***One more week until my 1st Blogiversary and a major giveaway to one of you!
No heckles or jeckles please! I know what you are thinking...."Scrap-booking?" Yes, and long over due! It was one of my Creative Resolutions...to get back to doing some very overdue layouts. I don't want my kids to start having kids before I finish their school scrapbooks. Aside from coloring in books, scrap-booking opened the door to my paper crafting about 16 years ago, and I'm only about 5 years behind!

I've not added pictures yet to this, as it will hold the photos from this school year for my daughter. She has entered the land of Jr. High. Help me!!! She loves it though, and that makes me so happy!

| Using the Graphic 45 ABC Primer papers, I misted Dylusions Ink Spray. |
 |
| Dylusions Stencils and more Ink Spray were used on top. |
 |
| Dylusions stamps using the Letters and Numbers were stamped in Archival. |
 |
| More stamping, this time using Border images, then highlighting them with a white pen and Dylusions Ink Spray inside of water brushes. Then I stamped the girl and house images onto Specialty Stamping Paper and colored them in with the water pens and Distress Markers. Two G45 borders were added as well. |
I am conveniently (;D) submitting this to Inspiration Journal's monthly challenge of "ABC 123 School Time Fun", the Sunday Stamper's challenge of "Masks/Stencils", and the challenge at Simon Says Stamp & Show is "For The Love Of Sparkle".

ReplyDeleteThis is far from "just" scrapbooking! Oh, how wonderful! Love how you use the colors and stencils. (I finished my sons' life albums when they finished high school....just in time to start albums for culinary school and college, respectively! They are "plain Jane" scrapbooks compared to yours.)
ReplyDeleteStunning pages Anita x hope to get some crafty time today too. TFS as always. Crafty hugs Annie x

ReplyDeleteYou make scrapbooking look good! These are more like beautiful journaling pages than scrapbooking pages. I love them! I'm sure your daughter will cherish her book.
ReplyDeleteWow~!~ That is stunning! I also am waaay behind on my scrapbooking. What a great idea to incorporate your stamping/journaling supplies into a scrapbook. I am sure it will be a treasured album for many many years. Thanx for the inspiration

Awesome, Anita. This puts a whole new twist on scrapbooking and elevates it to an art form!
ReplyDeleteLove how you've Dylusion'd G45!! You're making me want to scrap with paper instead of digi...LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Love all of those beautiful colors! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! This is over the top fabulous!! I've only used my Dylusion Ink sprays in my art journal and on tags, I MUST try them out on Scrapbook pages! I've neglected my scrapbooking because I felt like I was in a rut. Thank you for the much needed inspiration!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I love it!! I just met Dyan Reavley last night and am taking a class with her Sunday making a 24x24 canvas - can't wait!! Aren't her products the bomb?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun & colorful pages and no doubt you'll be all caught up before they finish school. Just in time to start some for future Grandkids .LOL
ReplyDeletehugs Lynn
I love, love, love this. Recently invested in the sprays and some of the same stencils and stamps BUT seeing what you have done here I NEED more!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fusion of vintage G45 with modern colors and images. It is just so playful! I never would have thought of doing this, but I am so glad you did!
ReplyDeletetotally gorgeous!! love!!
