August Scrap Club Layouts

 

 For my August Scrap Club layouts, I used the Passages kit.  I love the rich, timeless feel of these papers - they are just gorgeous!  Colors in this kit are Garden Green, Brown Bag, Cocoa, Barn Red and Colonial White.  I used the Happy Journey and State of Mind stamp sets.  Embellishments are from the Antiqued Copper Mini Medley collection and some Antiqued Copper brads.

New Summer Idea Book Cards Part 2 - Day 2

Here's another card using the Passages kit.  The colors are so rich and yummy in this kit - it really reminded me of something masculine and outdoorsy, so I used this card for a father's birthday card.  This card showcases all of the colors in this kit - Barn Red, Cocoa, Garden Green, Brown Bag and Colonial White.  I honestly felt that I could never use Brown Bag in a project ever and be just fine, but I think it compliments this color combo in a very rich and vibrant way - it's perfect.  I used the May 2010 SOTM, Cherish The Moment again - I love it's tag/frame/checklist format and it works well for the theme I used for this card.  The letters "Dad" are stamped with the Friendship Small Alphabet stamp set and I added a couple of antiqued copper brads and a arrow photo clip.  On my bracket embellishment, I used the new Pizazz resist chipboard for the accent - I love these - you just take a sponge dauber with your ink pad, fill it up with your ink color and sponge it on the chipboard and it has little designs that resist the ink and remain white - how cool is that?  They are on page 95 of the new idea book for only $4.95.  I tied some Cocoa ribbon and Colonial White waxy flax on the bracket, and it's done!  Come back tomorrow for another new card!

New Summer Idea Book Cards Part 2 - Day 1

I've got some more new cards for you using the paper packets from the new Summer 2010 idea book.  Today, my card uses papers from the Passages pack.  I LOVE this pack so much more now that I've worked with it.  It was one of those when I saw it in the catalog, I thought - hmmm, that's nice and all, but I've seen the likes of it before (updated Vintage Travel pack) is what I was thinking.  Well, now that I've used it and made some projects with it, I love all of the papers, both front and back sides!!  This is a 6x6 card and the colors on the photo really don't do it justice.  I used the back side of the plaid B and T paper, along with the map paper.  I used Cocoa ribbon (love this one!), Bamboo bigger brads and the stamps are from the May 2010 SOTM Cherish The Moment and the bird stamp is from Childhood Portrait.  The colors are Colonial White, Cocoa, Garden Green and Bamboo.  Come back tomorrow for another new card!
