6 x 6 Layout - Urban Oasis Stampin' Up! Designer Paper




I really love this layout, Maybe his face could have been a little more to the left of the page, so his features are on a 1/3 intersecting point (for maximum visual impact). But overall this page came together in only about 20 minutes.
Paper: Urban Oasis
Stamps: Short & Sweet
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate chip
Other: Curly Label Punch (Bundle), Scallop Edge Punch, Photo Corner Punch
Hodgepodge hardware, Mat Pack, choc chip grosgrain ribbon, white uni-ball

Mini Scrapbook Album... our family



This is a little pocket scrapbook album that I made for my dear mother in law.  

I showed all the girls at our regular church stamping group, and now everyone is set to make one in the next few weeks. I will be running classes from my home - small groups only, as it's easier to work in small groups when the projects become a little more involved.  

I can't wait to start, I actually want to use the same photos and make one for my Mum, will be interesting the different look using different paper., The designer paper in this photo is a discontinued designer paper called Afternoon Tea, however I feel very inspired to to use some of the stunning new release papers. 

For this project we are going to  be using  Bella Rose, Bella Bleu, and Urban Garden.  If you feel inspired to come and share a morning or afternoon with us to make one of these darling little albums for yourself please contact me I'm sure we can work around dates.  I will be running 2 or 3 of these classes next month.

This is the first page of the little Album, I started with our eldest child... our daughter Holly







This is our middle son Thomas
He's the sensitive one but also the
most adventurous ...











Our youngest son is Nick, very cheeky and a real little character













All the pages had little pockets either in the top or in the side, in which little caption cards were hiding.














Here are the little cards inserted into the pockets,
