Laura's Scrapbook Pages - Her Wedding

These pages are of Laura and Jacks Wedding. There are about 5 more pages to share with you then I will be back to current events. Thanks for letting me share these with you.

This is Laura with her parents.

Not trying to be funny here but I just can't imagine my husband in a plaid suit. But I guess back when they were married it was the current fashion.


In the pictures Laura'a dress seemed to be a very light pink but it could just be the photography back then.

Should have started at the Beginning

I should have started at the beginning so I am now going to do that. The following page is the first page of the book. It shows Laura around the beginning of being diagnosed with Cancer I believe. She was a very brave lady.

I used DSP from 2009's Sellabration Delicate Dots, used my nestabilities to make the journaling element and used the ticket corner punch on the picture and the mat which was Bashful Blue.


The next couple of pages were from her early childhood.





For these layouts I used Nouveau Chic because I thought it had a vintage look to it and would go well with black and white photos. I stamped the Baroque Motif flourist stamp with black ink on the paper it shows up more on the first black and white pictures than the photo of the second set.

There is something about black and white photo's everyone always looks so good in them. I guess the colored photos show all of our flaws. LOL

Here's what I used:

Stamps: Baroque Motifs

Paper: DSP Nouveau Chic, Delicate Dots, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Black card stock.

Ink: Black

Accessories: Photo corner punch, ticket corner punch

Continuing on About Laura

Continuing on about Laura and her scrapbook. Laura was a nurse. In this graduation picture of her there was only a hint of color from the flowers and so I decided to pick up on that color for my color scheme for this page.

I used the Elements of Style flourish stamp colored with Always Artichoke and Rich Razzleberry and made my border. I layered the photo first with Whisper White and the with Rich Razzleberry.

I used the Graduation stamp with Rich Razzleberry and cut it out with one of my Nestabilitie dies and sponged Rich Razzleberry on it. I also added a piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock across the page which had been rolled with the Very Vintage wheel in Rich Razzleberry.



Edited: Laura's book was finished before she passed away. I hope she did get her journaling finished but if she did not her husband hopefully will add what he can. He has gone away for a few months.


Here's what I used:

Stamps: Elements of Style, Graduation Single Stamp, Very Vintage

Paper: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Always Artichoke

Accessories: Stamp Around Wheels, dimensionals, sponges, Stamp and Write Markers.

2 Page Raspberry Tart Layout

Some of my customers have been asking me for some scrapbooking help. I was first a scrapbooker before I was a card maker, but it was a easy transition.

With the arrival of two new granddaughters I thought it would be quite fitting to make some pages up for those most anticipated pictures. Are you reading this Bryanne?

My DSP that I used is from the Raspberry Tart series. I love the pinks, the Regal Rose, Red Rose and of course the Kiwi Kiss that are in theses papers. That is one of the things you have to love about Stampin Up all their papers and accessories co-ordinate so nicely and it really takes the guess work out of the equation.

On my first layout I made room for a 5 x 7 picture. But you could easily put a 4 x 6 and it would still look lovely. The other thing I wanted to do was to start incorporating stamp images on my layouts. I chose Petal Pizzazz for this. I cut the flowers and stems and sponged the edges. I used dimensionals under all of them to give them so depth. I left room on the left side for future journaling.

On the second layout I made is for two 4 x 6 pictures, one in landscape and one in portrait. Please remember when taking pictures to use both of these poses, it will make your scrapbooking so much easier.

I used the die cut from page 198 in the catalogue called Swirly. I punch out from my scraps some flower shapes with the Three Flower punch and the Boho Blossoms punches and added them to the Swirly die cut.
