So far you got to see some of the cards I entered in the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Award contest.  Well I thought I would switch gears and show you a scrapbook page today.  I think this one is my favorite out of the three I made.

This is my niece Ally – isn’t she just Cute as a Button?

I have actually used these pictures before on another page.  They were fun and I had a whole bunch of her playing with this old hat.  I used one large picture for the focal point and then added the two smaller photos on the side.

The base is 12×12 Old Olive Textured card stock.  I used a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock and stamped it with the Manhattan Flower using Versa Mark ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  An easy way to create a tone on tone background.  The photos are framed with So Saffron card stock.

I used the Flower Daisies #2 die and the Big Shot to create the flowers.  There are multiple layers of the Sweet Pea Designer Series paper that was in the Occasions Mini catalog.  The centers are the little Chocolate Chip Epoxy brads – I love those!

The title was also cut with the Big Shot and the Go Go Boots Alphabet Sizzlits die set.  I use that one a lot in my scrapbooking because the letters are fun and different sizes.  I added the little designer button inside the ‘O’ – I thought it was a perfect little touch.

There are a couple of pieces of Pretty in Pink on the edges punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch that we had in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – but it will be back in the catalog on July 1st!  I added doodling on this page too like I did on the card I showed earlier. 

I used the Top Note die for my journaling.  I think that is probably where I lack on my scrapbooking is the journaling part.  I’m not a good writer so I only had a very small amount of writing on each page and that probably wasn’t enough for the judges – I needed to tell a better story on my pages.  I’ll have to work on that part this year.

I really liked this page and it was fun to create.  Maybe I will have to make a duplicate since I sent my only one to Stampin’ Up!.

Remember to visit this post to see some of the other talented demonstrators that submitted entries to the Artisan Award Contest but didn’t win.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I forgot to download my turtle pictures sorry about that.
