Welcome Christmas Ornament

Today I have a project to share with you from my $30 Club. We had our christmas get together last Friday and this is the project I brought along for the girls to make.




We have used the Welcome Christmas Stamp Set and the designer series paper that was available in last month's promotion (and I have totally forgotten the name).

Here is the otherside of the ornament.

One of the girls from the club (waving hi Jo) suggested putting photos of the kidlets on these ornaments to hang on the tree. I think that would be so cute.

All Supplies Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.

Very Merry

We are up to the last layout from my last Scrapbook Club. Don't forget if you are interested in joining the next round there are still spots left so be sure to contact me soon.

Our last layout was a Christmas layout featuring Bella Rose Designer paper (now retired).

I have used a base of Old Olive cardstock. I always save my diecut papers when I buy them to use as templates. I have used one of these templates to make a Real Red photo mat. I doodled around the edge with my Basic Black marker.

I have punched circles from the Bella Rose paper with various circle punches (I think I used every circle punch I own.

The title was stamped with the Big Deal Alphabet and trimmed out.

In the little frame I have used a definition from the Definitions set. The cute frame stamp is now retired (and I cannot for the life of me think of the name of the stamp set). I journalled on white strips and adhered these to the layout.

I hope you have enjoyed this little look at my last scrapbook club.

Happy stamping

Home

Hi there,

We have had a hugely busy day today in the Johnston household. It started out bright and early with young Mr Sam waking up at 5.30 (I know!! and I am so not a morning person). We then spent the next few hours waiting anxiously to see if cricket would be cancelled or not.

Thankfully it wasn't and Zac's Under 12 team won their grandfinal match. I was so excited for the boys. They have worked hard and really deserved their win. Zac bowled really well and got two wickets with the last two balls of his over but then didn't get to come back on so we will never know if he would have got his hat-trick. Yes I am a very proud mumma.

Ben's team (under 9s) only had two people in their opposition turn up so they had a muck around game for the last of the season. Ben has really enjoyed his first season of cricket and he has improved so much.

After cricket it was home for a few hours to prepare for Ben's 9th birthday party which was at the Indoor Sports Centre ...so yes more running around and sweaty boys. They had a blast though.

Zac is now at his second birthday party of the day so before I pick him up (and then his sleepover guest) I have five minutes to share the fifth layout from scrapbook club.

This layout features the cute jumbo wheel "Neighbourhood".

I have used the wheel on Kraft cardstock to make the background paper and also to make the cute accents.

Here is a close up of some of the detail on the page.

I love this colour combo of navy, red, kraft and chocolate chip.

I still haven't added my photos to this page as I wanted some post renovation photos but of course 11 years after we started we still haven't finished. As my husband says, "You can't rush these things".

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time this weekend to create.

Happy stamping

Sweet

Our fourth layout for scrapbook club was "Sweet".

We used the Sweet Always paper (now retired) and Always stamp set. The heart and bird from this stamp set are just gorgeous.

Thanks for stopping by.

Time With Dad

The third layout from my last Scrapbook Club featured the gorgeous Sense of Time stamp set and heat embossing.

The colour scheme of Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Kraft, Basic Gray and Black was again drawn from the patterned papers we used (Urban Oasis from the last catalogue).

This was a simple layout that really put the focus on the photos.

Don't forget to check out this post for details on joining the next round of scrapbook club.

What a Hoot

Hello again.

Time to share the second layout from my 2010 Scrapbook Club (see yesterday's post for details on joining my 2011 Scrapbook Club).

This was a fun layout using chipboard and the Forest Friends Stamp Set. The colour scheme was drawn from the Urban Garden Designer Series paper.

These photos crack me up. Matt, Ben and Miss B had such fun pulling faces for the camera.

Thanks for stopping by.

Scrapbook Club 2011

I think I have well and truly had my share of issues with technology lately. My computer has died (again!!). My poor old DH had already rebuilt it once this year after some very nasty virus issues and this time around there was no reviving the poor old thing. So I now have a brand spanking new laptop which I absolutely love but we are still trying to retrieve my old files and pictures etc that were stored on the old computer.

To top it all off my camera died when we were on holidays last month and it has only just returned from the repairer. I was very lost without a camera. I don't think I realised just how often I used it.

But the good thing is that it is back and I can now share my projects with you again.

So firstly I have some layouts from the last Scrapbook Club I ran. I will share one each day from our last club so be sure to check back tomorrow.

The first layout is one of my favourites using Bella Rose Designer Series paper and the A Rose is a Rose Stamp Set (both of which are now retired).

We did a lot of stamping, cutting out and layering with the rose embellishments. We also used border punches and I have added in a cute hat pin and pearls from the Pretties Kit.

I am currently taking signups for my 2011 Scrapbook Club.

What is Scrapbook Club I hear you ask, well each club has 5 members and the club runs for 5 months. Each member agrees to place a minimum $60 order each month.

Each member gets to be Hostess one month and receive the hostess benefits from our order which will be a minimum of a Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set and $30 to spend in the catalogue.

Each month we will make a 12x12 layout. There will be a small materials fee of $5 for the layout kit which is a bit different to my last club but it will enable us to add more embellishments to the pages we make.

I will also be offering the Club layouts as a monthly scrapbook class for non Club members at a cost of $20.

Scrapbook Club is a great way to add to your stamp collection, create some layouts for your album while learning new techniques and have a great time out with new and old friends each month.

So be sure to contact me if you would like to join the 2011 Scrapbook Clubs.

Happy stamping
