Two cards and a layout for Scrapbook.com National Scrapbooking Day and one of those cards is for Power Poppy's Hues to Use Challenge.
Party Time Stamp Set from Power Poppy was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink (Memento) on Neenah Classic Crest 110lb and colored with Copic Markers. Happy Birthday from Hero Arts Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut was also stamped on Neenah with Versafine Ink. It was sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder (Ranger). The background is a Bold Confetti Die (Hero Arts), the colored image was cut with Stitched Rectangles Die (Stamps of Life) and the sentiment was all run through my trusty Big Shot (Sizzix). The colored image and sentiment are raised with scotch foam tape. This for the Die Cut Challenge.
This card was made with Written in the Stars and Die-namics Shining Stars. The background is made with Distress Oxide Inks (Ranger). This challenge was to show your style. Mine is sparkly and colorful!
This is for the Live Love Laugh Challenge - using lots of embellishments. These papers are from Echo Park. My Grandson is quite a bit younger here. I did manage to stitch on the side with Sew Easy Tool.
Hope you are all spending time crafting today! Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

Sometimes you just seem to "click" with a group. This layout is about one of those groups. Ellie (my daughter #3) and these young ladies have been fast friends for many years. They get together regularly for "girls night" which sometimes includes photos. Love those photos!
I found the background paper a while ago so I don't remember where I got it and it doesn't have any info on the back (so sorry). It seemed so perfect for this layout that I took care to let some of the special meaning words show. A teeny tiny border allowed me some journaling space and not detract from the design. It's hard to see but the banner has a stitched line. After stitching I realized that maybe I should have done the straight line on the back so the front side would show a thicker line. So, that's one thing to remember the next time I want a wider stitched line.
Yep, that's my girl on the bottom :)
Bazzill Stitch Templates totally rock! My best friend got me some for my Birthday. This was my saving grace this past week. My youngest Daughter ended up having surgery on Monday. Waiting for Doctors and tests and surgery was hard on me but having something to do with my hands helped me - a lot!!! This layout has over 600 stitches on it. I jazzed up each flower with stickles, gems and inked edges. Some of them are raised with pop dots.
My local Michaels store had some new Martha Stewart Border punches so I took advantage of that 50% off coupon via the Oprah show! Thank you Martha and Oprah!!! This layout has French Scroll and Laurel Leaves punches on it.
