Embrace Life Scrapbook page

My blog post today is for a scrapbook page. I actually made this for my upline Jaycene @ "Ear"resistable Stampers as a sample. I don't think I've ever posted a SB page! This was a 6 X 6 layout and I was actually happy with the way it turned out! I used the long flower from Embrace Life for the center focal point and the sentiment from that same set for the words. The stamp set has some really great images in it and the same with the paper, it was used during February for lots of Valentine cards and projects but the paper is just generally beautiful and can be used any time. More page details below.

Page Details:

• Page - 6 X 6
• Paper - Candy Lane, Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa and Riding Hood Red
• Ink - Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery Markers
• Accessories - Boho Blossom Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Designer Label Punch, Circle Punch and Word Window Punch!! WOW lots of punches! We love our punches.

Well thanks for stopping by again today, hope you enjoy the departure from my regularly card scheduled posting :-) And if you need any of these items that I used in today's project be sure and contact me.

Embrace Life in black and white

A demonstrator group that I'm apart of SUDSOL offers lots of challenges to keep your creative mojo going. I decided this week to take part for the first time in the Design Challenge which was to use only black and white and you could use a touch of color. This also fell right in line with a swap I'm in at CardSwappingForFun that is called POP of Color, it's a black/white card with a POP of color somewhere on the card, so these two worked together perfectly, nothing better than killing two birds with one rock (by the way I hate that saying, don't know why I used it???)

As a side note I was sure this challenge would be easy to do as I love very clean simple cards, but using only the black and white was much harder than I anticipated! The front is stamped in Craft White ink using the Embrace Life stampset and grosgrain ribbon is added for a beautiful touch of color. On the inside the same stampset is used but stamped on Whisper White with Basic Black ink, I used the three flower punch to add a couple of little red flowers. I was happy with the end result even though it was harder than I thought, I hope you enjoy it to.
