Scrapbook Layout - Quilting Technique with Cheerful Treat

Scrapbook Layouts by Stephanie Wright, Aug. 2011

This is a sample layout I used to demonstrate during my Quilt In A Day card class; page made by my daughter.  I wanted to show that the technique could also be used in scrap booking.  In the first photo I made a 6 X 6 piece using the quilt technique and Stephanie cut it down to use as her first panel.  The DSP I used was Cheerful Treat DSP and you can earn it free with your hostess dollars for hosting a qualifying workshop!!

She continued the color combo and papers onto her second layout using a leftover piece of the quilt and an additional border piece using the Tasteful Trim Big Shot die.

Her title was made using a retired Stampin' Up Alphabet set.

Other embellishments adorn the page and were made from:  Daisies #2 die; Circle Circus stamp set, Button Buddies stamp set and Designer Buttons.

Here is the layout that she used; Dec 2008 Page Maps

GET WELL SOON SULLY!!

Here's my grandson Sully as he mends from his surgery at the children's hospital in Montreal, Quebec.  They ended up having to replace the artery...now just praying the artery and lungs heal as hoped.

Sully well enough to take a walk to the hospital terrace.

Making a Cars puzzle as he recoups.

The photos were taken by his mom.

I have finally sent off my 50+ thank you cards to the Ronald McDonald House in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  They will put them in their common room for families to use.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REUBEN!!! Under The Stars!!

Happy 5th Birthday Reuben!!

I just had to have this set when it first came out!!  I think this might be the third catalogue it has been in and this is the first time I have used it!  I'm so glad it (and the wood background stamp) made it to the new catalogue.  Maybe now I'll make the things I've been putting off for so long.  There are a couple of retired products on this card, but nothing that couldn't be substituted easily.  I painted the marshallow with white craft ink and sprayed it with a thin layer of acrylic sealer just to be safe.

And here's the birthday boy!  I cropped him out of a group photo so I could have a recent one of just him!  Resolution isn't great because I lifted it off of Facebook!!

Have fun making S'mores Reuben!!

LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Hugs & Kisses

SULLY

My grandson Sully in now in Montreal for his surgery.  He was born with Tetralogy of Fallot.  Four years later, they have discovered that his right pulmonary artery is completed blocked.  They are doing a roll technique to untwist the artery and put a stint behind it (I think I have it right?!)

Sully in Montreal back in Jan for his MRI

Sully getting ready for his MRI.

His surgery takes place tomorrow.  We are praying for you Sully!  LOVE YOU!!

Mischief

This piece was made over a year ago.  It features my grandson Sullivan.  I love this photo that his mother took.  He was two when this picture was taken; he is now four!

My first scrapbooked canvas piece.  These are all non-Stampin' Up! products (paper is Basic Grey).  I took a class from Sharon Reimer of the Scrapbook Cottage from Steinbach, Manitoba.  She comes to Red Lake once a year, brings her store and offers an array of classes and does an amazing job.  This was one of the classes that I took.  You chose your own papers, colors, embellishments from her stock and went at 'er.  All you needed to bring was a photo and any "personal" pieces you might like to add to your project.  Sharon and her staff were there to assist you in any choice dilemmas you might have.   Everyone's project was unique and it was so much fun seeing the great pieces that everyone produced.

The jean pocket was taken from a old pair of his jeans.  One of the reasons it has taken me so long to post this is because when it was hanging on his wall, the frog went missing!  Apparently, my canvas is titled quite appropriately!  It was the perfect little frog and it took me months to find a replacement (which happened to come from the bait section of Walmart)

The little clip at the bottom is suppose to hold a ticket with the year on it.  I never did get to it and now I've misplaced it.  That's what happens when you procrastinate!  Grrr.

Happy Scrapping!

Ribbon Class Cont'd....Scrapbook Layout Sample/Tag

This heritage page was designed to showcase the Shabby Ribbon Flower.  The page was done by my daughter Stephanie.  This is an original photo postcard taken in 1910 in Cobalt, Ontario of my grandmother.  Title will go near the top, with some more details at the very bottom.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! except the large piece of lace border.  The tag and background are spritzed with Shimmer Paint (and rubbing alcohol), which does not show in this photo.

Just a close up of the flower.  Participants made a tag with the same paper (or they could choose the reverse which had music notes on it) and a black flower.

Thanks for stopping by...

Simple Ribbon Flower cont'd....Scrapbook Layout and Samples

This layout shows a page using one of the flowers that appeared in my previous post.

Photo and page created by my daughter Stephanie; featuring two of my grandchildren, Andie and Sullivan.  It just awaits journalling!

She often gets her layouts from page maps (June 2009 shown here).

Designer Series Paper is retired Holiday Treasures

Her title is from the stamp set Welcome Christmas.  There is a little border of rub ons just below the photo.

In Andie's hair is a sweet flower I made from the 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon glued to a barrette with a real red corduroy brad for the centre.  I used 15" of ribbon for this flower; 7 1/2" for the 5/8" satin and grosgrain flowers.

A sampling of  1 1/4" striped grosgrain flowers.

This is the one used in Andie's hair!!  Just hot glue a barrette and you're done!

This brown one shows layering with another flower done in the crochet trim, embellished with a vintage brad.  I've also seen them embellished with the Designer Big Buttons - really cute.  I used corduroy buttons (some of which can still be found on the Clearance Rack) so that I could change them out once I decide what I would like to use them for.

Thanks and happy creating!!
