Here’s a great article on scrapbooking! I’ll be back tomorrow with a very belated Tool Time Thursday!!!
I began my paper crafting adventure many, many years ago with scrapbooking (back when stickers were all the rage – man we’ve come a long way), but I was reminded of its importance at Stampin’ Up! Convention 2012. One of our speakers who came to speak about Gen Y, Jason Dorsey, talked about how moved he was when his mother gave him a scrapbook about his grandfather after his grandfather had passed away. It served as a poignant reminder of the importance of keeping and preserving memories for generations to come. Many of the demonstrators in the audience were moved to tears – me included! If you’ve never scrapbooked before – our My Digital Studio digital designing program is a super easy way to do so. Stampin’ Up! offers a FREE 30-Day trial of our newest software MDS2 – check it out HERE.
Many Benefits to Scrapbooking
by Carole DeJarnatt
The scrapbooking hobby has been around for a long time and people do it for a variety of reasons. If you are an outsider to the world of scrapbooking, then you will not understand until you experience the craft the many reasons a person invests so much time and energy into a scrapbook page.
When I was first introduced to scrapbooking via my church family, I told them I had neither time nor energy to invest in creating pages of photos matched up with paper and cute little embellishments. I thought those people were crazy staying up all hours of the evening, dragging around tons of supplies, just to sit and create scrapbook pages. One evening I was invited to a scrapbook night and I agreed to come with the intent of visiting and watching. No scrapbooking for me. I was a business professional who could not imagine investing time or energy into something I felt was for stay-at-home moms or those who had nothing better to do.
Little did I know I was about to change my mind and attitude…during the evening of socializing and viewing all the pages of creation, something changed in me. One person in particular needed help with color coordinating and matting her photos. I started working with her and ended up finishing her page for her. The scrapbooking bug bit me and it bit hard! The very next day I was out buying all the essential tools to create my very own pages of photos.
What is it about scrapbooking that captures so many people’s devotion and attention?
- Focus–You lose your focus on everything except for the scrapbook page you are working on. You forget the world exist for a few moments and you focus on nothing but what is in front of you.
- Creativity–All it takes is a sheet of paper and a few ideas to get your creative juices going. Whether the ideas are from a magazine, your surroundings, or the scrapbook paper held in your hand; the end result is pure enjoyment.
- History–When I think of a scrapbook, to me it is the history of the day, moment, or event. The page was created for future generations to learn of their family.
- Expressing myself–The scrapbook is made by someone and that in itself is a source of pride and joy. The feeling you get from completing, giving, or sharing your scrapbooks is indescribable.
- Giving–When working on a scrapbook layout, you are giving your thoughts, feelings, and memories to an event to share with others. The joy you feel when others express pleasure and enjoyment from your work is worth all the time and energy.
Scrapbooking has become so sophisticated you do not even need to leave the comfort of your home to get started. If you are experienced with computer programs such as Photoshop Elements, your tools are at the tips of your hands. If you prefer traditional scrapbooking, you still have the ability to order supplies and tools at the comfort of your home and within days you will be completing your own scrapbook.
People today have a variety of reasons for making their own scrapbooks and/or creating creations of beauty with their supplies. The majority of my experience has been to create something to share with future generations. People want to be remembered and through a scrapbook their lives are shared.

Hi there! I hadn’t used my Ornament Keepsakes stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalog so I inked that up for this Christmas card, featuring the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper. The paper coordinates with Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla so those are the main colors I used, but I also added in some Certainly Celery which I picked up from the polka dotted pattern. After I’d already glued the patterned papers down, I wished I had put the polka dotted paper in front but too late! There is also a bit of glitter on the main image – I used my Two-Way Glue Pen to apply dots within the ornament’s design and then put some of the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on it before the glue dried! So pretty in real life – sorry you can’t see it in the picture very well. Also I attached the tiny sentiment with a Vintage Trinket safety pin – I’ve had them for a while but I’ve used the brads and not the pins…gotta use the pins more as I LOVE the look on this card! I pinned it through the seam binding ribbon, which is my favorite ribbon to tie into a bow – very easy to manipulate and not heavy so this card should still be mailable. However, the number of layers on this card might make it over the weight limit!!! 🙂 I hope you enjoyed my first challenge card I’ve done since having a blog. Combining so many challenges, really forced me to stretch my creativity and I LOVED it!!! But I didn’t get my Tool Time Thursday video done yet so I’ll work on that!
This card was entered into challenges at: My Time to Craft, Papertake Weekly, Mojo Monday, Forever Friends, 365 Cards, Stamp-n-Doodle, House of Gilli, Craft Your Days Away, Whimsy Inspirations, No Matter Which, Whoopsie Daisy, Just Some Lines, and Paper Crafting Journey.

I’m pretty late on the video posting tonight! I apologize but I haven’t felt well for the past couple of days. I hope you enjoy this tip – I know it sure helps me!!! The tip is important as it is how I keep from losing or misplacing any of my stamps! I also give you a tiny peek into my Stamp Studio to show you how and where I store my stamps as well (please excuse the video at that point…it looks a little like I filmed it onboard a ship! I will get my better/taller tripod next time I need to do this type of video). Having well-organized stamp storage will help you cut down on the amount of time you spend crafting, card making, or scrapbooking as you can find your stamps so easily!
I spent quite a few of my office hours working on bringing you some fresh ideas and new projects through challenges! I hope for it to be something you all really enjoy as it will get me to expand my creativity. Check back for that – hopefully tomorrow!!! 🙂
Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend! Today’s card is another Convention 2012 swap but this one is a bit different. This one is a CASE card (Copy and Share Everything) – one of the organized swaps I signed up for was all about copying either something out of the catalog or another SU! demonstrator’s work. I CASEd this card from the fabulous Becky Roberts although I did change out the paper and a few embellishments as hers was made during Sale-a-Bration last year!!! It features the super cute and super popular Mixed Bunch stamp set! At Leadership 2012 last January, SU! told us that this is the #1 selling stamp set! Doesn’t surprise me at all with that matching punch that makes super cute and easy cards a SNAP!!!

“But I’m not creative…” That short phrase is probably one I hear more than any other as a demonstrator! I hear it at classes I teach, at workshops, and in the community when I tell people what I do and say they can do it too! Creativity is a tricky thing – I understand not feeling creative! I know some of my peers have more creativity in their pinky finger than I do in my entire body. But I love doing what I do, so my response is always the same! You don’t have to be creative to create things and to enjoy the process!
This card is a GREAT example of that! I used a color combination from the Stampin’ Up! Color Coach #120148 (a GREAT tool – in fact I did a video on it a while ago that I will link HERE): Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi, and So Saffron!!! Gorgeous! This ended up being my favorite swap card I made for Stampin’ Up! Convention 2012! We also made this card shortly before I left for Convention in my Crazy about Techniques class as it uses the Faux Linen technique! This technique is an oldy but a goody!!! You use glossy card stock and sand it horizontally and vertically until the gloss is worn off, then sponge and stamp it and sand it more if you want until you get the desired result!!! LOVE IT! The layout is one I took from an old Mojo Monday challenge (I LOVE to print their monthly ones and then page through them when I’m creating – I rarely participate in a challenge in real time. I just found it and it was from Week 2 of Mojo Monday!!! Really really old!) I also LOVE the Field Flowers stamp set! (I do wish I had it in Wood-Mount though so I could make permanent vellum sheets to use with the Stamp-a-ma-jig!) And I used Teeny Tiny Wishes – my go-to stamp set as it includes every greeting I could need! (This card would be great for any occasion – just switch out the greeting!!!) I most always punch it out with the Word Window punch as I have here – super easy, cute and will fit anywhere on any card!!! I used another favorite of mine from SU! – background stamps!!! I LOVE them and they are a favorite of mine. I almost always make a card with either a background stamp or a background embossed with a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Big Shot! Anyway enjoy!!! Let me know if you have any questions!!!

Hi there! Another one of my Convention swaps today, but this one is a Christmas card! How many of you make your own Christmas cards? I’ve never gotten it done before (always great intentions), but this year I’m going to do it!!! For a lot of us, that means starting early! I’m going to start next month with a series of card making classes – I plan to make the same ones as my customers and then get them done right after the class is over! You know what they say, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” so I’ve made a plan!
Anyway, back to the card! It uses the gorgeous new In Color, Gumball Green with a favorite of mine, Cherry Cobbler! The color combination was “stolen” from the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper in the 2012-2013 Catalog. This card would look gorgeous in many other color combos as well! You could even add some glitter too! The Very Vanilla panel is embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – I apologize that you can’t see it very well in the photo! I added 2 of my favorite things that I use on nearly every card to finish it off: Basic Rhinestone Jewels and ribbon! In this case I did a really simple ribbon treatment, just tie a knot in your Cherry Cobbler 1/2″ Scallop Dots Ribbon about 2″ down and then measure it against the panel and cut it to the right length. Wrap the ends around the back of the panel and scotch tape them onto the card stock so they don’t move! So easy, especially if you’re mass-producing and struggle with tying bows or knots. (Check out my “Tying the Perfect Knot” Video from this week for help if you struggle with that!)

The third time, I even show you what to do if your ribbon is one-sided and you want a certain side only to show. Enjoy!

Hi there! Today I’m going to do a countdown of my 10 most favorite things in the Holiday Catalog that Stampin’ Up! released on August 1st! If you don’t have these, you will want to before the Holiday Catalog expires on January 2, 2013!!! Click on any of the links by the product names to see them in my Stampin’ Up! store for more info and prices!
10. Snow Festival Designer Printed Tags (128152)– So so cute and affordable! For only $3.95, you get 25 double sided tags that you can stamp or write on and then put on any of your holiday presents! Or, take an idea from Stampin’ Up! Convention and use either side of the tag to make a cute, fast, and fun holiday card! (Also great for scrapbook pages – but do note that while they are acid-free, they don’t say anything about being lignin-free.)
9. Owl Occasions Stamp Set (Wood-Mount 128000, Clear-Mount 128003) – Owls have been a hot trend for a little while now and this stamp set fits right in! The best thing about this stamp set is how versatile he is! Dress him up as Santa, put some pastel presents and the balloon in his hand for a baby shower, let him party the night away as a Birthday greeter, or simply put him unadorned on his little branch for a scrapbook page or card appropriate for any occasion! This stamp set also comes with a “To: From:” stamp so he is also useful for tag making!!!
8. Toxic Framable Digital Designer Template (128139)– At $3.95, this download is so much fun and affordable for Halloween decor in your home! Customize it to your own colors if you would like before printing and framing this super cute, trendy subway art!
7. 3-1/2″ Scalloped Tulle Ribbon (Cherry Cobbler 127841, Crumb Cake 127840, Early Espresso 127839)- Coming in 3 scrumptious colors, this makes a great addition to cards and scrapbook pages, as well as your holiday gift wrapping needs!
6. Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (126906)– Using this at one of my Convention classes really opened my eyes to its versatility. While I LOVE it for Halloween projects, it is so great to be able to use the monochromatic designs for ANY other projects!!!
5. Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies (129021) and Festive Paper-Piercing Pack (127857)– I’m kind of cheating again by combining two products! I was thrilled to open the Holiday Catalog and see another basic shape framelits and to have a piercing template to match! If you didn’t know it already, the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack from the 2012-2013 Catalog is my very favorite item so naturally I was thrilled to see this one that coordinates with the Labels Collection Framelits that I already had! Also love that it coordinates another Holiday Catalog Framelits set – Holiday Ornaments.
4. Ornament Keepsakes Bundle (Wood-Mount 129949, Clear-Mount 129950) – This bundle includes the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set and Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies at a 15% discount! It was used to create the breathtaking ornament on the front of the Holiday Catalog…’nough said!!!
3. Core’dinations Card Stock (Cherry Cobbler 127846, Early Espresso 127848, Gumball Green 127847), Stampin’ Sanding System (129367), and Core’dinations Dust Buddy (129366) – WOW! I grouped these together as they all have to do with this amazing card stock where you can sand away the exterior (in Stampin’ Up! colors) to get a lighter version of the color below. Gorgeous when paired with any of the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders and the Big Shot!
2. Border Banter Stamp Set (Wood-Mount 128927, Clear-Mount 128930) & 7/8″ Cotton Ribbon (127844) – I LOVE the idea of making my own custom ribbon! The Border Banter Stamp set is great as it has words to stamp on the ribbon for Christmas and Halloween as well as “Congratulations”, in addition to 3 decorative borders that can be used at any time of year!!! Pull out your Classic Stampin’ Pads and create ribbon in any color/pattern you want!
1. Perfectly Preserved Bundle (Wood-Mount 129943, Clear-Mount 129944) – This includes the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set and Cannery Set Framelits Dies at a 15% discount! This was my absolute must have stamp set from the Holiday Catalog! I LOVE the variety and how useful this stamp set can be all year long! Also, the apple & stem stamp and die are FANTASTIC for teacher gifts, thank yous, or other projects!
So that’s the end, but there are so so many things I left out: the THREE new embossing folders and the super cute Ghoulish Googlies Bundle! Man! Oh and those Frightening Feline and Frosty Friends single stamps – LOVE THEM TOO!!!
Leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite product is from the Holiday Catalog!!!

Hi there! I’m sorry I didn’t get a post done yesterday. I’m up here in Lincoln, Nebraska helping my mom run her annual garage sale. We’ve had a great time spending time together this week! I am so blessed to have my family!
Anyway, today’s card is another of my Convention 2012 swaps. The first stamp set that I had to have out of the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog was Papillon Potpourri! I LOVE any of our stamp sets that match with our punches and I was thrilled with the addition of the Elegant Butterfly punch to our punch lineup! I used a bright color combo that I took from the International Bazaar Designer Series Paper (126920) – LOVE IT! You also might recognize this card from this week’s Quick Tip Tuesday as I showed how I did the ribbon in a quick-and-easy way in that video. Enjoy and let me know in the comments section about anything you’d like to see as a blog post!!!
