Paradise Palms Scrapbook Pages

I really enjoy the challenge of creating scrapbook pages with my Stampin' Up! supplies. Many would say that Stampin' Up! doesn't have much for scrapbooking and I understand where they are coming from but strongly disagree! You can scrap with just about anything!

Here you can see some designer series paper, a few die cuts, some cardstock, stamps, and ink. I know, it sounds like a lot but it was all stuff I already have in my stash. I'm sure you do too!

Hippo Happiness

Hippo Happiness was retired last spring. I was sad to see this one leave our arsenal. The labels that are part of the dies are fantastic! The animals in this set are so adorable too. As you can see, I played with this set but didn't get to share them with you so here we go!

The colors for this card are Tahitian Tide,  Daffodil Delight, and Melon Mambo. It's a very cheerful card. You can see one of the great labels in these dies on this card too.

Snowflake Wishes

Snowflake Wishes retired a year ago and I made these cards a year ago. They have been patiently waiting for me to share their beauty.

The card base is Crumb Cake that I added another layer of Crumb Cake onto the base. I stamped the snowflake with Crumb Cake and Pool Party ink and the greeting with Night of Navy ink. I sponged some Whisper White ink on the edges of the cardstock. I added strip of embossed vellum to the left side of the cardstock. I tied some linen thread around the layer, tying it in a bow. I then added a snowflake die cut from Basic White cardstock with a rhinestone added to the center. 

Wildlife Wonder

I am going to work on being consistent this year. I want to be posting on my blog several times a week. I was doing that very consistently until summer. It is time! I have over 60 posts in my queue waiting to be written up and shared. I haven't stopped creating, just stopped sharing. So, here I go!

I'm starting with a fantastic stamp set called Wildlife Wonder. This set is perfect for creating those hard to make masculine cards.

The Night of Navy and So Saffron is the perfect color combination for this card. The moon was stamped with the large circle from Watercolor Shapes.

Dragonfly Garden

The fall is such a beautiful time of the year. The colors are changing and you never know what the next day will bring for weather either. We had a swarm of dragonflies in our backyard a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing to watch them fly around but I was very glad to have screens on our windows at the same time.

Dragonfly Garden is an awesome set. I love to play with it when I get the time. I stamped the coneflower several times before re-inking on this card. I also distressed the edges of the Basic White layer.
