Scrapbooking with Stampin’ UP!

Don’t be intimidated by the thought of scrapbooking. It’s easy when you start small.  This scrapbooking technique is called ‘Build-A’Page’, or Scrapbooking 1-2-3, but whatever you call it, it’s a lot of fun, easy, and certainly very doable!

Part of our Christmas Vacation this year included a trip to our home-away-from-home in Durango Colorado with most of the boys, and Jack’s sweet wife Emily.   Since it was Emily’s first trip to Durango  I wanted to do some scrapbooking for family heritage memories.

Step 1: 6 x 6  page

I began with a 6 x 6  piece of Night of Navy.  Used the Starburst Jumbo wheel on a strip of Bashful Blue, a 1/4″ sliver of our Silver Glimmer Paper and created a focal point in the lower right corner with the Polka Dot Big Shot Embossing folder, circle punches and the snowflake punch to build a cute little snowman.  The photo is mounted on Whisper White and Basic Grey.  A trio of snowflakes from the Northern Frost Big Shot Decorative Strip hangs in the upper left corner to balance the page.

Step 2: 8 1/2 x 11 page


I  used an 8 1/2  x 11  sheet of Stampin’ UP!  Bashful Blue for this next step.  For texture I added a torn strip of Whisper White, curled on the torn edge, then added some Stampin’ UP! Dazzling Diamonds for sparkle.  Another element that was introduced with Step 2 was to add punched Basic Grey circles under another of the snowflakes from the Northern Frost Decorative Die Strip.  I wanted to extend my original 6 x 6  base by adding  a  6″ Night of Navy ribbon that is half of the Stampin’ UP! Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  It nicely mimics the snowflakes on the rest of the page.  A final addition for this step was a Mini Jingle Bell trio tied to a silver bow on the new picture that was framed like the previous one.

Any one of these steps are complete in itself.  You can make a lovely 6 x 6 album or if you prefer an 8 1/2 x 11.  You decide which best fits the occasion and your need.  You will be surprised at how easy it is to step-up your scrapbook pages with this technique.

Step 3:  12 x 12

I decided to bump the 8 1/2 x 11 page over to the left and add a matching second strip of white to it’s right side.  This leaves plenty of room for a journaling strip  and a couple of additional embellishments.

 

The same great Stampin’ UP! supplies you use in your card making are a perfect match for beautiful scrapbooking projects.

The 6 x 6 page was just one of the make & takes for my Stampin’ FUN class last week. We meet once a month, usually on the Third Tuesday, (it had to be moved this month because of the Stampin’ UP! Leadership Conference I attended)..    The class is offered at 9:30 a.m. till 11:30 a.m. and then repeated at 6:30 p.m. till 8:30 p.m.  If you’d like to give us a try just call or email and I can get you further details.

I’ll post the second make & take from class on Monday, so be sure to checkback, Until then Happy Stampin!
