Scrapbook Your Trips

This layout features the Sentimental Journey stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog.  It's a great set for scrapping as well as card making.  We made this 2 page, 12x12 layout in our Scrapbooking Hostess Club this month and really enjoyed putting it together.  The color scheme is derived from the coordinating Designer Series Paper, Travel Journal.  These pages are all ready to go.  Simply pop in 4-5 photos and you have a great showcase for some travel/trip pics.

Are you a scrapbooker?  Would you like to scrapbook but don't know how?  I have openings in my 2nd Thursday Scrapbooking Hostess Club beginning in July.  Contact me at 210-492-3218 or candy@sweetstamper.com for more information, and let's scrap together!

Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog

I am really enjoying using the Sentimental Journey stamp set and coordinating Travel Journal Designer Series Paper. I love its versatility and ease of use.  This card echoes my actions this week as I'm actually away from home, taking a mini vacation with my hubby.  I flew out very early this morning after packing suitcases yesterday.  You can see why this card is so appropriate for today's post!  I hope you enjoy today's card as well as greetings from California.  I'll be getting back home just in time to enjoy an Open House with my San Antonio area stamping friends.

Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog

Having shown you a Retro 60s card yesterday, I thought I would show you something totally different, using the same Sentimental Journey stamp set, for the Saturday Sample.  Here, I've paired it with the Travel Journal Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the stamps.  Did you notice the splotches of color, giving my main art piece a sort of aged, "experienced" look?  That's the brand new Smooch Spritz.  It comes in 4 colors, and I've used the Log Cabin here. 

I love the images in the Sentimental Journey stamp set.  You can change decades and mood with a switch of color and embellishments.  You can make it girly or manly, sleek or sturdy, polished or rugged, trendy or retro.  Now, that's versatility!
