Scrappin' with Summer Silhouettes

By
I have a scrap book page to show you today made using the Summer Silhouettes stamp set - I love it so much!
I also have a great fondness for Crumb Cake card stock and so I used that as my base - take a look


My banners were actually scrap pieces - I just stamped and sponged them (much better than binning them don't you think?)
The photos are of my Grandma and Granddad - no longer with us now, Granddad passed away at Christmas so this was quite an emotional piece to do.
I will add some journaling later before I put it in my album.
Here's a close up


Aren't those flower heads stunning?
My little journaling tabs were made by inserting more scrap strips into  the Blossom punch half way so it only partially punches I think it gives an interesting shape and also uses up more scraps!

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Summer Silhouettes
Ink: Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Pumpkin Pie
Card Stock: Crumb Cake (12" x 12") Naturals Ivory
Accessories: Blossom Punch
(Unfortunately Sale-a-bration is now over however Stampin' Up still has a Summer Mini catalogue on the go as well as the Annual catalogue. Please feel free to place an order with me, I can have it delivered direct to your door. Please e-mail me or see all the details in the top tabs).

I am writing this and watching a film at the same time - it's Steel Magnolias. I've seen it loads of times and it always makes me cry - a lot. Guess I'd better go fetch a box of tissues!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
