Stamps Ahead

Here is a card I have made for a lucky couple travelling shortly. The card uses stamp sets - Office Accoutrement; World Tour and Be Happy. Images: © 1990-2007 Stampin' Up! ® Artwork: Margaret L Crawford

This page was inspired by a layout in Creating Keepsakes August, 2007 magazine. It is a great layout that you can use several photographs on. I have used Stampin' Up! ® Simply Scrappin' Tickets and Tokens kit. Images: © 1990-2007 Stampin'Up Artwork: Margaret L Crawford

I have decided to get all my China photographs onto scrapbook pages this week. My journalling says: Climbing the Great Wall I passed rows and rows of locks of various sizes with mainly red ribbons attached. Couples announce their love for each other as they hang their lock and then they throw away the key, in the hopes that their love will last for as long as the Great Wall. Stamp Sets used were Artifacts and Everyday Flexible Phrases. The sun caught the page just as I was photographing it and if you look closely towards the top left you will see a friendly ant, making itself at home on Sahara Sand paper.

Last night I got creative and completed a couple of sketch challenges over at Elite Stampers. The first was a card and the second a scrapbook page layout: Images: © 1990-2007 Stampin' Up! ® Artwork: Margaret L Crawford Stamp Set: All about U & Bodacious Jumbo Wheel Images: © 1990-2007 Stampin' Up! ® Artwork: Margaret L Crawford Stamp Sets: Symbols of Solicitude, Pure & Simple Alphabet Lower This is a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout, I like how the spot paper gives the appearance of shining lights along the Bund in Shanghai.
