Hello and Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop! Its a new year and so this is a perfect time to jump in see what all of our talented scrappers have come up with this month!
This month's hop uses a sketch theme... here it is:
I actually love sketch themes... I am always amazed at how everyone in the hop interprets the sketch differently. We all start with the same sketch, but the variety in projects is incredible!
Here is my layout:
Of course it really helps that this month we have BRAND NEW PRODUCTS to play with! I started with one colour... Petal Pink....as this was the colour featured in my daughter's formal dress (that she is wearing in my photo today). And lucky for me, its a colour that features quite prominently in our latest Occasions catalogue. I used Whisper White 12"x12" cardstock as my base, and then added LOTS of different elements... mostly in Petal pink! The printed vellum piece is Petal Pink, and of course I used Petal Pink cardstock as well. The gorgeous variegated ribbon is Petal Pink and white.... so a perfect match. I also added some Butterfly elements from our current Sale-A-Bration catalogue.... how cute are those!
There is just a little stamping on this page... I used the "oil spot" stamp from the Geared Up Garage set in my background. And I stamped the date and "Yr 10 Formal" with the Labeller Alphabet (one of my faves for scrapping!)... also with Petal Pink ink. The flourishes at the corners of the design are from the Beautifully Detailed laser cut paper..... which is Petal Pink on one side, and white on the other (so you can make it any colour!).... its so easy to use! And last - but most certainly not least - I used a little of the Grapefruit Grove foil paper (another SAB item) for the title "Friends" and also as an accent to the right of the picture.
I love how Stampin'Up makes it easy to co-ordinate colours and products! It was one of the first and main reasons I switched to SU..... the whole co-ordination aspect make everything just work!
