Artistic Etchings Scrapbook Pages
Yesterday I shared with you the Artistic Etchings scrapbook pages we made in this month's scrapbook club. As a follow-up to that share, I wanted to show you what one of the pages looks like with some photos popped in. I had some black and white photos in a shoebox of my daughter Tiffany's wedding during the father-daughter dance. They look perfect on this page! I haven't filled it in yet, but the little "Take Note" oval is a perfect place to put the date or a bit of journaling. (This is the left side of a 12 x 12 layout. Scroll down one post to see the other side.)
This is a super-easy scrapbook page to put together. The Love Letter DSP and coordinating stamp set, Artistic Etchings, do all the work! I used the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet letters (die cut with the Big Shot) for my title. They make quick work of a title and are also a perfect size for scrapbooking. I sponged them just a bit with Soft Suede Classic Ink to bring some aging. I wanted them to look…well, timeless! The Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon brings some softness as well as depth of color (did you know that Cherry Cobbler is the darker counterpart to Riding Hood Red–check it out on the Color Coach).
Supplies:
Stamps: Artistic Etchings, Notably Ornate
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pads
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla Basic Black Card Stocks, Love Letter Designer Series Paper

Scrapbook Pages
In this month's Scrapbooking Hostess Club, we made this great layout of two 12 x 12 scrapbook pages. They have lots of "Wow!" factor but are really easy to make in very little time. The Love Letter DSP (designer series paper) and coordinating Artistic Etchings stamp set do all the work! The Seam Binding Ribbon adds great texture and softness. We had so much fun making these pages! (Click on the photo to get a larger view.)
The Real Red, Basic Black, and Very Vanilla color scheme is classic and timeless just like our title. You could go in many different directions in choosing photos for this layout. One of my club members just took a trip to Paris, so she is using this as the beginning and springboard for her trip photos. Any black and white photos, recent or old, would look great in this layout. I have some black and white photos from my daughter's wedding that look great in here. Anything that is timeless in nature fits the bill, here.
May is National Scrapbooking Month. Join me for my free Open Crop in San Antonio. Full details are here. It's free, it's fun, and you will go home with completed projects! Get in on the fun of scrapbooking. If you haven't yet started, come to my Open Crop and I'll show you how.
