Hi Folks! Unfortunately, one of my best friends
is moving out to Connecticut (I say unfortunate, because we are in Chicago!) To
honor our friendship and all the fun times we've had together, another friend
organized a Farewell Scrapbook Album where each family made a scrapbook page or
two with some favorite photos.
I truly love how well the larger scale Winnie
& Walter stamps translate to scrapbooking, as well as card making. Double
the value! I've used The
Big, the Bold and Fun set for most of the pages here.
Whether it's for writing on the insides of
cards, or journaling on scrapbook pages, I often turn to the lined notebook
heart stamp from The
Write Stuff: Love Story. And how cool that the "fun"
fits right in the heart! The "love
this" circle stamp also gets a lot of use to fill in spaces and make
things look a little more interesting.
The other nice thing about using these stamps is
that you don't need a ton of journaling ... they do all the work for you! The
"party
on" goes so well with "play"
even though they're from different sets. Mix 'n Match, baby!!
The large script words also work well as a title
for additional journaling, should you have more to say. I love finding spaces
to use the smaller typewriter words, like "go.
see. do." or "summer"
to date the page.
Since I spent the better part of a day going
through my photos (I really need to get better about tagging people in
Photoshop!) I ended up with about 50 good pics that didn't make it onto a page.
Instead of just handing these extras to her, I made a fun envelope that matched
the scrapbook pages to put them in. A red belly band is the perfect place to
add a quick sentiment.
Great LO Kelly!! TFS!
