Happy (Inter) National Scrapbooking Day! Thought I’d pull out this favourite page using the Tutti Frutti Product Suite. I have to admit, I don’t scrapbook a whole lot, but I do try to get a few pages of significant events done. I have a large square frame that fits 12 x 12 images, so I can pop the page in there to share with others easily (aka force them to admire it!! haha). This page features a couple of my favourite photos from a trip to Hawaii with the Burlington Teen Tour Band. You don’t have to do an entire scrapbook to commemorate trips or events, one page can be enough to bring back those memories!
This page uses the great Large Letters Framelits for the title portion, and the Fruit Basket Stamp set and Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack. You can get these in a specially priced bundle, but these are all on the retiring list, so you’ll want to be sure to grab them while you can. They’ll be gone forever as of May 30th, or when supplies are exhausted. The Large Letters framelits will be staying around for another year, but the coordinating Large Numbers Framelits are retiring (along with the coordinating Number of Years Stamp Set) so you may want to consider grabbing those before they’re gone. The title is an example of the Eclipse Technique, where you cut shapes out of the cardstock, and then back them with a contrasting cardstock and set them back into place with dimensionals. It’s a technique that I shared in a previous YamStamps Newsletter, and it’s one of my favourites.
I hope that you have a Happy (Inter) National Scrapbooking Day! Make some good memories and preserve them too! It’s a gorgeous Saturday around our neck of the woods, which is great, considering the horrendous high winds we had late yesterday – so many pictures of downed trees (HUGE ones), knocked over fences and missing roof shingles. I’m hoping to spend a bit of time creating today before I head out to sing in a choir concert this evening (Kokoro Singers – we’ll be in Kitchener tonight and Hamilton tomorrow, join us if you can!).
I am extending the (Inter) National Scrapbooking Day celebrations to Wednesday – there are still a couple of spots available in the Scrapbook in a Box class at 1pm or 7pm. Cost of $25 includes all supplies. No previous experience is required! You’ll create the box in class and then add your photos at home later. Please visit this page for more information/to register, or contact me. Hope to see you in class!!
