Another Layout from Saturday's Camp
Another one of the layouts we did Saturday night. The snowflakes are made using both of the tag punches to make a 'tag frame', and then gluing 8 frames onto vellum. Square parts of the frames are cut off, leaving you with a snowflake.

Holiday Punch Art/12x12 Scrap Layout
One of our layouts from Scrap Camp tonight. Looove this punch art! And ever since seeing this stop sign in the set "It's a Sign", I knew this was what I wanted to make with it.

Valentine 12x12 layout
The border and heart backgrounds are done using the smoosh-smash technique. (Place droplets of reinkers on one half of an acetate sheet. Close the sheet and smoosh the colors around. Open, and place white cardstock face-side-down on your colors.) This is a fun technique! Hearts from "Always" stamp set are then white-embossed and cut out.

Fun Foam Balloons!
This is such a fun technique-stamping your images into fun foam! Here we used a petal from the Pick a Petal Stamp set, and turned it into a set of birthday balloons! Simply heat the fun foam with your embossing gun until you see a slight change in its color (this only takes a few seconds), take the heat away and immediately press your stamp image into the foam. Hold the stamp there for a few seconds (while the foam cools to its new shape), and voila! Cut around your new foam image and mount.

Super Bowl page layout
I've been watching football all day, and thought I'd show you a 12x12 scrapbook page spread we did for last year's Super Bowl using the Just Football stamp set.
The field lines were made using the white uniball pen along the side of a ruler.
Football border was made by threading white grosgrain through brown eyelets.
We made the helmets representative of who was playing by coloring them with markers or the side of an ink pad. (Hard to see the Patriots helmet as the silver reflected the camera flash.) The logos were computer-printed and adhered.

Another Winter Scrap Layout
This is a page we did at a scrap camp last winter. We used the Neighborhood wheel, cut the houses apart, and inserted them into torn white snow drifts edged with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Winter Scrapbook Layout
I love this bottom border-it's representative of swirling snow! The pine tree from Lovely As a Tree was white embossed on Whisper White cardstock. Then the Stampin Around Jumbo wheel "Whimsy" was also white embossed. The background was then sponged with Bashful Blue. Finally, snowflakes were embossed on Bashful Blue cardstock, punched out using the 1/2" circle punch, and then pop-dotted onto some of the circles of the Whimsy wheel. Look closely-the Whimsy wheel was also used with white craft ink on the 12x12 Bashful cardstock for a background. You can just feel the snow swirling around!
