January’s Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop Theme is My Guilty Pleasure! Chosen by Sharon Dalton.

We were to create a page reflection one of our guilty pleasures. One of mine is reading! Last year I read 30 books, this did not account for the DNF (did not finish) books I just couldn’t finish.

My page is a 12″ x 12″ Pool Party cardstock from the Snowy Days Scrapbooking Workshop. The stripes are from a retired DSP pack. I used the For the Books Stamp Set from the new catalog. With the stamps from that set, I stamped the books on white cardstock and using Blender Pens, I colors each book. I fussy cut the books.

After that was complete, I cut out 4 black and white circles using the Deckled Circles, that are retiring. I will add pictures to the circles at a later date. Then stamped 2 sentiments on white cardstock, to grace the page.

Using Pool Party Ribbon, now retired, to go across the striped DSP and add interest. In Pool Party Ink, I stamped a few pairs of glasses to create a tone on tone affect.

For my titles, I typed it on my computer as I don’t have dies to create a smaller title that would fit. It is printed in black ink.

For the embellishments, I used Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots, retired.

The paper clips are a non Stampin’ Up! product. The rest of the page is all Stampin’ Up! products.

This page was really fun to make. I hope you like it. Please visit the other Global Demonstrators pages to see what their Guilty Pleasures are by clicking on the names below. Thank you for following us!

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global September 2024 blog hop. I am so excited to be a part of this blog hop and so happy you joined us. This months our challenge was Anything Goes. We get to create a layout of our choice.

As part of the Scrapbooking Global design team we participate in a monthly blog hop and challenges. Anyone can join in if they’d like. We’d love to have you join us! Be sure to join the Scrapbooking Global – Stampin’ Up! Facebook Group so you will know when the sign up starts for the next blog hop. For my layout, I decided to create a layout for fall, being as we are nearing fall with all the colors arriving soon.

I used materials from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn to Remember Kit.

On the left layout: First I cut off 1/2″ on the top of the DSP. Then I cut the DSP at 6″ and marked on the right edge at 6″. Then I measured in 1″ from the top right side and ran a score line down to the mark at 6″. I did the same on the bottom up to the 6″ mark. I folded on the score lines. Then centered and glued the DSP to the base cardstock. After that I cut 8 strips of various DSP colors (from the kit) at various sizes (1/2″ and 3/4″). I glued them next to each other, overlapping some. Follow that I stamped various leaves in a variety of fall colors between the DSP fold and strips. Then I cut out a circle, approximately 3″, and stamped more leaves around the circle in fall colors. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of cardstock and fussy cut that. I adhered the sentiment using dimensionals.

For the photo place holders I cut (2) Crushed Curry cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 6 1/8″ and (2) at 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″. Then adhered them to the layout. I used blender pens to color 3 faux wood pieces from the Autumn to Remember Kit and adhered as desired. Then added the circle to overlap the DSP, in the center, with dimensionals. Finally I added 5 coordinating embellishments and used Wink of Stella on the faux wood pieces.

On the right layout: I did the same steps with the DSP sheet and strips. For this page I made a pocket using the Pocket Thoughts Dies, medium die, and adhered it with Tear N Tape. I took the journal piece from the kit and put it in the pocket. I used the sticker sentiment from the kit as well mounting it on Crushed Curry cardstock with dimensionals and then onto the 3″ circle stamped with leaves. Using dimensionals I centered the circle to overlap both sides. Using Crushed Curry cardstock I cut (3) 3 1/8″ squares for photo place holders and (1) 4 1/8″ square and adhered them as desired. Then colored 3 faux wood pieces from the kit and placed as desired. Lastly I added 5 embellishments to the page. And to make the faux wood pieces more fun looking I used Wink of Stella.
