Summer Scrap book page

A couple of simple pages featuring some great nature shots taken at the lake house. Backgrounds were pre printed. Sentiments and letter tags were items I have had in my stash.

A card

You know I really have to get better at keeping "recipes" or posting my projects while I still remember how I did them.


This was a card I did for Monique.

I used the creative memories Oval cutter and paper tape. The word on the front came from the cricut cart I think Geographically Speaking but don't hold me to that.

I used Vellum paper through the laser printer for the sentiment.

Summer Scrap book page

A 2 page spread featuring the title done with Thickers letters. I have got a ton of mileage from these. Sometimes having to alter the letter to make a new letter. I used the creative memories tearing tool to use 1 sheet of 12 x 12 printed paper over the 2 pages and still have a good size chunk left over. Embellishments with viva decor pen and some stickers from my stash. Rounded some corners and used the Creative Memories oval cutter on the one photo and matted it in red.

Summer Scrap book page

An easy page to put together. I found a poem years ago in the local paper written by Jack Torres and I immediately thought about how I could use this on a campfire page. It just goes to show that inspiration can come from the strangest places. I featured only clips from the poem on the page. I used a Journaling template I had in my stash. Enhanced it with bic fine tip markers and viva decor on the corners. The moon in the upper right was pre printed on the page ( don't remember the page company) and I enhanced the moon with some iridescent glitter glue. All and all I am pleased with the way it came together.

I featured my Niece Emma's homework assignment about what you did this summer. Her story is complete with misspellings and in her hand writing. A true treasure for sure. Used some stickers I had and embellished with a viva Decor pen. It just goes to show that Journaling on a scrap page can come in many forms.

I used the creative memories trimmer to get the wavy border, CM corner rounder, And large circle cutter.

Summer Scrap book page

I did this page last weekend at my scrap retreat in Hyannis MA. I used the Creative Memories clip it tool to line up with photos to get the gutters between all the pictures the same. The layout features Creative Memories Primary Summer Additions. I used the Megan Gravner method of cutting and pasting the base 12 x 12 layout. It gets you a ton more Mileage from a sheet of paper. The sticker comes in the Additions kit. The button and thread were just item in my mixed bag tote ( who knows whats in there and how it gets there). I thought the white background was a little dull, so I used a small Pumpkin Ink pad from stamping at. I purchased a set of 12 small ink pads at a "yard sale" held at the crop for about $4.00, (most of them had not even been opened) Anyway I just randomly brushed the Ink on the page before glued down the yellow mat. Of course I finished the page with the Blue Viva Decor paper pen that came in the Sept Kit. As a side line I love these pens so much I ordered 5 more from Customcrops.com and they came in the mail today. Woot.
