A closer look at the special edition collections from the Club Scrap Retreat!

Club Scrap's 2017 Retreat season wrapped up this month and I am thrilled to share some of my creations made with the Special Edition Collections.

What A Ride Collection

Let me take you on a tour of some of the layouts and cards I created with one of the 2017 Retreat special edition collections. These are the layouts you can make with the kit when following the assembly instructions . . .

Check out the fun layout I created with the papers from the collection.

Rubber Stamps

Below is a set of simple yet fun greeting cards created with the What A Ride Stamps.

Sweet Tooth Collection

The prints from this collection were absolutely the perfect match for photos taken at Marilee's "Sweet Sixteen" birthday party! 

And here are Tricia's totally "sa-weet" layouts.

Masquerade Collection

I created this color blocked layout featuring a black and white photo from last year's Retreat.

Once again, here are the layouts you can make if you simply follow the instructions included in the kit.

I just love this quote. It's part of the Masquerade Collection and is something I need to remember!

I loved creating cards, layouts, and projects for this year's Retreat! Visit the Retreat "Pro Shop" to stock up on these collections while supplies last!

Basking in the afterglow until we meet again . . .

May 4th - National Scrapbooking Day

Welcome, National Scrapbooking Day Blog Hoppers!

This hop originates from the Club Scrap Creates Blog (in case you want to start at the beginning). Also check out the end of this entry to find out how to win the sheet of unmounted rubber stamps used in this layout!

Check out my fun 8.5x11 scrapbook page with my handsome dh and beautiful daughter . . .

The paper used is from the 2012 Retreat "By The Numbers" Paper Pack from the 2012 Retreat Kit. This collection just went 50% off!!! I just love the subtle earth tones it has to offer! The journaling block and bottom border strip is from the 12x12 Cutapart also found in the kit. The large "1,2,3" number embellishments were created by using the By The Numbers Borders & Backgrounds Unmounted Rubber stamps.

Check out the fun I had while making the number embellishments:

1. Use a foam brush to paint several coordinating colors onto a piece of white cover stock.

2. Once an area is covered with color, blend with light brush strokes of cream acrylic paint.

3. Spray the altered area with your favorite color of metallic or shimmer mist.

4. Stamp the unmounted number image onto the painted area with India Black ink.

5. Trim out the individual numbers with a small detail scissors.

6. Ink the edges of the numbers with a CS® Ink Applicator and India Black ink to hide the white base paper.

7. Layer the numbers onto a scrapbook page with foam adhesive.

Tah-dah! Easy as 1-2-3.

Everyone loves free stuff!
