As many of you know, my sister Christie moved to San Antonio in February. We came up with a great plan to make sure we get together each year - the Bluebonnet Trail Shop Hop! A shop hop is an event that local quilt shops host together. The goal is to go to all of the participating quilt shops over a weekend and sign up for prizes. If you go to all of the shops, you are registered for a big grand prize. We went to all 12 quilt shops over 2-1/2 days. It was a lot of fun - so I just had to scrapbook the experience!
Supplies:
8x8 scrapbook plus a few extra sheet protectors
1 pkg. SU designer series paper plus coordinating card stock and ink pads
SU Big Shot Die-Cut Machine
Circle punches
Scallop punch
Stamp sets: Circus Circus and Cheap Talk
How I did it:
Once I designed the layout for the scrapbook, I repeated it throughout. This makes for a fast and easy scrapbook.
I first cut all of the designer series paper into 8x8 sheets and cut the coordinating card stock into 8x8 sheets as well. With the remaining scraps of paper, I then used the Big Shot to cut the "Top Note", "Ovals", "Buttons", and "Birds and Blooms" shapes. I used the "Cheap Talk" stamp set and stamped birds on some of the oval shapes.
At this point, I still had usable scraps of the coordinating card stock so I used the coordinating ink pads and stamped circles from the "Circus Circus" stamp set. I punched these out with my scallop punch and circle punches. I also used the punches to punch circles and scallops out of the designer series paper. This enabled me to use every square inch of paper with no waste!
To assemble the scrapbook:
I layered photos and the shapes that I had cut or punched. Quick and easy!! Now for the results:
I love it! Especially when you used the top note die for the pic background.
