Ink and Share Scrapbook Blog Hop Butterfly Gala

July 31, 2019July 31, 201911 Comments

Welcome to the Ink and Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. We are Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators showcasing our fabulous products on scrapbook pages. Artistic license is the theme this month. Anything in the current annual catalog can be used to create our layouts. If you are on the hop trail, you may have arrived from Annette Ball’s blog. She had a great layout!

I highlighted the Magnolia Lane designer series paper along with the current butterfly stamp set and punch. Pretty Pink for background and photo mats makes this layout ideal for documenting vintage photos.

the supplies used…I see I forgot to include the circle punches in the photo. I used the 2 and 2 1/4 inch circle punches.

Did you know that we sell 12×12 inch solid color scrapbooking papers? It’s sold in assorted color packages which makes it nicely packaged for your scrapbooking needs. A few sheets of each color are included in a package. Plus our designer series papers are (mostly) sold in the 12×12 inch size as well.

Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you like about my layout by leaving a comment.

So what to do with all the new pretty papers, rolls of ribbons and ever so lovely embellishments? You could create some greeting cards to share with friends but then you would not have them to enjoy in years to come.

How about joining me to scrapbook our favorite photos using our favorite paper and embellishments?? On future rainy days, we can pull out the books, enjoy the stories behind the photos and remember times of past. I’ll do the page prep work, you add your photos and stories.

Each month will feature a different theme using our coordinating cardstock and embellishments. You will create 3, 2 page 12×12 inch layouts. I provide all the supplies to create the layouts in kits according to the samples.

You provide your favorite adhesives. I recommend a tape runner, glue dots, tear n tape and dimensionals. I’ll have new packages of adhesives available if you forget yours or need to replenish your supply.

Below are 2 designs from the August session. The third design will be featured on the Wednesday Scrapbook Blog Hop. Check back Wednesday for that layout using Magnolia Lane dsp.

Session dates are Monday, August 19th, 6:30-8:30pm and Wednesday, July 21th, 9:30-11:30am. Please RSVP and prepay $25 by August 5th since I will need to order papers for you.

If you prefer a different time, just ask! I might be able to accommodate your request. Carol is hosting us for the Monday session at her apartment’s community room. She lives about a mile from me. The Wednesday session is at my house.

Scrapbook Days through the end of 2019 are September 18th, October 16th, November 20th, December 18th. Commit to 6 consecutive days and receive a thank you scrapbook layout at the December 18th Scrapbook Day.

Welcome to the Ink and Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. We are Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators showcasing our fabulous products on scrapbook pages. If you are on the hop trail, you may have arrived from Sharon Dalton’s blog. She had a great layout!

Bella and Friends is soon to be retired. So I wanted to officially use it one more time. It will stay in my retired stamp stash though. All the doggie themed stamps do:)

Use the word bubble ovals to add what you are thankful for.

Our heart epoxy droplets (item number 148583) are perfectly sized to fit the heart tag on Bella’s collar. The droplets also feature a medium and large size too. All 3 sizes are included in the package.

the supplies used…

Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you like about my layout by leaving a comment.
