-9 pm to put your pages together.  Just email me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com or call/text to (989) 330-0259 to sign up for the next class!!



We start our page with a Blackberry Bliss base, then add a couple of strips of the Park Lane Designer Series Paper to the side and bottom of the page.  I remember falling in love with the Park Lane Designer Series Paper when it came out in the Annual Catalog last summer - and I'm finally getting a chance to use it on a scrapbook page!!  Better late than never, I guess!!


Park Lane Designer Series Paper  133694  $10.95




We stamped a beautiful Calypso Coral flower using the Petal Potpourri stamp set and punched it out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch - these two items are bundled together for a 15% savings on both items.

Next, we added some of that fun Gold Sequin trim to the center of the flower.  I just added some Snail adhesive to the center, then wrapped the string of sequins around the inside of the flower.  I like that frayed look, so I pulled a couple of sequins off each end and left the string from the sequins.



Petal Potpourri Stamp Set/Flower Medallion Punch Bundle  wood-mount  138876  $37.95
Petal Potpourri Stamp Set/Flower Medallion Punch Bundle  clear-mount  138877  $31.25


Gold Sequin Trim  132983  $4.95



Then, we stamped "Thanks for being you" from the Sale-a-Bration "For Being You Stamp Set" in Blackberry Bliss ink - you can get this stamp set for FREE with a $50 order thru March 31 (just 2 days left!!).

Next, we die-cut this piece (along with our Soft Suede scalloped piece behind it) using our Oval Framelits.

We also stamped that "swoosh" from the Work of Art Stamp Set in Calypso Coral ink and added some tiny flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, along with a Gold Sequin in the center of each tiny flower.  I found that it works best to use a bit of Tombow Liquid Purpose glue in the center of each flower, then add the sequin and leave it to dry.  The more you fuss with the sequins, the more likely they are to not stay in place!

Painted Blooms Scrapbook Pages


Here are the first 2 pages we'll be making at our Scrapbook Class this week on Tuesday, March 31.  This class meets the last Tuesday of every month.  You can come anytime between 4-9pm to make 3 fabulous scrapbook pages!!  The choice is yours....  either pay a flat $15 fee or place an order and your pages are FREE!!

The next class will meet on Tuesday, April 28 from 4-9pm.  Just email me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com or call/ text to (989) 330-0259 to sign up for the next class today!


I love these flowers!!

The beautiful water-color flowers in the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper are perfect for these spring scrapbook pages!!

First, we added a couple of pieces of the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper to the bottom of our Garden Green Scrapbook page base, then a couple of pieces of Whisper White card stock to frame our pictures.


Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper  137784  $10.95



We also stamped that gorgeous flower (one last time!! - before Sale-a-Bration ends on March 31!!) from the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set.  For this flower, we stamped the full flower image once in Pacific Point ink (after we stamped it off on a scratch piece of paper to lessen the strength of the ink), then we inked and stamped the next smallest flower image in Pacific Point ink (over top of the full image, to give it that texture and dimension!).  We did not use the smallest flower image on this page - I really liked the effect of just the two stamps for this page!

Then, we added a cute Wild Wasabi Cotton Twine Bow (from the Painted Blooms Cotton Twine pack) to the flower.


Painted Blooms Cotton Twine  137873  $6.95


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



Again, we started with a Garden Green Scrapbook Page base, then added a couple of pieces of the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the page and a few pieces of Whisper White card stock to frame our photos..

We also added some stamping!!


We stamped "Friends Become our Chosen Family" from the Painted Petals Stamp Set in Garden Green ink (what a great sentiment that is!) - and those cute little flowers (also from the Painted Petals Stamp Set) in Daffodil Delight ink.  This piece was die-cut with our Banner Framelits. 

We also added some Blackberry Bliss Baker's Twine behind the banner and that cute, little Blackberry Bliss button tied with White Baker's Twine.  The button and twine are part of the Sale-a-Bration 2nd Release Items - the In Color Accessory Pack to be exact!

Sweet Dreams.... You're Simply Wonderful


I just love the soft, spring colors on this card!!   

The inspiration for this card came from the Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper 
(found in the Occasions Catalog).  It's the perfect color combination - Crisp Cantalope, Hello Honey & Sahara Sand!





 Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper   137782  $10.95




We start our card with a Crisp Cantalope Card base, then add a layer of Whisper White card stock.  

Then, we added a strip of Sahara Sand card stock, followed by strips of Hello Honey card stock and the Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper.



Next, we added a Crisp Cantalope banner cut with our Banner Framelits, followed by a Whisper White banner (this is just a 1" wide strip of paper made into a banner on the end with our 1" Square Punch).

We also stamped "You're Simply Wonderful" from the Sale-a-Bration "Simply Wonderful" Stamp Set on our Whisper White banner piece - this stamp set is yours FREE with a $50 order thru March 31!!

What is that little strip of yellow there, you ask??  It's a 1/4" strip of Hello Honey card stock, simply added to the bottom of the white banner and snipped at an angle.

And.... the finishing touch....  that super-cute Chevron Button from the Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons, tied with some White Baker's Twine!!

Butterfly Basics... Happy Birthday


This is one of the cards we made at our Group Meeting this month.
We make one set of cards each month that we donate to a local organization.  In the past, we've made donations to the Commission on Aging, the Cancer Center and the local Hospice House.  They each use the cards in a unique way to brighten the lives of those they touch in their organization.  We have a dedicated group of ladies that love to make these cards each month, and I'm proud to be a part of it! 



We start our card with a Crumb Cake card base, then added a layer of Pear Pizzaz card stock, followed by a layer of Very Vanilla card stock.



We stamped our Very Vanilla piece with the butterfly (from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set) in Blackberry Bliss ink, then the fern fronds in Pear Pizzaz ink (stamping it once in full strength ink, then again beside it without re-inking the stamp).

Next, we stamped "Happy Birthday" in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then sponged the edges of the card with Crumb Cake ink.


Butterfly Basics Stamp Set  wood-mount  138813  $47.95
Butterfly Basics Stamp Set  clear-mount  138816  $35.95
Butterfly Basics Stamp Set  photopolymer  137154  $23.95






Finally, we added 3 small pearls to the center of the butterfly.
